    I will use this play to show you how racism, group dynamics, and bias can spill the beans and ruin someone's life. If you are black, 1 out of 3 black men will get sentenced to prison. Thats pretty scary if you think about it, especially when is just 1 in 17 for white males. Group dynamics, or how the group works together and acts around each other, can lead to a hung jury.
