So he defends people of color. Why is that such an issue with you? He has been involved with civil rights issues since the late 1950's and early 1960's. Since civil rights violations predominantly occur against persons in minority groups, it makes perfect sense that he would defend people of color.

And, since you don't have a lsiting of all of his clients from the time of his passing the bar, you don't know what ethnicity all of his clients have been.

Whether you choose to believe it or not, there is a huge disparity between arrest, conviciton, and sentence between persons of color and caucasions. It needs to be addressed. Simply chosing to defend a person of color hardly qaulifies as "playing the race card."
