You think prosecutors are intentionally hurting their cases by wasting their challenges on the personal satisfaction of keeping the black man down?
"Blacks from low income areas are less likely to convict, and as a result you don't want those people on your jury."

I'm sorry, but I believe that prosecutors who assure themselves they're being realistic by focusing racially, that they're just professionals trying to win their case, are still absolutely racist. Just because they don't gain any personal satisfaction from acting so doesn't make their actions right.
