Twelve Angry Men Changing Elements

In the play Twelve Angry Men it was written so an nineteen year old young African American man, is on trial for the murder of his father. The play is about the jurors and how one person can change everyone else's decision. This play is taking place in the 1950's and the judges are white and racist, and a young black mans life is in their hands. In the beginning of the story all of the jurors but one believed that he was guilty just based on the color of his skin. Juror ten says in the play,

"You're not gonna' tell me we're supposed to believe this kid, knowing what he is."

This quote shows how racist juror ten is that he won't believe the young man just because of the color of his skin. This quote is showing that he isn't even looking at any of the evidence, he is just assuming that he is lying.  Juror ten also says again about how he thinks the young man is lying by saying,

 "I've lived among them all my life. You can't believe a word they say. You know that. I mean, they're born liars."

Juror ten is so racist that he said that the young man was born a liar because of the color of his skin. He was so blinded by the color of his skin that he would not even listen to his story.
But what if the young man was white, do you think that the jury would have gave him a fair shot from the beginning rather then having to have one juror change everyone's mind. Or what if all of the jurors were racist, then an innocent life would have been lost because of the ignorance of others.
