It's Reddit. At least 30% of the black people on there probably aren't even AA.
if your job harms the black community its counter to the code. Simple as that.
Literally the same exact job could be on code or off it depending on how you approach it.
Black lawyer 1: defense attorney represents lower income black people. keeps innocent black men out jail = on code
Black lawter 2: Prosecutor works with the government to put black people in jail = off code

What's the % breakdown here?
Everyone here pretends to be Black. I can think of like 5 - 8 posters who admit they aren't.

Can you be a prosecutor who is known for leniency for Black people?
I remember I was at a party and a person who worked for Nike was giving someone who worked for Facebook shyt for like the Russia influence on the site. She quickly shot back about Nike exploiting kids in their manufacturing. One guys designs clothes not even shoes for Nike the other sold advertising on Facebook. Both are not actually doing the harmful thing their company does do. And good jobs not being aplenty I thought they were both wrong. It's rough enough out here to be so picky about where you work especially if you are not doing harm.
code 
Only if the law is absolutely correct always. But sometimes the law is wrong, and you still got to give a black person significant jail time for a rule break that was designed specifically to target black men.

I think there's a myriad of things going on in a DAs office that even if you have to follow the law and prosecute someone you personally feel doesn't deserve it and the mandatory sentence a conviction would result in is unfair. You can do so much good in other areas.
I asked partly because your analogy brought to mind a real world example: The first African American DA in Brooklyn was celebrated when he got in office due to his politics and how he said he would hold the position. And he followed thru on what he said ending some of the unjust policies of his white predecessor. It was a real tragedy when he died suddenly from cancer.
" . . . Following a career as a federal prosecutor and attorney in private practice, Thompson was elected to Brooklyn District Attorney in 2013, unseating a long-time incumbent and becoming the first African American DA elected in the borough. During his short tenure in office, he achieved a number of groundbreaking reforms. He established a Conviction Review Unit that quickly became a national model by exonerating over 20 wrongfully convicted individuals. To date, the CRU has vacated 120 convictions.
Thompson was also the first DA to stop prosecuting low-level marijuana possession as nearly 90% of those arrested were Black or Latino. That decision was a controversial move back in 2014 but proved to be the first step in the march toward legalization, which became the law in New York earlier this year. He was the first to establish a program to vacate summons warrants for minor infractions like walking a dog without a leash or being in a park after dark, leading the city and other DAs to follow suit. His vision resulted in the dismissals of hundreds of thousands of old outstanding warrants that held many people back from receiving education, housing and other benefits. He created the first Young Adult Court to provide needed interventions instead of seeking convictions against defendants ages 16 to 24, an approach that was used as a template for the “Raise the Age” legislation.
He strongly believed that everyone had a right to be safe in their own neighborhood and served as a fearless leader on behalf of social and racial justice in this country. He was also a loving husband to his wife Lu-Shawn and an adoring father to his two children. Thompson was diagnosed with colorectal cancer in 2016 and passed away on October 9, 2016."
This dude managed to do it in a way that does in fact stay on code. I admire that.I think there's a myriad of things going on in a DAs office that even if you have to follow the law and prosecute someone you personally feel doesn't deserve it and the mandatory sentence a conviction would result in is unfair.

...however there are a lot of prosectors that simply toe the line and don't make sweeping changes to the system like this. They are more prevalent, hence my example. But yes if they managed to actually serve the black community while being a prosecutor. than i would salute that,

Completely agree, this guy is the exception. Most just don't have Black folks as a priority. See Manhattan DA Alvin Bragg who is also Black.

Reminds me of the part on Bamboozled where Damon Wayans was looking

Wayans: "No you fukkED a african american in college"
Rappaport: "WHOA don't go below the belt here

This scene may not make sense without context but:Reminds me of the part on Bamboozled where Damon Wayans was looking
Ole girl: "I actually had african american studies in college"
Wayans: "No you fukkED a african american in college"
Rappaport: "WHOA don't go below the belt here
This really sums up the past decade
