saying the confederate heritage is only 5% racist because only 5% of southern whites owned slaves is sort of like saying most of us here aren't real M football fans because 99.9% of us never suited up to play for the Wolverines.
And by pointing out that 28% of freed blacks owned slaves I sincerely hope that you are not implying that free blacks were more racist than the southern whites in the 1860s because 28%>5%.
This isn't simply a question of national security vs. privacy. Privacy is not the only thing that is at stake when the backdoor is created.
Purely from a national security standpoint we are weighing 1) maybe losing crucial information on these murderers against 2) potential future national security risks due to security exploits that can be (and will be) used by foreign governments.
Tough choice and it's not as simple as screw-the-govmin-coz-they-cant-be-trusted.
