It has in the past been used by all white juries to find "not guilty" a fellow white man who obviously did kill a black man. Conversely, some black juries have notoriously returned that favor.
The dangers of Jury Nullification seem to be solely caused by non-integrated juries. The remedy then is to see to a balance, not to throw out a time tested principle of nullification that helped free those who freed slaves.
(Remember, those were all white juries who found those who hid runaway slaves "not guilty", so not all whites or all blacks are bad. Best to keep that balance though, if demographically possible.)
