It is inflammatory, but that wouldn't have stopped them, like Carolina girl posted, if the roles were reversed.

Probably because they had more than enough evidence to convict and didn't want to start a race riot. Also, they may not have been able to prove it happened.

because both prosecuters and defense realized it would have tainted the whole trial. Instead of barbaric and violent sex acts against a woman it would have been all about racism, and the racists from both sides would have been screaming...white racists screaming about hyprocrisy ridiculous double standards and black racists screaming about how his mind was warped by 300 years of racism; guy was piece of shite who happened to be black just like the other guy was a piece of shite who happened to be white.

Because it would be extraordinarily prejudicial against the defendant.
You'll not the quote in the OP said that the defense and the prosecution agreed to keep it out of the trial.
The defense would want it out for very obvious reasons. It would, on the surface, seem like something the prosecution would love to get in but consider that the statement does nothing to either prove or disprove the allegations. All it shows is that he hates white people, which isn't a crime.
Would it have helped them get a conviction at the trial court level? Of course, but the defense would have been given an avenue of appeal on a silver platter and in the long run the state may have had to try him again. By voluntarily keeping it of the trial, they still got the conviction with a far less chance of seeing it overturned later.
