I'm with @Pants-of-dog on this, race seems to be a factor in the death penalty, especially depending on the race of victim. And race of jury seems to matter too, both whites and blacks seem to sometimes retreat into their own tribes, which is totally weird.

Yet more reason the death penalty is dumb.

Racism is universal, I do not deny the presence of racism when it comes to the death penalty. However it is unwise to assume that the high percentage of Black people in death row is solely related to racism. The reason a high percentage of Black people are in death Row is complex and multi factorial and not solely due to racism. To simply present correlation does not mean causation.

The NBA and the NFL are majority black. Does that mean the NBA and the NFL are racist institutions?

I am against the death penalty, however that will not stop me for voting for a Republican candidate if the rest of the platform is a good one.
