If racial discrimination is supposedly the problem (a premise I do not accept, but will assume for purposes of argument), how is halting executions the solution to the problem? Applying the death penalty more rigorously (e.g. in more cases in which the victim is black or the accused is white) would be an equally effective solution. This argument also ignores how capital crime cases are actually decided, i.e. they are based on what the accused actually did (as proven by the prosecution beyond a reasnable doubt), not on the color of his skin.
