And also, Global Warming.
Someone should ask this jacka** who gives greater support to killing blacks to keep their population numbers down: white Conservatives who are pro death penalty or white Liberals who are pro abortion ...
I’m curious - why wouldn’t someone support the death penalty?
There aren’t a lot of murders in my part of the country, but in the last few years there were two cases of multiple murders. One pos shot and killed two shopkeepers, and one man slit the throats of his three young girls. Both killers were white. I gladly support public hanging for both of those worthless oxygen thieves.
without reading it, lemme guess... racism?
Is Jamelle a boy or a girl?
Maybe an LGBTQ-thing-it?
Whatever, his/her/its parents deserve capital punishment for giving him/her/it such a stupid name.
Presumably, word of this plot has circulated through the black community by now. Why do they continue to commit crimes which will bring this "control" down on themselves?
Hmmmm
“Blacks” are over represented on Death Row because of the bad choices they freely made.
Elsewhere, I note that “blacks” are over represented among abortionists’ clients. That’s a choice, too.
Make bad choices, get bad results ...
Is Mr. Bouie aware the death penalty is being employed by black citizens daily, particularly in urban areas, without due process of law?
The out of control abortion rate in black communities is taking care of racial control far more than capital punishment.
It's very good that the "This article is a big pile of horse hockey" quote was included in the excerpt.
Perhaps it’s because whites as a whole are less inclined to tolerate murderous thuggish behavior while other groups make excuses for it?
There was a time when Capital Punishment was enforced on rapists and within days of conviction. We were a much saner society then!
“Jamelle Bouie isn’t white, so therefore he is not qualified to talk about white people.” /typical liberal belief.
Blacks are in fact over represented on death row with about 42% of inmates being black when you consider the proportion of blacks (~12%) in the US population.
That is not the right comparison though. People are not randomly selected for the death penalty out of the US population. It is the population of murderers that should be looked at. When looking at the percentage of blacks in this population (~52%) it's easy to see that they are in fact UNDER represented on death row.
Personally, I have no idea what the racial makeup of death row is. I don't care. I support capital punishment for two reasons. One, I'm a fan of let the punishment fit the crime, and yes there are some crimes that merit death. Two, the low recidivism rate has a lot of appeal. ;-)
Yet more black babies are aborted than white babies ... at Planned Parenthood, an organization founded by the racist Margaret Sanger who’s stated mission was to eliminate black people.
People don’t look at the nature of the murders.
I know that if a black man kills me in a fight in a working man’s bar, or as my drug addicted roommate, that he won’t get the death penalty (and vice versa), but if he comes into my restaurant and murders me in the course of a robbery, or kills my wife at her real estate office, then he might get the death penalty (and vice versa).
People need to look at what the nature and details of the interracial murders were, to compare apples to apples.
