That would be because a disproportioned amount of minorities are on death row.
Why is this you may be asking, well it would seem that if you are a young black man murder is the largest killer in the US. If you take a young white man of the same age and you want to even the odds out a bit you would have to drop him off in Baghdad.
Sure it’s sad, but don’t tell me it’s racism, I have seen plenty of people from all walks of life grow out of the surroundings and accomplish greatness. This is not because of their background but in spite of it. Last I checked America is still the land of the free, a place where you have rights and responsibilities. If you take that seriously then you can see why.
Too many people today feel as if the world owes them something. And I and here to tell you that it does. It owes you hardship, pain, suffering. That is all it will give you for free, but if you act now…. You can make something of yourself.
Show the world the talking heads and redneck racists are not only ignorant but wrong.
People of all races, creeds and colors must raise their children; it doesn’t take a village it takes two parents, a mother and a father. Two people with morals, two people willing to give their children something to build on.
It’s hard, life is the hardest thing you will ever do, but it is why we are here. Might as well make the best of it.

Because most violent crime is committed by the lower classes of "people". Time to do away with death row and carry out the death sentence!

A majority of crimes are commited in lower income neighborhoods. Usually those neighborhoods end up being a majority of other ethnic groups other than white. Also it does seem that people that aren't white are persued by the court a bit harsher.
I just read an article about children taken by the state. It did say that black children are put into foster homes more often than white children....had nothing to do the with the neighborhood just the ingrained prejudice of the case workers.
Sad but true.

The system is slanted against any body of color. Some of this is the fault of judges/goverment. The solution to the problem is to implement anti-crime programs that do more than extend sentences, but to stop crime before it begins.

blah blah blah so we are supposed to feel bad for the poor minority murderers now. lets work on making sure the white murderers end up on death row too and not waste time feeling bad for the minority MURDERERS.

Because minorities are less educated therefore more prone to poverty therefore more prone to a life of crime
