That’s why your assertion of more blacks being executed, is ridiculous. But facts has never really been your strong point, has it Mr K?
Trying to insert some racist agenda in the justice system, is a bit low even for you, especially when it’s not the case as the above numbers actually show. |
It's obviously not about absolute numbers but the chances of being executed in the US are higher if you're black than white as the country is composed of 13% black people and 72% white people.
So, a proportionate number of executions in 2017 would have been more like 17 white (not 13) and 3 black (not 8). We would need to track back over several years to see a full picture.
