The Death Penalty is Racist? - GoFuckYourself.com

lol, how the fuck could the death penalty be racist? i was on this other board and they're all talking about how the death penalty is racist because most of the people executed are black. i think that would be because black people are getting convicted of violent crimes more than white people. i just don't get how someone could say the death penalty is racist because a white man could go murder a family in a state with the death penalty and he will probably get it. wtf...

and what if a white man kills a black family ?

People are idiots. Get used to that. No use arguing. Just nod your head and walk away.

We have the same shit in Holland. Every day the newspapers write about Maroccon guys stealing, beating people up or in the worst case murdering someone. The Marrocon community's response to that is that its racist yadiya blah blah. I cant stop thinking to myself: Stop stealing, beating people up etc and you wont appear in the newspaper. Its really that simple.

Most Serial Killers are white. I believe most of Death Row is white guys. But that's not the point I want to make... Though I'm black. That means nothing. The BIG people judge by class... It's all about rich and poor... Not racist... So when a idiot throws racist slurs. It shows just how raisin sized his brain is...

Marrocon = Moroccan

People will always play the race card when they don't have a good argument otherwise.

serial killers seldom kill outside their own race BTW with the possible exception of the 'bin ladin crowd'

I view them as serial killers, not freedom fighters or terrorist. just plain old everyday average serial kllers. that's what it would be here in the states.

imaging rounding up tards and strapping dynomite to them and turning them lose in the mall. that my friends is serial killing at it's finest.

Wrong!

Of course money is advantageous in our current criminal system. The more money you have, the better representation you can afford. Class probably mostly plays a role in so far as the rich are better able to defend themselves.

The biggest problem is that the system requires people to participate without prejudice and bias. People in the United States tend to have prejudices and biases that will influence their judgment. This is where the biggest problem originates in our system.

It shouldn't be a racist thing. It only happened that more black people are in the death row than white people.

Young · 12-05-2005, 11:16 PM

I'm not going to get into it here though I have had some good arguments here on GFY with other thinkers such as myself...but I don't feel like I could get any of you ignoramus' to even consider it.

It all boils down to jury selection, access to lawyers, money for expert witnesses, shit like that.

So is the ddeath penalty racist? An argument could be made that it is....trust me....I took a semester long (48 classes) class RE: the death penalty and racism in the USA.

Some sanctity

Its all just another of the fun ways religion has of getting into everyday life - sorta like boiling and eating babies proclaimed in the bible (Kings) - hell - if its good enough for God then its good enough for common man - fools

The death penalty isn't racist. Inner cities is where MOST crime occurs in the US. Most crime is also committed within the races ( black on black, white on white, mexican on mexican, etc)..only 12-14% of violent crimes are considered interracial. So when we execute MOST blacks it's because they killed other blacks. Same with whites, mexicans, asians ,etc...you politically correct people need to thinik before you speak.

And did your professor pat you on the head for regurgitating their liberal rhetoric back at them?

MarkMan · 12-06-2005, 05:33 PM

how about having a system where the defended is behind a one way glass.

and in no part of the trial .. would hits be given about the race of the defended.

tristan_D · 12-07-2005, 06:42 PM

I don't think that its a racist, but more of pro-rich. If you have no money to defend yourself you are more likely to receive the death penalty without a possibility of reprieve so most of those who get executed are poor
