The saddest part is that all too many whites, mostly the older ones, think this multiplier is too low.

Trouble is, they forget MarTwain’s maxim. “Before you quote statistics, you have to get your facts straight.”

Nah We'd actually be more happy if they execute every 1st degree murderer, black or white.

This is cuz we are not racist.

Mark Twain said there were three types of lies: lies, damned lies and statistics.

Since I didn't quite get how people are stating the 17% number based on race, and my numbers actually show there are more whites on death row than any other minority, I decided to look further into numbers.

Apparently one item people forgot to look at was gender. I now have found out that female victims cause death penalty more than color. So I believe everyone is looking at this the wrong way entirely.

I think color/race needs to be taken out of the equation. You commit the crime, pay the price. End of discussion .
