Michelino, On your racial soapbox you state: the numbers of blacks being executed are far outside the proportions of even the numbers who commit murders. What facts back this up? Here in North Carolina the majority of murder victims are black as are the number of murderers - and hence the backlog on death row. However, in deference to the 'race card', the majority of executions are caucasian. Understand that I am pro-life and am against the death penalty (for all races). I just don't appreciate unsound arguments based on urban myths.
