I don't hear much about the racial statistics of murder victims either. Minorities are over-represented there too. And victims deserve justice too.

"One other note, those who support racial equity in executions should remember that while 54% of murders are committed by blacks, only 44% of those executed are black. They ought to be careful what they wish for." Can I ask where you got those numbers, Bill? Are they for the U.S. generally, or for a particular state? I found a very long but interesting discussion about racial equity in executions that is saying something radically different, so it would be helpful to know your source: deathpenaltyinfo.org
