Endivius -> RE: Perry on the death penalty cracked me up, how do you feel? (9/9/2011 11:49:01 PM)

I just wanted to jump in real quick and enlighten a few of you lazy twits who like to jump to bold conclusions instead of taking ten minutes out of your life to shed some of your idiocy and find out the truth.
Based on the UCR, the BJS, and DPIC the following statistics have been gathered since 1976, and have maintained a linear pattern with a +/- of 3% of all reported crimes and executions based on those crimes in the united states.
Races of defendants executed in the U.S. since 1976:
Black 35%
White 56%
Latino 7%
Other 2%
I guess caucasians should get up in arms and start bitching about how "the man" is racist and unjust. Oh wait, maybe you are just all full of shit. Over 50% more caucasians are executed every year than any other race in this country, and those numbers have stayed constant since they began keeping records in 1976. How about that.
Races of victims of executed inmates since 1976:
Black 15%
White 77%
Latino 6%
Other 3%
Oh man, look at those numbers, I could go on about this, but the staggering gap pretty much sums it up.
Races of Defendants executed for interracial capital crimes since 1976:
Black 1358 41.77%
White 1420 43.68%
Latino 394 12.12%
Other 79 2.3%
Race of the VICTIM played more in the role of death pentalty verdicts than race of the acused in over 82% of the cases. So no more hanging on the old, "If he was white, he'd get away with it" bullshit.
As it happens campers, California has more people on death row than any other state, a staggering 721 and guess what, it happens to be equally white and black on death row. Exactly 259. California has almost twice as many inmates on death row as the next state down on the list, Florida with 398 wich has 216 white on death row, and 144 black on death row. And then there's Texas with 126 blacks and 97 whites. Interestingly and not surprisingly, Texas has the second highest Latino population on death row with 94 behind only California's 167.
It also happens, that the appeals process in California is four times more congested than Texas and leads to half as many aquittals.
Now lets look at race by victimology, don't want any of you fuckwads jumping on a train of thought without some actual information to help you get there, since google is apparently fucking broken for you :
Homicide Type by Race, 1976-2005
Victims Offenders
White Black Other White Black Other
All homicides 50.9% 46.9% 2.1% 45.8% 52.2% 2.0%
Victim/offender relationship
Intimate 56.6% 41.2% 2.2% 54.4% 43.4% 2.2%
Family 60.7% 36.9% 2.4% 59.2% 38.5% 2.3%
Infanticide 55.9% 41.6% 2.5% 55.4% 42.1% 2.5%
Eldercide 69.2% 29.1% 1.6% 54.5% 43.8% 1.6%
Circumstances
Felony murder 54.7% 42.7% 2.6% 39.1% 59.3% 1.6%
Sex related 66.9% 30.5% 2.5% 54.7% 43.4% 1.9%
Drug related 37.4% 61.6% .9% 33.9% 65.0% 1.1%

Arson 58.9% 38.1% 2.9% 55.7% 42.0% 2.3%
Poison 80.6% 16.9% 2.5% 79.8% 18.4% 1.8%
Multiple victims
or offenders
Multiple victims 63.4% 33.2% 3.3% 55.7% 40.8% 3.5%
Multiple offenders 54.8% 42.5% 2.7% 44.6% 53.0% 2.4%
how about that, almost neck and neck accross the board with +/- of 3%. Fucking scary how close the numbers are, with the exception of poison and workplace related murders being overwhelmingly white related murder on white victims.
Here's another gem for you since apparently, painting sweeping generalizations about race, crime, and the death penalty seems to be more popular than spending five fucking minutes reading :
From 1976 to 2005 --
86% of white victims were killed by whites
94% of black victims were killed by blacks
Feel free to paint sweeping generalizations, don't expect anyone to take you seriously though.
Now if you want to debate the death penalty on it's morality feel free. Keep Race out of it, you won't look like such a jackass.
Edit, typo.
