Hmmm. I wonder...nah.

I could have sworn they said education was the key predictor, but it says it's actually the state they're charged in which also makes a lot of sense
but education is a stronger indicator than race itself
Yeah, it says that
but then toward the end of the article:
The best predictor, he says, is the state in which a person is convicted: There were 42 executions in the U.S. last year, 26 of which took place in Texas.
Hi. No.
I am racist.
so, wait
are you saying fuck you Lincoln for setting those slaves free because look at all the trouble they're making?
Ain't I a stinker.
should've just sent them back home, really.
I propose and support the extermination of all cats.
it would be a cross between Invisible Man and The Invisible Man
it's about a world in which all black people are invisible
at first it seems like a utopia, but it turns out it's a dystopia because the black people steal everyone's stuff
so all of them are forced to wear special tracking collars
but some escape and form a secret rebel society
the answer is...racism?
I came into this topic to say that I remember when the verdict was announced for the original trial because it was during the middle of a school day and they paused all the classes to let us know the results over the intercom system. There were audible gasps
They're all related, but the state is kind of like a category under which the levels of education and racism go, if you catch my drift
No, I don't believe I did.
I said I was racist, that doesn't mean I support slavery.
And yes, we should have sent them all back home and kept the borders on lockdown.
That being said, I voted for Obama.
You had me at hello.
.....you had me at hello.
But it's only nonsense to you because you don't understand it.
Its called "Liberia" and its a shithole now.
JOOOOEEE DUUUOOOO
I'm ok with them being here now since we have reached a stage where we couldn't reverse it anyway. I firmly believe that it was a mistake to bring them here in the first place. Not just blacks though either, I'm a firm believer that our open door policy will be our destruction.
Educational standards are low because of "minority" issues.
High crime rates are sufficiently tied to "minority" issues.
Drug trafficking and use amongst youth is increasing more and more, many thanks go to the "minority" issue.
Welfare and "Government teet sucking" are abused by a high percentage of folks victim to the "minority" issue.
At the end of the day, I am not saying that "black folk" are solely responsible for the issues in this country. I am however saying that statistical data doesn't shine a good light on their general population and I refuse to deny the issue because it is not politically correct or because I will be called racist.
We need to stop with the fucking "minority" shit and let everyone be equal, because as we cater to skin color were not really hindering racism at all, quite the opposite; were etching it into our laws and system of government.
Imagine Han Solo is racism, frozen in carbonite, and that carbonite is our country.
It looks like you almost typed "monetary" issues, so I'm just gonna assume you said that and ignore the rest.

dude was a rebel fighter in Liberia and was in a very famous picture of the Liberian conflict
it's touching!
no, the point is that regardless of race, the state you live is the most significant predictor for whether you'll actually be executed
I mean, if you read the article (not even that long) it even clearly explains this is because some states are more conservative and hence more willing to actually execute while other states are more liberal and less willing to execute, increasing the chance your appeal will work regardless of your race
What the hell am I supposed to do with my anger now? It doesn't just go away, you know.

Your viewpoints are stupid and indicate a lack of understanding of any of the relevant fields. Like even a "college 101" understand of sociology, economics, or history.
I'm positive you've got a hell of a better grip of the situation than me, so I'm just arguing for understanding
would it be a dumb thing to say that the conservatism/liberalism of a given state are interrelated to education? it really doesn't seem as cut and dry as that to me
not dumb at all
none of these phenomena are independent, so I would agree that there's probably a trend in more conservative states toward worse public education and especially for minorities which probably tend to live in districts that are separate from middle to upper class communities where education is better funded
so they certainly do play off of each other to some extent
I remember that too. A bunch of us ran around shouting that he was found not guilty, quite excitedly.
I have no problem admiting that I used to be dumb as hell. (I blame my strict, sheletered upbringing)
"Non-whites are to blame."
