Perception, inequality and justice (or lack thereof): Prison industrial complex set up to kill minorities

Race emerges as a death penalty issue . . . Blacks are disproportionately represented on the nation’s death rows. And blacks who kill whites are overwhelmingly more likely to be executed than blacks who kill other blacks or whites who kill blacks.

And just to make things personal I'll mention that TKC noted this same fact in June when just about everyone in Kansas City wanted Micheal Taylor dead for the white girl he killed in Ruskin Heights without much mention of the racial epithets used at his trial.
