Zimmerman / Martin Case, EX-USA Opinions

[Steve]

Yes Al if there is one thing that Florida and the South is known for it is their lenient treatment of blacks! They get all the breaks!

This data is for all the US, but you get the idea.

Persons Executed for Interracial Murders in the U.S. Since 1976 The cases represented here are cases of one defendant executed for the murder of one or more victims of one race. Cases involving multiple victims of several different races are not included here.
White Defendant / Black Victim (20)


Black Defendant / White Victim (261)

Executions for Interracial Murders

Those numbers simply prove there is much more black on white violence than white on black violence, which is a well known fact.

Black on black violence surpasses both however.

Really? I'd love to see the statistics that prove that fact.

And of course, if you extend it back over a 200 year period, what happens to this "fact?"

I have to agree with Mr Young's first statement. The chart only proves there were 20 and 261 executions. It does not prove anything more, there's more data needed to draw any other conclusion.

To put things in perspective for the same period, we need to know the total numbers of murders, race on race, interracial, number of convictions, number of arrests, number of unsolved, etc....

Read the whole table closely. And I refuse to be accountable for something some stupid bigotted white slave owner did before I was born. Our justice system doesn't work that way.......yet
