🇺🇸 Discussion: The Death Penalty

Yeah. That makes it unacceptable, but even if you were 100% sure (not possible) that someone was guilty, the unequal application makes it de facto discriminatory.

Very true as well. I imagine people of color get life without parole more often and for lesser crimes than whites.

That has been shown to be true, but it's also a socio-economic issue too no matter your color. Of course, people of color make less money that do white people so they're kind of double screwed.
