Trump just put in a rush order to execute 4 more Black folk before inauguration day

[Professor Emeritus]

They were already on death row?

They were put on death row by white Southern juries in the 1990s when putting the hammer down on Black folk was the cool thing to do. Some of them were just teenagers, others were mentally disabled, others were just accomplices in murders they didn't even commit, but juries didn't care about that shyt back then.

In the 2000s, America started following what most of the developed world began decades ago and was rethinking the death penalty. Over 20 states have banned the death penalty since then and most of the others have a moratorium on it. Until this year, not a single federal inmate had been executed since 2003. Since 2010, the only states that have executed anyone are former slave states or deep-red midwestern/mountain states.

So far this year only 5 states executed anyone at all (6 if South Carolina goes through with a planned on in a couple weeks) and they're all in the South.

This is the epitome of a trash-ass both sides post. NOTHING in this post has fukk-all to do with the thread. It's just a bunch of completely unrelated shyt you threw against the wall to deflect from Trump literally ordering the deaths of Black men.

I showed those who are mocking Black folks who demand better from Dems by calling us "Both Siders": that good Ole Democrats like Bill Clinton had no problem hopping off the campaign trail to oversee the execution of a mentally deficient Black man.

Those throwing around the "Both sides" slur do that to act like Democrats aren't capable of bad decisions and only Trump and the Repubs ever did anything to harm Black folks. They want to protect Dems from any criticism.

Any Black person on here who criticizes Dems = "see you are team MAGA".
Meanwhile all kinds of political commentators, writers, historians, journalists, activists will make the same complaints about Democratic failures and what they need to do better. So save that secret Trump supporter/Team MAGA bullshyt.

Again, in fukking 1992. You couldn't come up with a single example of a Democratic president executing anyone since 1992. While Trump is trying to execute 6 Black men in a single month.

If you can't tell that feelings around the death penalty have changed since 1992 then you're really too ignorant to open your mouth in a political discussion and should just be listening and learning.

Any Black person on here who criticizes Dems = "see you are team MAGA".

Total bullshyt. I have criticized the Dems venomously, numerous times.

But this wasn't a thread about Democratic failures. Democrats have literally nothing to do with Trump's actions in the OP. So your feverish need to rush to Trump's defense and "both sides" any criticism of him, which in this case you had to reach back 28 years to do, just shows how desperate you are to avoid the actual topics of the day.

Excellent thread @Rhakim!!!

But yes, the death penalty is racist as hell and needs to be abolished, especially since our criminal justice system is constructed to degrade Black people at every level.

A Black male teenager can be an accomplice to a crime or witness some crazy white mess. The corrupt police snatch him up and coerce him into a confession that is legally held against him. They appoint him an overworked lawyer who provides very poor legal advice. Because they are innocent, they attempt to fight for their freedom with a jury of his "peers". A jury of old white folks only see Black, young, and criminal convict him and allow the judge to grant the death penalty. Where is the justice?

A white teenager can get in the similar circumstance but white folks extend humanity at every point. The police snatch him and offer him food before booking. Rather than force a confession, they allow the public defender to provide legal counsel. His family get alerted of their rights and advise to spend money on a lawyer. Some white lawyers will even take on their cases for free. Before even stepping into trial, they have removed the death penalty and the courts take in consideration that it is their first time. White teenager may spend a few years in juvie and get out on parole for 5-10 years. Hell, if they go to college, the courts may expunge their record.

It isn't fair at all. We gotta overhaul our entire criminal justice system, but Trump is an a$$hole. I really want to hear folks talk about tangibles/platinum plan/both sides when Black men are the ones being executed at abnormal rates. Watch he pardon a bunch of white men and excuse himself and his family from criminal proscecution.

Acting like Dems are noble saviours always on the right side of things is DANGEROUS and bad politics for Black folks!!

 

[CW_1991]

We're talking about inmates on death row?

If so, who cares? What if one of these guys was in for a beating a child to death with a hammer for defending his smaller sister ( I'm sure some of y'all remember that story).

Lot of disingenuous fake outrage here.

 

[the bossman]

But they aren't fast tracking a stimulus bill. nikkas really tried to convince us to not vote this clown out

Had to be some of the dumbest logic I've ever seen.

On some "well there was racism before Trump there will be racism after. No difference"

More both sides evidence. But keep ignoring tho

"I did more for black people than Abe Lincoln"

Abe Lincoln is Trump's cousin

 

[tuckgod]

True. We saw it happen to Gaddafi and Hussein on video...so why not?

Exactly.
