    You’re right, most people on death row are black. But most murderers are not, they are white. While blacks make up half of everyone in prison, including death row, two thirds of violent criminals are white, according to the Justice Dept.’s surveys of crime victims. I’d like to turn the question around to your own future profession. Why do people in the criminal justice system continue to use the other set of statistics, the ones from the FBI, which give the FALSE impression that most criminals in American are not white? Don’t you see that you do everyone a grave injustice by doing that? It does more to promote hatred between different groups than anything the Klan could ever hope to do.
