You do get that the race of the victim is highly determinative of who get put on death row, right

I never disputed it doesn’t

What I commented too was the remark in # 215 What matters is that if he’d been white he would not have been executed wrt Florida

It’s just so typical that you’d jump in to correct WBL’s obvious hyperbole with an eager “but actually …” and stopping there. The real story is how prosecutors and juries nationwide don’t seem to comparatively value black lives nearly as much as white ones.
