who is responsible for the crime against any one.. the one who committed it. how r you going to blame todays whites for slavery in the past.. or todays germans..for what happened to the jewish people.. unless they are indeed the ones who committed the crimes.  unfortunately  black  on  black crime is at an all time high. so i would suggest we stop pointing the finger at everyone.   hello, racist come in all  colors. why dont you take it one step at a time.. starting with self improvement and then move on from there. prejudice will be around unfortunately as long as we all look .. act.. and talk in a different manner. so we can either stand in one position and complain and look for someone to blame or we can move on and try to improve our lives.

I cannot be responsible for my ancestors' decisions. I can, however, be responsible for myself and make sure that I don't make the same mistakes. Of course, blacks have rights, but they don't have any more right to monetary compensation than the Jewish or Irish who suffered racism in a different context. Slavery is wrong. Period. Sadly, slavery is as old as history itself, but that should only mean that we should always fight against it.

There are people who perform acts on behalf of our government that would be considered criminal if you and I performed them.\n\nThese acts run the gamut of crimes, but are USUALLY committed outside the United States.\n\nIn a world of terrorists, we rely on "black operations" to protect us.  May God bless the men and women who put their lives on the line to protect our freedom.

Yes.  He murdered four people in cold blood.  Volumes of evidence were presented proving his guilt.  Even the 9th Federal Circuit Court of Appeals, proven to be the most liberal, anti-death-penalty court in the nation, could not find sufficient cause to nullify the verdict.  He received his fair trial, his fair appeals process.  He continuously professed his innocence to delay (for nearly 30 years) his sentence, nothing more.  He capitalized on the fact that American society, with it's EXTREMELY short attention span, would forget the horrific crimes he committed.  He gambled on the possibility that we would forget what he did, become desensitized to it, and dismiss the jury's decision overly harsh.  Some arguing in his defense tried to portray the jury as a bunch of racist white rich folks intent on "murdering another innocent black man" (it wasn't all-white, check the record).  Fortunately, all of the right people saw through his charade, and ended his shennanigans, permanently.

In a perfect world where justice was perfectly administered every single time, the death penalty might be the appropriate punishment for the most heinous crimes. However, this isn't a perfect world. And, justice is rarely administered appropriately or fairly.  Race and class impact the judicial system. Those who are minorities and/or poor rarely receive the level of legal representation that the dominant race and/or the wealthy receive. Nor are they like to receive the same caliber of due process. Statistically, law enforcement treats minority and/or poor suspects quite differently than the wealthy. \n\nSo, at every step of the legal process from arrest to trial to judgement and finally, to the imposition of that judgement, the race and class of the person impacts the outcome. Because this is so endemic to the judicial system at both the federal and a state level, the death penalty  as the ultimate penalty should no longer be imposed at least not until the issues of class and race have been better resolved in the US than they are at present.

Less then the NAACP would want you to believe. I live in Jersey and when the scandal broke we all questioned one thing. Almost everyone complaining of racial profiling was found to be in the act of violating the LAW.... Drugs, Guns, you name it......

Justice is only truly defined in one's self.Equal justice-there is no equal justice who's to say what justifies another.To every situation there are exceptions and exceptions should be carried out when prevailing justice.

Racism is closely associated with poverty which is one of the main factors involving crime..\n\nSlavery is the child of Racism.  When slavery was abolished by Lincoln, blacks were free but could rarely find jobs due to white people pitching a biatch or threatening to boycott. So these black people were forced into slums which is our present day ghettos/projects.  With no money and many of the men not present in the home due to lynchings and whatnot, poverty thrived in the female-fronted household.  Lack of education and skills, along with opportunity, created a phenomenon of generational poverty in which several generations of black families were poor.  \n\nLiving in poverty created hopelessness.  People without hope have no stake in the future and live for the present.  They struggle just to pay the rent, put food on the table and live.  Illegal activities such as drug traffiking, prostitution and gangs give these people quick money to take care of their families and they end up becoming numb to the destruction it causes.  \n\nThis is how, ultimately, racism is a direct cause of crime. Not all crimes, but crimes in the inner cities and predominately minority inhabited areas, or areas where people live at or below the poverty level.

Which white people are you talking about?  No one that I know has a problem with anyone, black or white, discussing slavery and learning about it.  I do have an issue with those who pick the most outrageous incidents and state as a fact "We know your evil, wicked, dirty ancestors beat, tortured and killed millions of innocent slaves".  Millions killed is an extreme exaggeration.  Think about it for a minute.  The slaveowner's livelihood depended on slave labor.  They were valuable property.  What modern farmer would deliberately wreck his tractor or risk damaging it by purposely exceeding its mechanical limits?  And, concerning your point #4, are the Black Africans who accepted those guns in exchange for slaves any less responsible than the white slavers who offered them?

The vindictiveness reflected by the actions of the American Justice system is representative of the vindictiveness of the American people.

I think you meant to ask " Why are there more African-Americans in jail than any other race?". I believe that there must be more African-Americans committing crimes than any other race. I would guess that the percentage of who gets caught is close to equal across all races. Therefore, the more crimes, the more caught. We all know what's illegal, so those that choose to break the law might just have to suffer the consequences of their actions. I hope this has been helpful.

meaning that the individuals punishment should fit the crime committed..

Becuase America need to pay for their crime, because it's over doesn't mean their except from a crime. See it's pride of America everyone like to blame what America and their ancestors did on the "Africans". I guess the Africans killed 100 million blacks on their trip here. I guess the "Africans" shoot them, lynch, burn alive, rape, burn their homes, rob of their nationality, names, culture, customs, religion, and families. I guess the "Africans" call them Nigger, and put hoses on them, sent dogs after them. What about the Africans that put them in iron collars, worked from sun up to sun down, whip, beaten, then poured salt in their wounds, I guess it was the Africans. I could go on and on about what America and white America ancestors did. But they all have too much pride to admit it. They don't tell you that they get to benefit from 400 years of oppression to this day. America will bankrupt just repaying for the millions they kill. They will go bankrupt just for the million they mistreated. And if they have to repay for free labor bankrupt their too. If not the fact that America owe blacks anything it the fact America don't have a right to benefit from it. No one no matter what race should come here are be living off the expense of our ancestors that America still hates. The question is who will blacks back then want to benefit form their expense, everyone or just their descendants.
