I figured I would head off the firestorm this was invariably going to cause:

% of Executed who were black:
57% (executed)

% of Death Row Inmates who are black:
43% (same cite as above)

% of all (single-offender) violent crimes committed by blacks:
24.1% (requires Acrobat Reader)
(statistics for year 2000)

% of US population reported as "African-American":
12.9%
(year 2000 census)

OK - so there's still some comparative flaws in this breakdown, but you can start to see a disparity forming . . .

And that's w/out even including my opinion in the matter - these are just the cold, hard numbers.
