【美国日记】21.05.11 加速实施“种族灭绝”!

这就是美国!美国已经几乎几十年没有执行死刑了,在BLM兴起,白人至上主义抬头,美国警察残杀少数族裔层出不穷,根据预测,美国白人将在未来几十年失去主导地位(人口占比低于50%)的前提下,突然加速死刑执行率,“司马昭之心路人皆知”!

《国会山报》:南卡罗来纳州众议院本周以66票对43票的赞成票投票通过,增加了射杀队作为该州执行死刑的方式。如果由于缺少必要的药物而无法通过致命注射来杀死死亡,则法律要求被判有罪的囚犯在被枪毙或电死之间进行选择。如果南卡罗来纳州州长如预期的那样签署该法案,该州将与俄克拉荷马州,密西西比州和犹他州一道,通过射杀队来执行死刑。

南卡罗来纳州上次处死囚犯是十年前。支持者说,该法案旨在“加速”执行死刑,并给受害者家属一种“终结感”。

州政府召集一支射击队的想法可能使许多人畏缩,因为它让人联想起军事处决的形象。 “要求”某人通过电刑而不是开枪选择死亡的想法几乎是肯定的,因为国家几乎没有注射致命注射的药物,这使其他人认为,整个讨论是如此离奇,以至无法轻信。

为了获得良好的答案,您必须提出良好的问题。南卡罗来纳州立法机关的问题的实质是,他们认为最重要的问题是“如何加快执行死刑的速度?”而不是问问题:“国家应该处死任何人吗?”

让我们看一些事实。美国人口中约有13%是黑人。在美国死囚牢房中,约有41%是黑人。研究反复表明,司法系统将黑人判处死刑的机会远高于白人。黑人因白人死亡而受到定罪的机会比白人因杀害黑人而被定罪的机会要高得多。死刑显然是不可逆转的,但在美国,每年平均有3.9名死囚被判无罪并从监狱释放。

在美国关于死刑的讨论中,种族偏见的阴影一直笼罩着美国。在内战期间,南军中有11个州。 11个州中有10个州(占91%)维持死刑。北军有21个州。仍有五个(21%)判处死刑;其他16个已将其取缔或暂停使用。但是,如果从计算中删除北军中三个奴隶州(密苏里州,肯塔基州和马里兰州),则其余18个州中只有三个州(17%)有死刑。当您比较北军州(17%)与南军州(91%)的死刑率,而死囚牢房中的黑人的比率是其人口百分比的三倍以上,那肯定是有一种模式,不是吗?

In order to get good answers, you have to pose good questions. The essence of the problem in the South Carolina legislature is that they think the most important question is "How can executions be sped up?" rather than asking the question, "Should the state be executing anyone?"

Let's look at some facts. About 13 percent of the U.S. population is Black. About 41 percent of the people on death row in the U.S. are Black. Studies have repeatedly shown that the chance of a Black person being condemned to death by the judicial system is far higher than for a White person. The chance of a Black person being condemned for the death of a White person is vastly higher than that of a White person who is convicted of killing a Black person. The death penalty is, obviously, irreversible, yet an average of 3.9 death row inmates are exonerated and released from prison each year in the U.S.

The long shadow of racial prejudice continues to fall across the discussion of the death penalty in the U.S. During the Civil War, there were 11 states in the Confederacy. Ten of the 11 (91 percent) maintain the death penalty. There were 21 states on the Union side. Five (21 percent) still have the death penalty; the other 16 have either outlawed it or placed a moratorium on its use. If, however, you remove the three states in the union (Missouri, Kentucky and Maryland) that were slave states in 1860 from the calculation, then only three of the remaining 18 states (17 percent) have the death penalty. When you compare free states (17 percent) versus Confederate slave states (91 percent) with the death penalty and Black people on death row at a rate over three times higher than their percentage in the population, it sure seems like there's a pattern, doesn't it?

来自南卡罗来纳州的美国参议员和美国副总统约翰·C·卡尔洪(1782-1850)致力于捍卫制度种族主义和动产奴隶制并摧毁工会。他说:“没有发现任何文明的有色人种与建立和维持自由政府的种族一样。”

约翰·卡尔洪(John C. Calhoun)和南卡罗来纳州的悲惨和讨厌的遗产是,通过捍卫死刑对有色人种不成比例的死刑,并在其执行工具中增加了射击队,从而继续了该州对人类生命的攻击。

John C. Calhoun (1782-1850), U.S. senator from South Carolina and U.S. vice president, devoted his career to defending institutional racism and chattel slavery and destroying the union. He said, "There is no instance of any civilized colored race of any shade being found equal to the establishment and maintenance of free government."

​ It is the sad and unenviable legacy of John C. Calhoun and South Carolina to continue the state's assault upon human life by defending a death penalty that falls disproportionately on people of color and by adding firing squads to its tools for execution.
