You murder somebody in Texas, and we’ll murder you right back.

The headline is wrong.

A black man wasn’t executed.

A Murderer was executed: He just happened to be black.

Execution is not unjust-—Murder is.

Texas Has Executed Another Black Man.

Texas has executed another black man because another black man executed another human being. It's a simple as that.

Saw an interesting stat on FOX news over the weekend.

1) Blacks makeup 13% of the national population.

2) Blacks commit 75% of all murders in the US.

3) 93% of all blacks murdered in the US are murdered by other blacks.

Interesting data. Somebody call Al and jessie.

A murderer is a murderer is a murderer. Race doesn't enter into it.

So....it was an African American was it?

No, it was nothing more than an animal that murdered someone and paid the price.

I guess the title should have read “murdering-American” instead of the word “black” or “African-American” to be correct.

Re: Ross was executed for the slayings of Douglas Birdsall, 53, the associate dean of libraries at Texas Tech University, and Viola Ross McVade. McVade was the sister of Ross' girlfriend and was not related to the convicted killer.

Funny, nothing was said about Ross' victims: Douglas Birdsall and Viola McVade. Douglas Birdsall was White and Viola McVade was Black.

From http://urbangrounds.com/2013/07/execution-ross-vaughn/:

"Prosecutors say the murders took place because of an ongoing argument between Ross and McVade, who was his girlfriend’s sister. Birdsall, the Associate Dean of Libraries at Texas Tech University, was killed because he was with McVade, whom he had met that night. Unfortunately for Birdsall, his affinity for street prostitutes put him in the wrong place at the wrong time that night.

"The evidence is legally and factually sufficient to support appellant’s conviction. The murders occurred in an alley very near appellant’s apartment. Appellant threatened Viola with violence not long before she was murdered. Shortly before the murders, appellant told Liza to leave appellant’s apartment because he did not want her there in case anything happened. Liza also saw appellant wearing latex gloves, and a latex glove tip containing appellant’s DNA and Birdsall’s blood was found inside Birdsall’s car. Birdsall’s blood was also on appellant’s sweatshirt. Appellant incriminated himself when the police asked him about the murder weapon, and he incriminated himself to his mother."

Where is Reverend Al to tell us the truth?

The Texas Dept of Corrections maintains a rather comprehensive website on death row prisoners.Among the thing that can be found on it are the last statements of those about to be executed.Some don't make a last statement and some,as expected,use it to proclaim their innocence and/or to declare how barbaric the DP is.But a surprising number (surprising to *me* at least) use it to acknowledge their guilt and express remorse for what they've done.

“Where is Reverend Al to tell us the truth?”

Facts and truth are now immaterial.

What counts is tribal self-identification, and supporting your perceived tribal members no matter how heinous the crime.

I don’t think our founders ever envisioned how balkanized we have become...

This was the 8th African American executed this year in Texas

WHEN are we going to stop with the "african american" nonsense? None of these people were born in africa and I'm sure the ones born within the last 20 years have no damn clue where africa is nor can they find it on a map. No other race uses the "hyphenated" american. When was the last time you heard "a german-american, 5'9" tall wearing a yellow shirt" - "an irish-american murdered his wife", etc etc etc. All other races are referred to as either "a white male" "an hispanic woman" - what happened to "a black male"? I'm sick of this hyphenated crap!
