“We want an immediate end to the death penalty…”

-Pt. 8 of The New Black Panther Party’s 10 Pt. Platform

  The New Black Panther Party is opposed to the death penalty…

because in many cases, Black people are still not being tried by juries of their peers,

especially when facing the death penalty for killing someone white;

 because white people almost never get the death penalty when convicted of killing Black people;

because Black people almost always get the death when convicted of killing white people;

because the rich almost never get the death penalty;

because most people who get tried with capital murder are Black, Latino and white, and are too poor to pay for good lawyers;

because the 6th amendment right to effective counsel is now a damn joke if you are poor and facing the death penalty;

because innocent people have been put to death, and those innocent people have been Black and Latino;

because Bill Clinton took us back to State’s Rights on the death penalty;

because the state has and will continue to use the death penalty to silence dissent…

witness the lynching of Ziyon Yisrayael,

and the current efforts to lynch Mumia Abu-Jamal and Imam Jamil Abdullah Al-Amin;…

because in the dawn of the 21st century, the Black man still has no rights that the white man is bound to respect!;…

because the death penalty is cruel and unusual punishment;

because in the end, the death penalty is backwards and barbaric as hell, even though we have a whole of list of slimy, no good bastards, of proven murderous enemies of the race who we would love to send straight to hell!…
