Comment on Dying While Black: An Examination of Race and the California Death Penalty by Luis A. Garcia

Luis A. Garcia — Mon, 29 Jun 2009 09:41:50 +0000

California should do an Ethnic Justice Act because the word Race is a white supremacist coined term that they used to categorize all colonized peoples for their own ends. The Law has to catch up with the evolution of society to discard the use of Race in order to not reify a reactionary intellectual construct. While Racism is an actual practice and all too real, the category of Race itself is not a real one.

Mandating such a law will provide accurate statistical data on the application of the death penalty to all ethnicity’s in the California. Instead of a flawed one of racial or latinoized or color coded mish mashed classification of all ethnicity’s represented by peoples of the whole continent in the western hemisphere, other wise known as the Americas and beyond to all the world’s ethnicity’s present in California.

Hawai`i eliminated the death penalty more than a generation ago. Result? The prisons are full of Hawaiians and Pacific Islanders. So just eliminating the death penalty is not very effective without more profound social changes. Unless you’re one of the guys in prison instead of dead.
