This article claims that ~99% of prisoners executed by Ohio are African American. One only need to look at the mug shots of executed inmates to see that this number is made up. There is racial inequality in the application of the death penalty, but this un-cited statistic is wrong, so I am deleting it.

There is "racial inequality" in the COMMISSION of violent crime. The application of the death penalty reflects this inequality. The FBI's Uniform Crime Report demonstrates this beyond doubt.
