It is ironic that on Blog Against Racism Day, we also must talk about the 1,000th execution since the death penalty was reinstated in 1976. Being that it has been proven over and over again that the death penalty is incredibly biased an unfair to both minorities and the poor, one cannot separate the institutional racism that exists from the institution of capital punishment.

North Carolina will be responsible for the 1,000th person to be killed in an attempt to quench a thirst for vengeance tomorrow morning at 2:00 AM. Kenneth Lee Boyd will be dead in just over 12 hours from now.

And the world will not be a better place tomorrow morning after Humphries is killed.

And each and every one of us has blood on our hands.
