There's more of them now and the legal system lets them do whatever they want with minimal repercussions. Things are not the same.
Holy waste pellets! It's no wonder the Turner Diaries got written in the 1970s!
> Following the handing down of death sentences to the defendants, the NAACP and Amnesty International campaigned to commute Pierre and Andrews' death sentences.[27] The NAACP demanded that Pierre and Andrews' death sentences should be revoked because of racial bias at the trial. They noted that the defendants were both black, and the victims and jury were all white. According to Amnesty International, the sole black member of the jury pool was stricken peremptorily by the prosecution during jury selection;[28] however, it was revealed that the juror was dismissed because he was a law-enforcement officer who personally knew "just about everyone tied to the case."[29]
> Andrews also accused the judicial system of racism following the NAACP's request for reduced sentences. In an interview with USA Today, he claimed that he had never intended to kill anyone.
> After Pierre's execution, a petition for a stay of Andrews' execution was submitted to the Inter-American Commission on Human Rights.[30] The Inter-American Commission petition alleged that a hand-written note, "hang the niggers," had been found in the jury area during a recess, and that the judge had refused a request for a mistrial and a right to question jurors concerning the note. The fate of the physical note itself is unknown. Despite these appeals, both death sentences were upheld.[31] In December 1996, the Inter-American Commission found that the United States had violated its international obligations by denying William Andrews a trial free from racial discrimination.[30]
