AJ brings up a great point.
The average black man's life is much more automatically expendable than the average white man's in lots of (if not all) scenarios.
Bernie Madoff comes to mind. Here is a man who bilked a crapload of people out of Billions of dollars - He's in prison. Although his crime wasn't necessarily a violent one, I think of all the people who were close to suicide because of what he did.
How about Dick Cheney, who shot his friend during a hunting "accident". Was he ever punished for that?
What about Phil Spector? How many people did he kill before his butt was finally sent to prison?
Don't even get me started on the war crimes of George W. Bush.
