How strange, what do you mean by this comment? I just visited the website of the beneficiary of the proceeds and they have this to say about the death penalty[1], for example: “African Americans make up 42% of people on death row and 34% of those executed, but only 13% of the population is Black”.
It sure sounds like racial bias to me! And I for one I’m glad the they chose this nonprofit organization which is doing excellent work.

- Huwyt_Nashi035 5y agoTaking homicide as an example (a crime more likely than most to result in a trip to death row), the most recently available data (2019) [1] shows that 56% of perpetrators were black. That's quite a feat for 13% of the population! If anything, that only 42% of those on death row are black may be indicative of a racial bias in their favour.
