70.34 percent of all people on Texas's Death Row are non-white. Out of all the executions in Texas since 1982, no white person has ever been executed soley for the murder of an African-American. On Sept 10, 2003 Texas executed a white man for the murder of his white wife and a black female convenience store clerk. Of course, African-Americans are often sentenced to die in Texas for killing white people. For example, Napoleon Beazley, an African-American juvenile, was sentenced to death by an all-white jury for killing a white man. The last seven juvenile offenders executed in Texas since 1998 were all African-Americans who committed their offenses at the age of 17.

• Even though blacks and whites are murder victims in nearly equal numbers of crimes, 80% of people executed since the death penalty was reinstated have been executed for murders involving white victims.
• More than 20% of black defendants who have been executed were convicted by all-white juries.
