Given the demographics of Texas, if there are 5 members it should be 3 white and 2 hispanic since the blacks are only 12% of the population while hispanics are 35%
Ha, wha? The whole country is about 12% black. I guess they’re OUT! No rep fellas, you ain’t hit the quota!
Seriously, if there were 8-10 people on the pardon board then based off of the percentages they should have one.
And yet, blacks make up 33.4% of the prison population across the state. How about someone on the parole board who might possibly, remotely understand the cultural circumstances of being a hated minority in Texas? I know, I know, too much common sense for Texas.
