The Black Lives Matter movement has called for the abolition of capital punishment in response to what it calls “the war against Black people” and “Black communities.” This article defends the two central contentions in the movement’s abolitionist stance: first, that US capital punishment practices represent a wrong to black communities rather than simply a wrong to particular black capital defendants or particular black victims of murder, and second, that the most defensible remedy for this wrong is the abolition of the death penalty.

黑人的命也是命和废除死刑的呼吁

Black Lives Matter 运动呼吁废除死刑，以回应所谓的“针对黑人的战争”和“黑人社区”。这篇文章捍卫了该运动废奴主义立场中的两个核心论点：第一，美国死刑做法是对黑人社区的一种错误，而不仅仅是对特定黑人死刑被告或特定黑人谋杀受害者的错误，其次，最有道理的对这一错误的补救措施是废除死刑。
