As much as I hate racism and detest people who hold prejudice against another person based on their skin colour, I disagree with you when you say "Let all racists die.." Firstly, if someone wants to hate another person for such a dumb reason, they can do. We cannot make it illegal to hold an opinion, regardless of how ridiculous it is. If the racist person chooses to act on their hatred and, say, murder a member of another race, then in that case the murderer should be killed.
Also, some people have understandable reasons for being racist. If a female member of your family was raped by a gang of black men, would you ever be able to look at another black person the same way? As much as I don't like to say it, if something like that were to happen to someone I knew, I'd probably end up becoming the next Hitler or something.
Save the electric chair for all the rapists, murderers and paedophiles.
