So, a proportionate number of executions in 2017 would have been more like 17 white (not 13) and 3 black (not 8). We would need to track back over several years to see a full picture.

Erm, Hello? Of course it is about absolute numbers, I’ve just posted them with a credible source. Those are the numbers.
I’ve just highlighted data which totally blows this racist assertion that more blacks are executed. It’s not the case at all.
So far this year, 3 White, 1 Black has been executed. And these are folk who have been on death row for a long time.
