This argument about more Blacks vs Whites being executed is like saying there is more red apples collected.
The reality is.... You still have more Green apples, in the basket that have been collected.

The percentages matter if you're looking into if something is over-represented or not.
If you don't agree with that then nothing matters. You could make all sorts of irrelevant statements. Find the smallest country in the world and say they have the best cancer care because fewer people die of cancer there than in China. It's why GDP is not measured in absolute terms irrespective of anyone's personal opinion on 'percentages'.
