There are lies, damn lies, and statistics.
You can pretty much spin numbers anyway you want to "prove" something.

The only undesputed fact is that more white people are executed in the US than black.

Anything else is just speculation and guesswork - trying to start comparing it as percentages of this or that is just nonsense.

You may as well say it equals the percentage of people who eat marmite, so that must be the cause.

Crime rates are not equally spread across races, nor are they equally spread across the US - many states dont do executions at all.
