I did not need to use percentages because I used actual total figures, percentages is irrelevant.
More White people have been executed than blacks over the last 8 years.

That is not what is being talked about, the assertion was more blacks are being executed than whites and that somehow, there is a racist affirmation being placed in the justice system. The statistics speak for themselves on the wikipedia pages.
In 2017, 2016, 2015, 2013, 2012 and 2011. More Whites were executed as per the death penalty, I do not need percentages or fractions, the numbers speak for themselves.
