If blacks make up 13% of the total population in America, yet 42% of all death row inmates, then death row is most certainly disproportionately populated by blacks. No one is saying there are more black people on death row than whites, the key word is "disproportionate".

Another interesting tidbit: 80% of the time, the victims in Death Row cases are White.

Interesting and not surprising.
