it depends: if you are looking at the RACE factor then ok, but if you are looking at the raw data, then they dont appear to be targets as some might think. I guess it makes a difference which point you are trying to make, whether there are more Blacks on Death Row or more Blacks compared to their proportion of the total population.
I personally dont see why race needs to be brought into this
ETA: sparky said it better
