The obvious answer would be more white individuals were convicted of a murder charge that constituted the death penalty.

There ere are more whites on death row. The percentage of death row inmates is only slightly higher for whites compared to blacks. Figures are shown on the website: deathpenaltyinfo.org

Also you will note race is often a factor when determining whether or not to apply the penalty. Where the death penalty sentence for minorities is often an automatic descrimination du jure appeal.
