I mean, if you know about them, then what you are saying is 50% of wrongful convictions that are overturned are black men. Assuming the wrongful convictions are 10% black men, 84% white men, 3% black women and 1% white women - the exonerations heavily favor black men.

i just picked those numbers because (most recent numbers i have seen) African Americans are 13% of the population, and women have a get out of jail free card, moreso white ones. So if things were on the up and up they would be 13% of wrongful convictions.

editing to add -

and SOME of the exonerations must be false, setting guilty people free. At least SOME of them were achieved through bribery, incompetency or luck. At least a few.

NOBODY has accurate numbers on wrongful convictions lol. Exonerations yes, wrongful convictions no.
