"Or white, or brown, and especially english!!!
Give me a brake.

It was a joke, Beano reader.

If I thought like you, then I would ask you if you still fought dragons in your shiny suit of armor"

This article appeared in (yes you guessed it) The guardian in September 2000, the english stopped wearing shiny armour a while before that:
"The US justice department has confirmed what critics of capital punishment have claimed for years - that the chance of the death penalty being imposed depends largely on the defendant's skin colour and on where the trial is held.
According to leaks published in the New York Times yesterday, a survey ordered by the attorney general, Janet Reno, found that in 75% of the cases in which a federal prosecutor had sought the death penalty in the past five years, the defendant was from a minority. Black defendants accounted for more than half the death penalty cases."

But yet the majority of inmates on death row are white! Odd?!
And your article is biased and not complete.
