I Hate Racism and Discrimination

I think the problem in the UK is the fact that it is only a small minority that make it difficult for blacks and other minorities in the UK .The press always cover the violence and drugs etc and this is what everyone sees .They dont mention the majority of blacks who are teachers , professors , mentors etc peace loving citizens who are disgusted with those who are giving the whole population a bad name .Because all people see is always the negative press they tar all minorities with the same brush .This has to change because it is just feeding racism and groups who are trying to push their own agenda of racism .

That is an interesting observation, I have thought of similar things. I once was able to get hold of some data on violent crimes from a specific area, in a group of cases of violent crime, face to face robberies, where the race of the offender is known, blacks committed the offense at a rate 4 times their representation in that community.

One of my thoughts was do that many blacks participate in violent crime or are the ones who do more prolific at it than others. It could be that a small group within the group made it difficult for others in the group. Problem was you could not look into it because people reject the fact that blacks representing 20 percent of the population committed 80 percent of the robberies. To think along those lines is racist so you are dismissed although that is what the data showed.
