Black Crime and Violence - Some Home Truths

We have discussions on this issue on radio and TV for hours every day. LBC spend more time discussing it than Talksport spend discussing football. But for all the chat with experts and experienced criminal thugs, some key home truths are not being highlighted. I wonder why?

America has similar problems, this is one commentator who was prepared to put his head above the parapet - most of his proposals apply to this country:

Re: Black Crime and Violence - Some Home Truths

Simply because people are more worried about being accused of racism than they are about addressing the real issues. It is exactly the same here in the UK where Black youth are killing each other in ever increasing numbers but no-one is addressing the elephant in the room. In reality it is not about ethnicity, but about culture. Some (by no means all) Black youngsters (and increasing numbers of alienated youth of all ethnicities) have become immersed in an appallingly inhuman trap of gang/drug/crime related culture where life is less important than "respect" (which isn't actually respect at all, but fear!). Education and hard work as a means to success in life are despised and the only avenues for success recognised by these kids are drugs, crime in general and violence.
Until this issue is recognised and addressed, nothing will change!

Re: Black Crime and Violence - Some Home Truths

I couldn't watch it all he was so wrong on so many points.

If he had his way we'd have black only buses etc. Why would black girls be any different to white ones he seems to have missed marriage isn't coming first before babies for many women any more. Doesn't matter if you are black or white.

What's driving the violence is poverty in many cases. Have a look at Miriam margolyse excellent series shown recently that holds many of the answers to all of this, in a far more caring less racist manner.

Mick what you say was echoed by a former gang member speaking on the radio last week. He said the wrong approach is being used to tackle what is predominantly a black gang problem. He had emailed Sadiq Khan with offers to help by bringing the reality of gang wars into schools but he didn't even receive a reply.

But isn't that poverty created by children not gaining anything from their education? Being poor doesn't mean you are not able to learn, but it does mean that teachers and parents are not letting children know that school is a place to learn....and if they don't make the effort they will be punished.

I agree that both black and white girls have illegitimate babies, but there again the more educated they are they will understand that providing for a child is not the countries job. Any girl who wants children should try keeping their legs crossed and their minds active during their teenage years. There is plenty of time to have children, so they should seek out a worthy father, for them, first!

Not everyone who is poor goes out and knifes people.

Re: Black Crime and Violence - Some Home Truths

I'd question whether there really is any poverty in this country compared with 50 years ago.
