Re: Steven Lawrence

Will there be a National day of commemoration for Ben Kinsella, murdered by a black man?

Maybe you are forgetting that Kinsella's three killers were quickly brought to justice and imprisoned.
Whereas because of racism by the police the killers were allowed to get away with Stephen Lawrence's murder and it took years and only then by the Daily Mail naming them were they tried.
Even then only two of the five were convicted and jailed.

The persistent abuse of children, especially boys, in homes & residential schools by church leaders, social workers, at least one MP, and other figures of authority, and was similarly suppressed for years

The abuse carried on under their own roof by Jimmy Savile, Rolf Harris, and others; also suppressed

The barbaric murders carried out on our streets by Muslims

What's that, you don't think it will happen? Me neither
Yes, these have been reported, but with nothing like the thoroughness or enthusiasm that the BBC has devoted to the Stephen Lawrence case

And now we have the Windrush Affair, which seems to have had blanket coverage for weeks. I'll bet the BBC could hardly believe their luck or contain their joy, for just as the Stephen Lawrence case was starting to run out of steam, here is something new for them to beat Whitey with

Why, if I was a cynic I might get the impression that the BBC is not interested in crime unless it is carried out against black people

I have seen a lot of air time given to those cases

So what is the point of a commemoration day? Is it to remember Steven Lawrence or to remember racism in the police force?
I have no doubt there was racism in the police force and probably still is.

I suspect that they hope it will be psychological reminder that racism in the police force will be seriously punished, and I think the TV programme reminded many of what happened.
I don't think Stephen could have been saved, but if he had been my son I would have wanted justice asap, and his parents didn't get that for 20 years.... just because the police were easily bribed and had racist ideas.

The 2 who were convicted have to serve a minimum of 15 years, Stephens parents had to wait longer than that to establish that their innocent son had been murdered by evil hooligans in a racist attack!

Totally agree. The only racism these days in the UK is against the white indigenous Brit.

Rotherham et al is demonstrable proof.
