We know in the U.S that Blacks are 12% of the pop. but responcible for over half the violent crime (astounding - how much does the White majority actually commit?) We can blame slavery, racism, blah blah for Blacks committing the majority of murder and such but in the U.K who is to blame?


Violent inner-city crime, the figures, and a question of race - Telegraph

Quote:
They show that among those proceeded against for street crimes, 54 per cent were black; for robbery, 59 per cent; and for gun crimes, 67 per cent. Street crimes include muggings, assault with intent to rob and snatching property.
Just over 12 per cent of London’s 7.5 million population is black, including those of mixed black and white parentage, while 69 per cent is white, according to the Office for National Statistics.
Is there any area where a Black minority is not responsible for a disproportional amount of violent crime?

I'd be willing to bet that the UK suffers from the same issue the US does because black fathers are not stepping up to the plate and being, well, fathers.

If there are no positive role models, and there is a thug culture in music and television to take its place, this is what you end up with.

It is no surprise, and it will only get worse with the dilapidation of morals within our media outlets. There needs to be an internal change within the culture. It has nothing to do with "slavery". There is simply a loss of respect amongst the younger crowd.

It's all because of that history of slavery and oppression. Reperations will make it all better...

???WTF???The U.K. didn't have slavery? Read more world history. The U.K. maintained slavery in Jamaica, Trinidad/Tobago and a number of other Caribbean Islands. The descendants of those slaves are the blacks that live in British ghettoes now. JUST as the blacks that live in American ghettoes are the descendants of the former slaves in the American slave states. No difference. FAIL thread.

London is an extremely expensive and competitive place, If you can't make it there in a regular way, you turn to crime. I have been to London, some parts of town look horrible.

Do you have statistics for more affordable places such as Bristol, Birmingham or Sheffield, let alone small cities and towns?

Truth is, slavery has nothing to do with it. It is something called personal responsability. The ones doing the crimes have none.

Why are people even giving this thread respectful input. It may have been a valid question if the op was truly looking for answers and input, however when someone has a pattern of posting racist comments and making idiotic statements, I believe the agenda id one of mainly attempting to create conflict and strife and to spread silly backward thinking drivel that the "wn" attempt to push off as fact.

easier access to handouts (food stamps, subsidized housing, etc), greater ease in building gangs and defending ones dilapidated neighborhood and turf.

furthermore, most blacks seem to expect the government to provide everything to them which can be done easier in urban areas.


They want nothing to do with Whites except when it comes to our technology, advancements, etc. What's weird is many Blacks don't realize the tribal societies they would be living if it wasn't for the white people they hate.

how would South Africa look if it didn't have a history of White immigration and leadership?

Was there a wheel, written language, etc before Whites arrived? Both the Xhosa and the Zulu were still living tribal societies and in the case of the Zulu very brutal.

Really does anybody not see this for what it is!!!

I had seen his post count, too. There are several people like that who just seem to register in order to cause trouble. Probably they have grown bored on stormfront as there everybody thinks the same way anyway
Still, as long as the thread is not closed or deleted, I don't want it to remain uncontested. That could leave the wrong impression...

Truth is, slavery has everything to do with it. This is evidenced by the fact that migrant Africans and expatriate African communities that do not have slavery's legacies do not have as great an inclusion in ant-social behavior. Black skin, however, is in universal in its effect on non-black people. Non-violent black individuals are treated no differently than a bona fide thug with an extensive criminal history. Housing, employment and healthcare options are substandard for all who have black skin. This is at its most egregious in the United States followed by Great Britain and tapering as one moves through the rest of Europe. South America has its issues with black skinned people. However, it has been noted that there are Caribbean Islands: Barbados, Bermuda, Caymans, others where violent crime is low. It would appear that separation from whites is very restorative for the black psyche. Don't bother trying to counter by citing Africa. Africa was overrun with whites and their corrosive influence on less techically developed cultures. The Anglo-Saxon has been the single most destructive force on the planet. The Anglo-Saxon can and will destroy life on this planet and will probably accomplish it within three more generations. KInd of puts some urban black on black crime into perspective, doesn't it??
