Chavs: The Demonization of the Working Class by Owen Jones

The demonisation of the white working class

By contrast black culture
All that proves is what goes on with the White working class culture in your country. Can you prove that the Black culture isn't getting demonized?

P.S. Not everything you see on the internet is true.

Are you saying the video isn't true?

Most of you people are missing the big picture here. People lock their keys in cars sometimes and do this same method to unlock it. The big difference was the presence of the 2. The white guy was dressed clean cut and looked like your average joe , as they black male was dressed down to a " thug " appearance.

Most cops and people will react to a " thug " appearance , doesnt matter if you are black , white , hispanic , or asian.

Another problem is that most crimes in the USA are committed by the black community.

It also cannot be refuted that the "study" (which isn't a study at all, really) is flawed.

The video was painfully edited.

That cannot be refuted.

I'll stand by my assertion that the first police car was not a real police car. It was a retired black and white they staged as a drive by. It had no lights on which is not all that unusual, but it also had a very small emblem that was almost too small to even read. Nothing about the community. Police cars these days have large lettering. The second police car that showed up was not even shown, it just had the officer approaching. I looked at retired police cars recently that were going up for auction and they looked a lot like that first car. Police cars in service had the lights package and big lettering and emblems.
Heavily edited, poorly filmed, obviously staged and questionable validity makes this a pretty much pointless video.

Can you prove that this was painfully edited?

And furthermore, if one sticks to what I was talking about in the post you responded to, can any of it be refuted?

Yes, I can.

Just watch the video. If you cannot tell when a video was edited, then I am sorry.

And why SHOULD I stick to what you are talking about in regards to the OP's video?

Point out where the video was edited, in specifics.

And again, can anything I said in the last few posts be refuted? And I'm not talking the video either.
