Two of the laziest and lowest performing European countries. Part of what is referred to is the PIIGS of Europe--Portugal, Italy, Ireland, Greece and Spain. Useless lazy socialist beggar states.

Since the population stats are about 6 to 1, that means a random black person is twice as likely to commit a hate crime as a white person.

FBI — Table 3

So, you might want to be more inclusive in the future when complaining about racism and hatecrimes.

That's all.
Nice deflection! I'm not talking about percentages here, neither am I discussing how likely a group is to commit a crime. I'm talking about the total raw numbers my friend! You can make an argument about likely hoods, percentages, and what ifs, but just not in relation to my point...

Regarding your opinion of me being "more inclusive" in regards to complaints or racism & hate crimes. What the heck are you talking about? I'm against all racism and hate crimes, not just white supremacy! That being the case, I'm not naive enough to believe each group is equally racist... There's history and data that paints a total different picture...

His math and methods are valid. You do yourself a disservice to deny it.

These guys are racists - but moreover they're football hooligans, if it had been an obviously gay guy, or some posh looking bloke, or pretty much anyone they felt they could push around it would have been the same.

WaldoKitty, what point are you trying to make? Or are you just here to be a cheerleader & cosign? If I'm wrong what specifically is incorrect?

What are those "natural" faults, foibles and defects? Please educate me.

Your point is not proven.
You don't think a bunch of English football supporters could be "inbred white supremacist trash"?

You don't know much about England, do you?

Whites did start rasism in America. The history proves it.

  1. Chelsea FC is very multicultural team along with their supporters. Your claim is nonsense.
  2. Apparently much more than you.
