Stop and Search

[001steven]

I was just watching the news and they were saying that the police will be doing more stop and search... BUT now people of ethnic background ARE moaning that Black people will be stopped more and now they are moaning..IMO that is racist just because they are black doesnt mean they cant be searched for knives and guns etc This country and people of ethnic background think they rule the placewe ahould all be treated equally.

We should all be treated the same. It shouldn't matter what the colour of our skin is.

It would take many words, sentences, paragraphs, minutes and hours to type the long list of reasons and evidence that black people are treated better than white people in todays day and age, in our country..
And the fact they get away with more.

They're all things that have been discussed ten thousand times over and then some, yet nothing will ever change because the only way to correct it is through the government/politics etc.

And nobody will speak up about it out of risk of being labelled a racist if they do, so we're all stuck with the problem im afraid.

^ its a bit farfetched for you to say that considering you're not black and so could never comprehend first-hand. you can say they're treated better but thats your perception completely and its not the most reliable one either. i'm not of an ethnic background but i have many friends who are and as an example they have to put up with loads (such as abuse shouted) when they go out etc. can't say i experience the same. its not a debatable subject for a load of complex reasons.

and why is it racist that black people think they'll be searched more. for obvious reasons they think that - cos of a small minority of extremists who have tainted the reputation. as shorty says we should all be treated the same then thats fair. sadly who knows when that will actually happen.

white people get done for racisim all the time when a black person is killed by a white person when ITS not racist..and thats true look at the case surrounding that white lad 16 got killed by 5 or 8 black boys and it wasnt classed as racist and his mum said that it was and the police said 'he was in the wrong place at the wrong time' NOW if it was the other way round there would be chaos its all DOWN to Labour and sadly there are RAcists out here who do National Front and vote BNP fact
