London had the highest proportion of lone parent families in the UK in 2019, according to the Office for National Statistics.

[Police are appealing for information
after Sasha Johnson, 27, was found
with life-threatening injuries in Southwark
at about 3am on Sunday morning.
In a statement on its Facebook page,
the Taking The Initiative Party,
a new political group she was
part of, said: "It is with great sadness that we
inform you that our own Sasha Johnson
has sustained a gunshot wound to her head.]

…he makes so much sense and I’m inclined to agree with much of what he’s says…it’s that dismissing of certain crimes when committed by ‘black’ but when the same crimes are committed by ‘white’ then reasons have to be looked at…why is that…?…’black knife/gun crime’ is dismissed as such and therefore no looking into reasons is necessary with areas of more violence…

Well yeah exactly, it's dismissing it as a crime linked to skin colour which is just not true as we've seen it happen elsewhere with predominately white people, then though they actually looked at what was causing young people to turn to crime and gangs and really helped solve the problem (or at least lessen it)

…that’s the only way to hope for any progression, is to look at ‘why’ and ask questions and that’s been proven as you say in areas that seem to be more solving of violent crime issues …a skin colour does not cause a crime to be committed…as he said in the vid, if that were the cases then his grandmother’s skin tone was darker than others who have committed crime….so how does that sit and be explained …?…it’s very saddening that some sections/communities etc seem to merit more in depth research and solving, which is actually proving to have real impact and others don’t…all they’re meriting is a dismissal of ‘black crime being the problem…’….a dismissive throwaway …

The statistics don't even support the black on black crime myth, which is only ever used for one reason.

In fact white victims of homicide are far more likely to be killed by another white person than black victims are to be killed by a black person, Ministry of Justice data reveals.


Figures on the ethnicity of the suspect are not given on a local level, but national figures show that of the white people killed between 2009/10 and 2017/18, 92 percent were thought to have been killed by another white person and just 2 percent by a black person.

In comparison, of the black people killed during that time, just over half - at 55 per cent - were killed by another black person, and 33 percent by a white person.

This reveals that white-on-white violent crime is much more prevalent than black-on-black violent crime, despite rarely being talked about in the same way.

Because it's just called crime then, funnily enough :think:

Can you imagine the uproar if something was referred to as a ‘Jewish crime’? Lord above, I can’t deal with this place sometimes, it’s horrific

…Sasha Johnson’s two children must be very young as she’s only 27yrs old…?….

Khan's London

:skull:

I've seen you in other threads pretending to care about black mothers, and yet here you are, using the shooting of a young black mother to wheel out your one routine.

Crime is crime and race doesn't come into it but if you feel the need to call something a black crime then I am sorry you are racist its literally the same energy of calling all Muslims terrorists when you could just call it a crime

Surgery has gone well, so that is good news

…drill music isn’t a skin colour thing either and has been around for many years…this is an Irish artist..(…Irish Drill is very popular…)..he was featured on Jools Holland…his music is very powerful…






.

its not the skin colour (not sure why you made that assumption) its the lyrics and what it represents

the killer thug who pulled the trigger could be white or black

…so did you delete your post referencing drill music and ‘you couldn’t make it up’ because it apparently did have a reference …no worries, it’ll be in the deletion bin I’m sure….I have no idea why you would do that but hey ho….how silly….

People never get tired of demonising black people huh?

…debating/discussing these very serious topics and very serious issues used to be just that, discussing them seriously…and not these bizarre games that it seems to have become now…

Poor lass.
Hope she makes a full recovery.

I saw it Ammi and I'm sure others did too. Could be a mod deletion though?

…yeah that’s true, Annie…I didn’t think of that in my confusion….apologies LT if that wasn’t your own deletion….

She has had Surgery on her head.

She is High Profile

Yes he is Busy getting Transport improved.

Well, if you referred to a Jewish crime, it'd be untrue. Wouldn't it. According to the same set of statistic to which I refer.

This is not about me insulting black people however much you and other want to think that. You can all back each other up all you want, gun and knife crime is predominantly a black crime, there's no getting away from it. I am not saying this because I'm a racist, I'm saying this because it needs addressing; because those who die from gun and knife crime are also predominantly black and that is just not acceptable. And that's never going to be addressed until people stop having a meltdown when race is mentioned.

Lord above, I can't deal with this place sometimes either.
