Clearly there are serious issues that need to be addressed. As I hinted at before, the violent crime statistics in London as regards young black males is shocking:
2009/10 figures
12% of Londons population is black or have a black parent.
67% caught for gun crimes were black.
54% of street robberies(actually proceeded against) were black males.
32% of sex offence suspects were black males.
Black females also figure highly in knife crimes(45%) and gun crimes(58%).
So it's pretty clear that we have a minority subculture that is responsible for a hugely disproportionate amount of crime...especially violent crime. So it's very much a topic for everybody to comment on. And it's not all about your struggle; it's also about the damage you are inflicting on the rest of society. Or do you think your struggle justifies that damage?

You know who's also responsible for a hugely disproportionate amount of crime? Poor people. You have to put those figures into the context of the socio-economic status of black people in this country
