The government is to blame for a rise in gang activity. When the economy is bad crime rates go up, when it's difficult to make a living honestly crime rates go up. In areas with a lot of gang activity it's difficult not to get caught up and dragged into it. I don't think anyone's 'blaming Britain' the government is to blame and if you can't differentiate between the government and Britain itself then that's another worrying issue in itself.

There's a focus on non-white gangs in the media because it riles up people like you who look for reasons to hate on people who aren't white. It's the same reason why Muslim responses against terrorism never get media attention because the media wants to go with the 'Muslims aren't going enough to prevent terrorism' angle because they want to create hysteria against them. Your prejudices are being used against you to suit the media's agenda. It's also funny that you keep banging on about PC when you are one of the most PC members on here but you don't realise it.

Nobody is attempting to give preferential treatment to a certain race, I'm just asking you to open your eyes and realise that the issue of gangs is not a race based issue but you won't do that since you feel the need to justify your hatred rather than accept the fact that you are quite simply racist. I'm talking about gang culture as a whole, I'm acknowledging all it's aspects but you only want to talk about the parts that don't involve white people because the reality of gang culture doesn't reflect the points you are trying to make.

You know something I'm sick of all that racist garbage. I have a lot of respect for many races including the Japanese, Chinese and many others. What I don't like is religious control freaks and cold blooded murders and in my opinion Islam promotes both those things. I cannot respect people who support or ignore that kind of rhetoric. What has that got to do with skin colour - it is you who is being simplistic and believing any criticism of a religion has to be about race as the majority of people who follow Islam are non-white. Get this it isn't about their skin colour it is about their thought processes and their behaviour.

All religions have a history of brutality but I am talking about today, in the modern world and I have no time for those that refuse to move on or hide behind religion as a way of hiding their prejudices. That is not to say everyone else is perfect, we are all far from it - but very few religions today promote such hate, commit such atrocity and openly promote the murder of so many. I cannot respect anyone who can follow such a religion.

As for the gang thing - According to you if you are struggling it is understandable that some may become part of a gang and commit crime. What kind of crime is accepatable to you then - rape and murder. Crime is increasingly becoming more violent and not just gang on gang , but against innocent victims. Being hard up is never any excuse.

And btw if you think me objecting to PC by pulling you up on and complaining about your own un-PC behaviour and obvious hypocrisy is PC rather than tit for tat then you clearly don't have a clue.
