Anyone can be hateful, it's not restricted to white straight cis people.

Bit in bold, in the absolute most basic sense yes, but if you don't realise that there is an absolutely massive disparency in class and wealth based on race... You're not paying attention.

Sure, but the difficulties a poor black person would face are the same ones a poor white person would face.

Katie is hated for her life choices. It’s not a hate crime until she’s hated for something that she has no control over.

If someone kills themselves over a bit of name-calling, they're probably messed up anyway and should have been institutionalised or at least given proper help before that could be allowed to happen.

As seen here being investigated, losing work, receiving death and rape threats.

The issue is that people are vilified for their views, the views themselves aren't a valid thing to be an issue.
It's ridiculous that statements like "I don't want biological males in female spaces" are tarred with the same brush as "transpeople should be killed"

Yeah lock up the vulnerable. As long as hate merchants have all the freedom to abuse!

The law is right, hate speech is a crime.

Do you think someone who'd kill themself over words should be left unsupervised?

That's not true, if it were why the discrepancy in stop and search? There is perdjudice and stereotyping to factor in.

The extend of ignorance in this post makes any dialogue pointless.

Are financially disadvantaged black people statistically more likely to be carrying something they shouldn't than a financially disadvantaged white person?

[Livia]

Young black and ethnic men are more likely to be involved in knife crime both as perpetrators and as victims. That's a fact.

As stop and search has fallen, knife crime has risen. Speaks for itself.

That wasn't your point.. your point was the issues they face are the same, they are not as white poor don't have the added predudice and stereotyping do they?

It’s usually kids that kill themselves after being targeted by other kids.

I think you are talking sh1t.

All's well for the white poor. Well, that's a relief.

Being stopped and search isn't a huge hardship. If they just play along, they'll probably fotlrget all about it after an hour. S+S isn't exclusively a black issue, it happens to whites too, so they do face the same issues.

What do things across the whole world have to do with stabbings in London? What was his actual point, and does it show or suggest the crime rates have been misinterpreted?

Because those same indicators in London are prevalent in the favelas of brazil or the run down areas of Liverpool or Glasgow etc.
This is relevant because Glasgow actually had a worse knife Crime epidemic than London (per capita), and they addressed it successfully.

Eh, the way he presents it means we have to just accept black people are regularly thrown against the wall and over the car hood for no reason. I appreciate he was (probably) just using colourful language, but the pudding felt over-egged.

I take his point though - people might be pissed off at being needlessly searched, so try to run away, and get arrest for that. I'd be interested to see percentages of "black crime" which show evading arrest and knife/drug offences.

Thank god it was subtitled, his voice really pisses me off lol
