Is there evidence to say this happens any more than with working class white kids

Referring only to the USA, where the racial problems really arm.

Their dropout rates are obviously relatively high because the systems are failing them, and schools in their neighbourhoods should be improved. Proper investment should be given to those communities, obviously.

We could do so much more in the UK to help our 'own'.

Not sure what this actually means. The idea of black on black violence stems from racial superiority, empire, and fear. To label any crime as a race is an extremely slippery slope.

Without repeating myself continuously on this matter, there is more of a correlation between being expelled from school and ending up in prison. What about mixed race? Who do they come under, and is a black person twice as likely as someone who is half white to commit violence on another black person?

It's all socioeconomic. There were gangs of white people committing the same violence on other white gangs for centuries.

What do you mean by empire?

A hangover from our former empire and our dismissal of colonies, it's peoples, and their inferiorities. I'm not saying we all still think the way our ancestors did, but it's a hangover.

Yes you may be but that shouldn't mean others can't question the response from the UK govt over other governments in Europe.
