The fact you mention the person colour makes you a racist Pete.

Clearly that isn't a contingent fact because race can be said to have everything to do with crimes sometime i.e racial hate crimes.

Is the veil finally lifted from our eyes - could Pete in reality be none other than celeb un-PC historian David Starkey?

Not sure you should use the phrases 'black people' and 'string them up' in the same passage. Unless you are from the deep south and like wearing pillow cases on your head

Hi

Just my thought on the subject, it shouldnt matter about skin colour and in most cases in the UK skin colour means nothing now, question is why in most cases were the looters and rioters black ??

Im not saying there wasnt any white, asian or any other colour involved but in most cases and the majority of ppl rioting were black/mixed race youths.......

Not in any way been racial just pointing out the facts and wondered why that was the case.....

You shouldn't have to justify asking the question why most of the rioters were black .... I know there is a fear of being accused as a racist - but that shouldn't stop open and frank discussion.

It probably has something to do with the fact that a significant proportion of blacks have that kind of gang culture, a culture where they feel vitimised - so, want to hit back .... if that means getting a new 50" Plasma as a consequence all the better!

I totally agree with you pslewis re having to justify the question but through fear of been called a racist at the mention of black, Indian, Pakistani, Polish etc etc I feel it has to be done just incase you hear those words....... you have offended me..... I wasnt meaning to offend just talk openly about he issue.

I thought it was because the majority of the population in those areas are black?

Good point well made.... but to counter it why was it only areas where the majority of the population are black that there was trouble ?
