    Jamaile Morally Penny to a pound he's afro-caribbean.
    If he is there'll be no "Steven Lawrence" type enquiry about this of course.

    Why should there be? Is there any suggestion that the police or judicial system have acted improperly in this case?

    2 more men charged

    Adrian Thomas, 19, of south east London and Indrit Krasniqi, 18, of west London, were charged on Saturday night










    The most high profile murders in Britain in the last 10 years have been the Steven Lawrence murder in S. London, the Damilola Taylor murder in Peckham, again in S. London, the Victoria Climbié case in E. London and the drive by shootings of Charlene Ellis and Letisha Shakespeare in Birmingham.
    In all cases the victims were black, in 3 of the 4 cases the perpetrators were also black or other ethnic minority, in 3 of the 4 cases there were expensive enquiries into how society was to blame and in the fourth there were allegations that if white people were the victims of gun crime that the police would be taking it more seriously.

    The enquiry I'd like is into high level of serious crime among certain ethnic minorities with a view to doing something about it on a targeted basis. It might also come to conclusions about the responsibilities of certain sections of society. It might point fingers where blame actually lies rather than castigating taxpayers for not digging deeper than they already do to support non-contributors.
    So if such an enquiry concluded that, say, black people were n times more likely than whites to be car thieves then it would be reasonable for police to stop black motorists n times more often than white drivers for spot checks.
    Ditto for concealed weapons, drugs etc.

    You're right Smiffy, I should have said:
    3 of the most high profile murdercases in Britain in the last 10 years have been...

    rather than

    The most high profile murders in Britain in the last 10 years have been...


    Point of information:

    In 2001 census results, 2% of the population of the UK described themselves as Black Caribbean, Black African or Black Other.

    go on then TheBanned, I'll bite: why do you believe a disproportionately high number of the UK's recent most high-profile murders have involved black people?

    Why I believe it is not important, is it?

    However the crime statistics in the UK, just like in the US bear out the high rates of crime including murder committed by black people. Also the crime rates in black countries tend to be higher than non-black countries.

    Yes, and...? Do you believe that's because of cultural factors, economic factors, or because black people are inherently violent?

    Answer me one question first.
    Do you dispute the fact that black societies tend to have more crime and that the black sections of other societies do too?

    Obviously it'd be a huge sweeping statement for me to say that black societies tend to have more crime, without first having seen a series of scientific studies concluding that. However, for the sake of debate, I will say that if such studies were conducted, I'd guess that the world's predominately black states, and the black sections of other states, probably do have higher crime rates than the average crime rate.
