so jon if you were a copper and saw a black bloke, on his own, hanging around a street corner, would you turn a blind eye to it because he's black? or would you rather take the chance and do a search.


I think this statement stands on its own *shrug*

whats wrong with that? that isnt saying anything racist at all all im saying is people hanging around after dark on corners, black or white or f***ing martian is gonna seem suspicious. the police with the new laws are gonna be able to take a chance and do searches on everyone, if they find something on someone, it'll prove that that law is working nevermind colour

You didn't mention anything about after dark. You didn't mention anything about white or "f***ing martian."

You said "a black bloke, on his own, hanging around a street corner." The clear and obvious implication is that he's more suspicious because he's black.

maybe in your eyes but not mine, the statement i mean. it isnt racist at all. id like to think that if a white bloke was doing the same the police would search them to. and yeah in my mind i was thinking about after dark cuz its suspicious, probably shoulda mentioned that my bad

the US and the UK are different. im pretty sure rockdave didn't make that connection. america has a very different mindset in racism, black and south americans are the foremost victims.

The problem with racial profiling is....

The media.

They only report black kids stabing black kids so they can pass it off as gang warfare, so if that is all that the public hear about, the government will want to be seen to act on it. Now they can stop and search who they want and will prolly find more knives and such like on black and white kids, but when it comes down to reporting it the media will say that the police are racist if they dont find any knives and if the police do find wepons and make the UK a safer place the media will screw with the stats to make it look like more black and asian kids were stoped and label it a cracking down on the gangs.
Of course, black and aisan kids are old school now, the papers are more interested in eastern europian gangs now so the police may focus on them instead

I love living in the US.

The President has no legal authority to order this because it violates our Constitutionally protected rights.

It must be weird living in a place that has no such protection for its citizens.


It's called the USA. OK, so does it feel weird??? You are living it.
There is no protection from the constitution, it has been rescinded since 9/11
