Stabbings in London.

[Abdulmajid]

I bet my house, my car, my pension, my endowments, and my life that the offender is, let's say, not white.

Anybody wish to lay my bet off?

Well, may i just say to all you stereotypical narrow minded civillians, that if you actually took the time to look into the matter; just as i have done so; national statistics indicate that it is not just "Black" people that have the highest rate of knife crime. It is portrayed and publisied within the media to represent "Black"people; especially the teens to be the main culprits of not only knife crime; but any other form of violent crime. This bascially gives all of you judgemental characters the negative idealogy upon this race; as you are simply spoonfed by the media; and victims of the moral panic caused by tabloids in particular. Although in argument to this; i can say that some people of the black race do represent themsleves negatively and live up to the stereotype imprinted on them. Although this problem occurs in every race, but the racial stereotype that is imprinted on the "Black" race is not on them. May i also add that i am of mixed heritage; and being half black would you stereotypical people think i could write in such a way that i am currently doing so?...am i too expected to be carrying a knife? Or does gender also come into account? Obviously knife crime within London is a scaringly increasing epidemic, but what you need to realise is that it is not only the black race that is to blame. Any arguements you may have to this statement i have made i will be willing to hear your views and what you have to say.
