Street Crime Live - Did you notice....
This prgramme was on Channel 5 life.
The lasting thought I had of this programe was that it really centred on black people. all the crimes shown in the programme and all the talk around the 171 teenage gangs operating within London, was to do with black people.
The 33 or so teenagers killed this year in London, all bar 3 were black. So my comment is that this programme suggested, to me, that a majority of gang and street crimes involve black people.
Now this then made me think, of poeople moaning that the met were stopping more black people in the street than others. This programme, I think, showed why.
Now everyone commits crimes, white, blacks etc etc. But this prgramme really made think "are you saying that crime is mainly brought upon by black people?" Were they trying to portray this in a discrete way?
For the record I am a white male, so I am not moaning about racism, it is just something that I noticed.
