Knife Culture

[Alan2]

No matter which way I look at this problem, the same little word keeps cropping up.... "BLACK" ... call me what you wish, I am only stating the facts

[undercovers]

i fail to see any "facts" whatsoever in your post - what exactly is your question

[Alan2]

My question is.. Why is it that the majority of stabbings in London are committed by [edited by AB]

[Goodsoulette]

Oh how i am cringing.

[johnlambert]

so where are these facts then Alan2?

[jno]

you mean, like, [edited by AB]

[SaxyJag]

I do know what you mean, Alan, but I think it's more to do with the fact that the media are very keen to point out when a criminal is black, asian, an asylum seeker, a Gypsy etc. even though the fact has very little to with the case in question.

And please don't use the word 'bl*****es' - I find it highly offensive, and I'm not black.

[joko]

blackies??!!! you are either very stupid or very old.

lets see some verifiable facts then...

[mrrobbo15]

...i wudnt think thats a fair assesment of the knife culture......

blacks are no more likely to carry knivies than anyone else

personally i think its a low intelligence thing in every race and creed

[Drusilla1S]

On the very day the young footballer was stabbed to death, an Afghan man was stabbed in London by a gang of white racists who left him covered in an England flag. Did you conveniently miss that one in the paper???

[Alan2]

Yes I missed that one Drusilla, Care to tell me about it?

[noxlumos]

No matter which way I look at this ignorance problem, the same little thing keeps cropping up..."ILL INFORMED MORONIC STERORTYPERS TRYING TO WHIP UP HATRED TO FIT IN WITH THEIR OFFENSIVE PERSONAL VIEWS" call me what you wish Alan2, I am only stating facts ( something you seem to have problems with)

I read a more detailed article in The London Evening Standard.

Sorry Alan, i've reported your post that refers to black people as 'bl******ies, I'm not black, but I felt offended by it, and I imagine the black people on this site would be as well.

[inej]

What a lovely person you are Alan2 . What are you doing promoting for the bnp, in different areas knife attacks are carried out by all different races, look at the school boy who was stabbed a couple of years ago in the classroom by another lad Look at yobbos who go and play up at football matches , stabbings caused by white men, Get a life .

[jno]

now that the offensive word has been reported, someone should probably report my sarcastic response too (4th one down), as it is equally offensive only in a more 18th-century way. No reason for it to stay here but I can't remove it myself.

[lindapinda]

Another little troll...boring!!

[joko]

name one black serial killer....

most are white in my experience... what does that say about all whiteys??

[bernardo]

What is your question? Is it one of those Private Eye things "Bla bla bla is the new black"? I prefer Jackson Pollock with his multi-coloured squiggles. Cornelius Cardew was also a hoopy frood, but his improvised avant-garde music was panchromatic and not reliant on serialism.

[bernardo]

Oh!! I posted my previous answer before I read any of the others. Am I to understand that the word "black" in your "question" was actually referring to ethnicity or skin colour, rather than a colour in the artistic sense? When you mentioned knives, I thought you were referring to sculpture. If you were in fact being an offensive racist, then you should be cut in half with a scythe. Or perhaps a knife. Cornelius Cardew and Jackson Pollock were both killed in road accidents. Is this relevant to the price of hippopotamuses? Perhaps not.
