@blackandproud75 Using a lot of 'them and us' thinking which leads to stereotyping. Not every black person is good and not every white person is bad. I don't know what you are getting at saying 'we' are going to be the majority. It sounds like a threat. Sounds like you will be as bad as the racist white people are now. What will that achieve?

@kiensmf I lived in Brixton opposite the Academy years ago and the guy who ran the kebab shop across the road had the same sort of story in that all the windows on the road were smashed except his as everybody used to get their kebabs there. He also ran and illegal drinking den and served beer all night but he won't mind me saying that as he closed down now.

Anyone who has had a run in with the police in what ever country Black or White. Knows what a bunch of no friend, bunch of cunts they are. Not one excluded.
