Britain: Is it institutionally racist?-The Agenda-01-14-2012

http://www.presstv.ir/Program/221153.html

Following the sentencing of two racist thugs for the murder of Stephen Lawrence 18 years ago, the UK has been forced to re-examine its attitudes towards racism.

In the same week a Manchester student from India was shot dead for no other reason than the colour of his skin but it was the slow approach by the police in handling the case which again forced the questions about institutional racism and the police and Britain's legacy as a former colonial superpower.

Black MP Diane Abbott caused a storm of protest when she said white people found it instinctive to divide and rule and she was forced to apologize for his comments made on Twitter.

But what the last week has done is to put Britain under the spotlight as individuals, as communities, institutes, establishments and as a nation over attitudes towards race, colour and culture.

In this edition of the show we ask: Britain: Is it institutionally racist?

@DJCW well take peadophiles out of that, in 2010, 53 people where charged with raping young children, 50 of them where from pakistan an 46 of them claimed to be muslim, in the UK, its pakistani's that take most of the percentage of raping children, an its mainly blacks that kill other blacks in london these days, but u are right about the other 2 it is mainly whites that are football hooligans an war-mongers

Well I LOVE you all, who cares what colour you are, that was only determined by where you lived in the world anyway, hot countries = darker skin, cold countries light skin. We are all the same species, if you look closer all our religions are the same, we are all made of the same stuff atomically, when will we all see it. We are one LOVE

A very difficult discussion to have,since so few want to join in! Thats the biggest problem with the society/communities today !!

In Norway today, you would have problem getting a job with a foreign name. If you change it, you got a bigger chance.....!

So it's common in a way, but not in the extrem version, like neo-nazi ++ !!
