@Isleofskye Real Talk! This has nothing to do with poverty this has to do with culture and upbringing in the home. Not everyone who is impoverished goes out to sell drugs and get a gun. No one wants to talk about this but, there is a huge problem in the black communities in certain areas of London & other cities. You could say it black kids have terrible role models but, i think it reaches further than just that. Oh and before you all say it no i am not white. I am part of the black community.

Good on you all. start a revolution against crime. Shop the dudes, get rid of them.

@Isleofskye Obviously, u have not spent alot of time in EAST London.

Crime is rife, heroin, crack and Cocaine is being sold on most council estates.

And if you think bangladeshis dont commit crime and their borough ie. Tower Hamlets is free from gang and gun crime, u are deluded.

REALLY deluded

Out now..speak later...

@FukcKKKBNP

Ironically I have as many Black friends as White..lol

However PLEASE be the first person to answer me this, my friend....

If it is Poverty that is a major factor then why are easily the most impoverished London Community i.e. The Bangla-Deshi Community almost totally FREE of crime....??

[FukcKKKBNP]

@Isleofskye This is mostly a poverty thing.

White people in general have more things to take. They make up most of the upper middle class.

White women are easier to target as they put up the least resistance and are intimidated.

If indians had all the money, carried mobile phones and flaunted jewelry, they'd be the main targets.

Its a poverty issue. Go to Bradford, Belfast or Dublin and you will see the same crimes being committed by white europeans.

@FukcKKKBNP

I'm just aware that the last time a Racial breakdown of Mobile theft/assaults was allowed in 2004 the figures for ALL London's 33 Boroughs were:-

175,000 assaults/thefts committed by 157,000 described as "Black" and 18,000 "Others" which considering Black people were only 10% of Londoners is exactly the REVERSE of what it should be !

The victims? 155,000 WHITE Females and 20,000 "Others".....

THAT is xenothopic!

No longer racial profiling to preserve Community Relations! lol

[FukcKKKBNP]

@Isleofskye nope. Catford was always a shit hole.

You were just young and the scumbags of the 70s didn't scare you, as they looked like you.

Xenophobc is what I think u may be
