Black lives matter

[original PM]

An interesting number of reader comments about this story in all of the newspapers, left and right, made by mouth breathing racists. Is racism on the rise in the UK or has it just been simmering and is now starting to come out into the open?

Nah not really.

I think what most people are pissed off about is the fact that a certain group of people with an axe to grind feel it is perfectly acceptable to ruin or attempt to ruin someone else's holiday who has nothing to do with any racially motivated attack.

Then if we move onto the fact that most black people who are killed are killed by other black people and yet Shaqueesha and Leedesha always insist he 'dint do nuffing' and all the problems are down institutionalised racist white people.

And you know what after a while if you call someone an institutionalised racist white person regardless of what they do then you may find they just decide to be what you expect them to be.

12,368 convictions for racist or religious hate crime in 2013/2014.

Hardly a national problem.

Black lives matter no more than that of any one else.

If you choose to live by the attitude problem then be prepared to die by the same.

This is true, but the point they're wishing to make is that Black lives matter no less than any one else.

But +3000 incidents between 16th and 30th June this year compared with under 1000 last year, for the same period last year may be indicative of cause for concern.

And particularly for the American police.

No it isn't. Its activists like Old Gregg inventing 5 hate crimes each day , every day. About as believable as that petition the remainers started up. 4 million signatures !

Exactly, you can report these 'hate crimes' anonymously online.

It is better to deal with actual convictions which are not that common.

"In total, there were 3,076 reported hate crimes and incidents in the second half of June, compared to 2,161 in the same period in 2015."

Not less that 1000.
