At last the BBC telling some truth

[Cyberman]

So the vast majority of teen stabbings seem to be black-on-black gang-crime related.
What's that got to do with the point under discussion?
My point is the 50% commited by 20% stat seems to have been invented out of thin air. I'm willing to be proved wrong however. I have no agenda - the data never lies - and it may be that a disproportionate proportion of all crime is committed by non-white people.

I listened to a debate on knife crime on the radio last week and this stat was quoted many times alongside the fact that 7 times as many blacks are stopped and searched as whites. If you don't believe those figures, fine, but I believe they are true.

Murder capital of Europe, more knife crime per head than any city in Europe, mainly white on white - Glasgow. Your point caller?

for example, certain tribal groups in Kenya tend to be very good distance runners

awesome. just awesome.

inside the mind of ace00:

Plusses: Hmm. Good runners. Good dancers. That Lenny Henry is quite funny. I enjoy the music of Will Smith.

Minuses: Genetically predisposed to mindless criminality and violence. Possibly want to boil me in a massive pot and eat me.

I think (hope) the irony tags were missing from that post.

Maybe I should have read some of the earlier posts ... :-/

Glasgow police are crap at targeting white-knife carriers?

Who knows. A thousand years of whites (And blacks/asians and oriental etc) slaughtering any other nation that got in their way. Hardly gives us any real morally superior high ground when it comes to violence.

That's such absolute bollox and you know it!

Lenny Henry has never been funny in the slightest.

One thing I agree with you on.
