  1. What a load of garbage. He's just basically said nothing. Poor people are the problem not racial groups. Erm no. Racial groups do play a factor in this. There is a disproportionate number of POC involved in these street gangs. Statistics he just stated does not tally up with police crime statistics. I'm sure of it. Certainly does not tally with the disproportionate number of POC in our prison population. POC are also disproportionately involved in the moped gangs robbing people on stollen scooters ect. You would have to blind, dumb or pretty stupid to not notice a trend among racial groups. It's not racist to acknowledge what your eyes see. I notice Akala avoids the very obvious factor which does not seem to get mentioned. The elephant in the room. Drugs. Drugs and drug related crime by ethnic minority groups. Are these knife attacks about shutting people up who would otherwise report drug crime? Violence and intimidation are all part of the black market trade. There are some very shady people making alot of tax free money on the back street. They don't want anyone ruining it for them. Why is Akala not prepared to talk about this issue? Maybe his Bob Marley like appearance and demeanor is no coincidence. (that racist of me? Oh fxxk off with your fascist censorship) He's just playing devils advocate for minority groups. What he says does not tally up with what you see. Of course kids from half black parentage count towards black on black crime. What a stupid thing to say. If you have a black parent you are black by decent. There are now alot of kids with mixed race parentage. Alot of these kids grow up in largely black communities and adapt largely to black life style choices. No bad thing. But a fact. Culture is just as much factor as race. We now have white kids who grow up with black idols and imitate black culture. Life's a melting pot. There is an argument that a white kid mixed up with a black gang culture is going to distort your figures/racial factors. Think it's important to talk about culture as much as race. Throwing Akala. Sudo black interlectual up to speak on this issue is so trite and racist Channel 4. Were the white police officers not prepared to say there is not problem within ethnic groups? This is like the Pakistani rape gangs all over again. A complete failure to acknowledge where the problem lays. Does not help resolve this issue one bit. A future of more multicultural stabbings and a cue of stupid patronising MSM interviews telling us not to blame the Brown kids. Denying reality is just fxxkin stupid. When there is a culture of stabbings at Eton and Cambridge come back an debate me....
