Blair urges 'frank talk' over slew of black murders

Lets debate this.

Don't know about the 'teeth' thing. Sounds like a completely stupid idea to me.

Forgive me if I am stupid but doesn't a lot of Gold come from Africa.

Just one little point there.

These are People. People with varying levels of worth and merit. People who are being led left, right and centre by a world ruled by money and greed.

Why can't we be different?

Frank debate will never be taken as a serious attempt to look at the real issues whilst there are morons like Steve in comment #1 making this sort of remark. All reasonable attempts at debate will just be classified as outright racism along with his boneheaded views. Maybe he does have a valid point but he is just incapable of expressing it in anything other than cliched remarks?
It seems to me, as somebody who spent ten years in London but has not lived there for some 12 years, that there is a difference in the origin of the people involved in serious violence involving young black people. It seems to me that when these cases have been publicised in the media over the last few years, more and more of the names of the people involved are African. Before you castigate me as being just another Steve, please think about what I am saying. Whilst they may have a macho culture of carrying weapons, is it not the case that black youths of Carribbean origin are perhaps a bit less willing to actually use them than the youngsters from Africa who appear to be becoming more prevalent on the streets of our cities? Is it a cultural thing? When one comes from a country where life threatening diseases are rife and average life expectancy only extends into the forties, does life become cheaper? Has that attitude been transported onto the streets of our cities with these young African males? Just a thought.

I have not read or heard such sick racist comments coming from stupid close minded people, you cannot be a member of the human race or a citizen of the UK, because you all are stupid idiots. No one is better than the other, we all came from the same place AFRICA, yes, believe it or not so go and wash your mouths out.

Guns & Knife is considered a black crime.
Serial Killing and crimes against children (Paedophiles) are considered a white crime.
Terrorism considered a Muslim crime.

Not everyone in these groups commit crime, the majority don't and are law-abiding individuals. We can sterotype all we want, but at the end of the day it doesn't help matters.

Crime is crime and all sectors of society commits them. It's not right and I wished there were no crimes committed at all, but it happens. All crime, whatever they are, should be addressed.
