Ah so its black and white is it? No grey areas.
I take it you mean POC who have a chip on their shoulder when it comes to racism? It couldn't be that they have experienced racism or seen family or friends experience it. Alan Shearer mentioned on a podcast recently that Ian Wright has been stopped numerous times in his nice car for no reason, Shearer said he hasn't been stopped once for no reason. If you think that doesn't have an affect on people you'd be wrong.
Maybe people in deprived areas who view the police badly could be because of how they and people they know are treated by police even if they haven't done anything wrong. Life is complicated and police are going to treat people with bias just because they are in a certain area and might look a certain way, its huam nature, doesn't mean it is right though.
As for Fox, the man is a POS.
Of course it isn't black and white. That doesn't mean that someones experiences that have shaped their views have any merit when they are making things up. Just because you have experienced racism doesn't mean you are able to objectively call it when you see it. Its still subjective and there are plenty of people who use their race as a weapon to get ahead in life and shut down debate. There is also not always a correct answer to a situation. Which is why the police should be held to account when they stop someone and handle it badly and people who are stopped and act like ***** should be ignored when they claim racism.
And if you want to talk about racism and people getting stopped, yes, if we want a police force that can effectively do their jobs, they will profile people. There is no inherent problem with that. There can be if the police force then treat those people differently once they have been stopped but unless you want the police to do a worse job in favour of political correctness than that will happen.
I don't reckon many young black men are being stopped in Norwich when they are driving expensive Audis. I reckon in parts of London they are. Police literally profile criminals. If they are trying to stop a white british gang they probably won't be looking at many black people in their enquiries and vice versa.
What would you like to see happen when crime is disproportionately committed by certain ethnics groups by the way? You can talk about trying to intervene earlier and support their communities all you like but that doesn't address the current issue. Plenty more can be done to stop people turning to a life of crime when people are young but once they are adult criminals what would you like to see happen? Sorry, we can't really do a lot about crime in your predominantly black community because we don't want to profile so sorry about the crime rate shooting up...
And when I was talking about people with a chip on their shoulder I wasn't talking about POC specifically, I was talking about any minority group. Any group that has a grievance has members of that group who see the world through that lens and blame far too much of their misfortune on it.
