Is it racist to say gun/knife crime in London is predominantly caused by a certain race?

Having been a victim of knife crime, perpetrated by a white, northern working class lad, whilst up north, I beg to differ.
I see you changed your post....as London as always had stabbings....in fact the overall numbers don't seem to fluctuate that much.
But you still think violent/knife crime wasn't rife in the old days? I guess you haven't watched Peaky Blinders then
But this thread isn't about the uk. It's about london.

"People" are not generally so stupid as to not read the foreign names and see the colour of these murderers and shooters and knife attackers. Constantly joining threads in support of a sub culture of ethnic origin men calling for constant statistics just winds people up. You are in total denial and trying to sway the un-swayable. It's patently obvious we have imported a lot of immigrants who are unwilling or unable to adopt British values to life and harmonious existence, or to see their offspring adopt them. The authorities are losing control by being hamstrung by PC nonsense where they skirt the obvious issues and the likes of the BBC give air time to "ex" black gangsters who cite every reason save endemic disregard for British law and order as the cause of their compatriots behaviour. Poverty is patently not the issue, more like a lack of work ethic, or ethics in general leading them down a path to criminal earnings and the celebration of an unlawful lifestyle mocking anyone who cares to suggest this, aided by a liberal elite braying we are all racists, ignorant and intolerant.
Christ guys.. it's not hard to find the numbers.

But before the bigots get all excited about the numbers, here's what I said the last time I posted these stats:

Sorry to hear that, but it's not a common thing or part of the culture where I live and never has been. I've never heard of anyone where I live being stabbed or even carrying a knife, and I don't come from an affluent area at all.

Thats hip hop culture, which isn't exclusive to black people.
London has had the biggest increase so it's getting all the attention, but knife crime is up in 38/44 police forces.
Poverty is a factor but not the only cause, this was discussed in a similar thread in SC. But poverty in London is very different because you're more isolated and are surrounded by wealth unlike up north where there's a stronger community feeling.
If they policed festivals the same way as Notting Hill Carnival you'd probably see similar arrest numbers (proportionately of course, around a million people attend).

There was loads of it whilst I was a kid. Not so much stabbings but kids carrying concealed weapons, generally used for muggings. It's been going on since time immemorial. You're lucky you didn't get caught up in it if you don't know anything about it. It goes on everywhere.
The difference now, and especially in London it seems, is that the Police are so far stretched and under resourced that the little ****s don't fear getting caught and the omerta and distrust of Police (again, which is amplified by a lack of resources) gives offenders from the most deprived areas (often with a higher black population) the chance to hide in daylight.
More racist cultural appropriation by whites!
it is a issue but not at the level of down south.also many stabbings wont get reported.drugs wise it comes down to the drugs being sold . coke and heroin often goes with violence.coke is a big uk issue.literally most of the issues involve gang culture and drugs. we basically sorta at how new york used to be. its kinda cool for kids/teens to be in gangs or sellng drugs.music reflecting it. poverty obviously plays a part.why work at mcdonalds when you can sell drugs do less seem cool to all your mates.the thing is you do that and make money someone else isnt making that money cause you making it so then comes violence.thats most of it in a nutshell.
guns are harder to get than knifes so that is why knives are used.
there is lots of crime up north.wherever...its just the spotlight is on london at the moment.
when i was working in a certain part of notts there were 3 murders on the same road.in the same week.notts isnt as bad as it was but a lot depends on where you are what you follow know about whats reported.
one of the biggest drug dealers in the uk arrested ever part of a euro cartel was also from here.there will be people the same all over britain.its not just the south that has this issue just as said the spotlights on them.
im going to add to this that currently there is some kind of wave pushing for whos to blame or media fanfair for this crap. the hottest trending video at the moment is racial whatever label you wanna put on it.kinda bores me tbh. people always want to point the finger or someone control everything. video here

Those numbers are tiny, less than 0.1% of the population of Leeds affected, and it includes things like a domestic dispute or a kid carrying a pen knife to school. Yawn.
It's the same in Chicago.

Perhaps the breaking down of family values has a part to play, no role models leads to wayward behaviour.

It's not an issue of skin colour, its a problem within their culture. Socio economic or whatever there is an issue and the facts support that. If it makes anyone feel better you can always tell yourself that it's not their fault.
Still it does not get away from the facts.
Yup, asking the very same questions I was alluding to. Thanks for completely agreeing with me.
Indeed and I don't think anyone has even blamed skin colour tbh.. I'm not sure what all the faux virtue signalling from some posters in this thread re: "the bigots" etc.. is in reference too.

Yet when the likes of I or even the United States President suggests a ban on immigration form places like Somalia, easily the most lawless country in the world, and others of similar ilk, people reach for the smelling salts...
I recall Keith Vaz, he of ill health unable to face questions on his role in a homosexual drug party, yet travelling the globe, embracing Romanian immigrants to the UK on their joining the EU, and saying nothing will change, few will come. Yet the Met has now got its work cut out with Roma gypsies sleeping rough and being near dominant in some regions for street and cash point crime. We need to address the fact that immigrants from regions of lawlessness, or from cultures with a long history of criminality bring those traits to the UK with them.

Yes but generally those people didn't go through with it and actually stab someone.
It's a completely different mindset with these wannabe gangstas.
