Ive got to say thats how it reads to me. I dont have a problem with it though.

edit: Actually no you are right it was listing people in the public eye that I thought were pandering to racist and it lead on from there. Now that I read it again I still cant see why I was booted but its still fine.

Ive got to tell you that its actually a relief that it wasnt my first remember of the situation.

Nope, you were being silly to someone else.

Correct, ones a pshycopath almost certainly acting alone, the other by the sounds of it is a conspiracy of 2-4 men to commit murder irrespective if they shot the wrong person. I tend to think the later is worse as to find 2-4 like minded people happy to shoot up a party/murder means there's more wrong given multiple people all agreeing its OK to murder/attempt murder seems to indicate a culture of that being OK.

Its a culture issue, not a race issue although they are invariably linked.

Where has this "culture issue" group think emerged from? It seems to have gained significant traction in this thread unlike any other.

It's not 'group think'. It's a correct adjustment away from blaming an ethnic group for the crimes of a fraction of their demographic - something all reasonable thinking people would agree with.

Specifically, people have correctly highlighted the fact that more black people are killed by other black people than by police and therefore question BLMs protesting against the police - surely it makes more sense to protest against the greater threat which is other black people right?

Except that's NOT right. The greater threat is a small subset of the black community - the gang members / criminals who live a different lifestyle and enjoy a different culture (street/gang culture) to ordinary, decent black (and other colours) citizens.

By highlighting that gang 'culture' we are able to have a more nuanced conversation about the threat without tarring all people of an ethnic group with the same brush.
 
Knowing UK police they will probably shelve the case and give ASBO's to the people involved in the 3AM garden party to meet their targets.

To be direct, some aspects of black culture which includes grime/drill which in turn includes many references to guns, drugs, get rich quick has lead to this "culture issue". Its not to say its exclusive to black culture anymore as rap and its various forms are now mainstream so of course there's white and asian into this cuture too.

Before you say music doesn't affect people actions, take a look back through the decades at music and the youth culture that followed it, 1960's hippys, 1970s rock, Punk, 80s pop etc and you'll see the youth of the time was very into those, dressed and acted went hand in hand except none of those glorfied illegal activities to any major degree.

So this "culture issue" is just a way of avoiding saying "black" issue? Given your elaboration was to prefix culture with black, what is the point in saying it is a culture or race issue if the prefix is the same? :confused:

Right, but what is your prefix before the word culture? Because if it is "black" then it does none of those things.

Well if you look back at my post I specifically prefixed it with 'street/gang'. Now it may well be that there are differences between the cultures in white and black gangs that might be worth taking into account to split the distinction, but I really don't know enough about that.

Should we not respect her wishes and defund the police? Scrap the investigation and save money.

They'll only squander the money saved by policing more thought crimes on Twitter and chase suspects for putting up posters with the dictionary definition of a woman.

I mean, we shouldn't really attack the police because that's what the radical left want (to break down law and order) but our police have already been largely poisoned from within by them to the point where it's hard to support them.
 
Can you imagine the relief when the police established that the shooter(s) are black. It will have the media interest nose dive and nobody will care next week. Quite the contrast from potential rioting.

Is it more socially acceptable for a black person to shoot a black person than a white person to shoot a black person?
