1/2 USA? Murders per person are higher in several British cities than LDN and always have been. Also there are 1.2 million black folk in this city, in a terrible year maybe 50 of them will kill someone so ‘most’ is clearly *a little bit* of an exaggeration.
Are black uni students involved in violent crime? Footballers? Doctors? Grannies? Or is it same demographic in black communities as others: Men/boys aged 15-25 from the poorest families, within poorest communities often with a history of familial abuse/expulsion frm school.
None of this gives anyone an excuse to kill other people’s children of course but can you honestly not see how the wording implicates the other 99.9995 % of black londoners who don’t kill anybody by ‘ethnic extension’ which is quite ironic because...
Because British children of west african origin in particular (whom you raised) are also massively over represented among child genius’ and do quite substantially better in school than similarly poor white, ‘mixed heritage’ and 4 gen ‘black english’ (usually labelled Caribbean)
If we are actually interested in solutions then we have to be accurate in our diagnosis not buy into hyperbole and hysteria and I say this as someone whose family and friends have been directly affected by this even recently so not from a nice safe distance.
Lastly more than 80% of the murders in this city last year were committed by adults so while teenagers get most of headlines it’s actually adults doing most of the killing. 🤷🏽♀️
