I agree its not an issue if the UK as people aren't as likely to die in police custody here as they are in the US but if you are black you are more at risk of dying in police custody than if you are white.

He’s stuck in the 90s
You only have to listen to the way he talks about the soul crew and what drugs are dealt in certain cities to realise the man is stuck in a time warp.
All his analogy’s are from the 80s and 90s
Swear he was frozen in 1992 and has just been defrosted
The people of butetown who travelled up to the city centre today to protest
It's better than messing about on this thread , it's full of the same old arguments
Tell them you think their protest is pointless and has nothing to do with what happened in america
Let me know how you get on
So are you chinese ?
And you have suffered discrimination
Yet you have spent this thread having a go at protestors , mostly peaceful , in this country protesting against racism ?
I am sorry but if you are what you say you are then you are very odd
Take care of yourself
Well I think behind this arguement , before you got offensive was your view that the protests in this country were pointless as police brutality in this country was not a problem on the scale it is in the united states . I think you will find most of the people on that protest today are against discrimination
It's pointless, looking at this thread , trying to persuade a group of mostly , almost exclusively white blokes on here that these protests are futile
What do you think ?
I’m not chinese I was just being sarcastic.
Someone did write it though. Probably a kid. It did upset Steven, Jim’s son, who used to bother with us. But probably because his nickname was Phoeey after the cartoon character so he thought someone was saying he sucked his fathers balls.
I’m not saying it’s right now in 2020 but in 1986 I’m sure it was just meant to be a joke and not incite any racial hatred. We were less educated to other cultures then.
We have never had many BAME folk in Merthyr. Plenty of Italians and then later the Chinese then Indians were as exotic as it got. In the last 20 years the Polaks and the Portugese have come here for a better life. The Portuguese in particular have embraced the community and have opened several bars and restaurants in a certain part of town, it’s like Little Lisbon. I remember when they beat us in the Euro semi final a couple of idiots went up to one of their bars looking to start trouble but they were soon sent packing by the more decent Merthyr folk.
The Polaks keep themselves to themselves more. Caused a few problems in town with their violence. Hard bastards to be fair.
