What about the North of Ireland then, weren't they second class citizens in their own country with less economic opportunities ?, wasn't there a form of holocaust perpetrated against those people from that island years earlier, I know an Irishman from a village who I heard tell a story where our soldiers pulled every male over 8 years old out of their houses and they were all executed and that was barely 200 years ago.
And what about the Romans when they came here ans slaughtered all the supporters of Boudica.
I know a story of families living peacefully in northern Ireland who were dragged kicking and screaming from their houses and then made to watch the whole street burn, set on fire by members of the PIRA, and that wasn't anywhere near 200 years ago. And that is recorded fact not just a story.
I couldn't gife a toss whether you trust me or not frankly. But you better be careful about saying things like that on here. i said something similar and was put on the naughty step. appartently, according to the bible of CCMB all racist stems from Uk's colonial past. Everyone knows that.
Again anyone questioning it should educate themselves, this video is very helpful:

It is all such a complicated intertwined paradigm that it’s tough for me to get my head and my emotions around.
It struck me and shocked me 18 years ago when I moved here how there seemed to be more racial undertones than in the UK.
To just blame racist police and other institutions is massively oversimplifying things.
It’s how black people are perceived, still today....as too different and a threat by so many people and how how these perceptions must understandably perpetuate the feeling of disenfranchisement and resentment that needs addressing.
Relative financial inequality is also another big factor that contributes to the cycle of problems and lord knows how to tackle that?
One can only hope that this whole sorry situation is the catalyst for positive change.
The ethos of the US seems to be to look after number one and to pay as little in tax as possible. In what other country do you find such a huge proportion of the population not demanding a universal health care system and not demanding a ban on personal firearms? And the US accounts for almost half of the personal gun ownership in the world, it is said. Political candidates (usually very old white men) need to prostitute themselves to raise the many millions of dollars it takes to run for election and many appointments in the judicial system are political. It's a sick society in many ways and those at the bottom suffer most.
Seen Spike Lee on the box yesterday, giving a history lesson as regards the founding of the USA, genocide, stealing land and slavery.

Talking of racism the above story has made the news today and has been described as anti Irish racism perpetrated in this case by the English, England has a state religion, the supreme Governor of the church of England is the Queen.
It's not just black people that suffer racism.
Talking of the police was the Cardiff 5 all black/mixed race ?, and didn't the eventual trial against the police collapse due to missing paperwork ?
There was all sorts of racism accusations against our police, were things ever put in place to prevent our police doing the same thing in the future ?, it's just not America there are problems.
I see the UK protests have turned ugly. Let’s attack UK police because of some psychos on the American force. Crazy.
