    I am a fairly well educated bloke on social history in the uk , no expert , but I know a lot about urban geography and immigration

    For example most of Bristols west indian community came from Jamaica, most of cardiffs came from st kitts and the smaller islands because when I was at college I did a thesis on it.

    I know that leeds and manchester have large jewish communities whilst cardiff , bristol etc do not , as i used to live in leeds

    I know that the east side of oxford is a very run down , cosmopolitan part of the city as I used to live there

    I know that despite the urban myth bradford has many races and cultures , not just Pakistani Muslim , as i used to live there

    It's a mix of education and living in different places
    If you are fairly well educated on social history and urban geography and immigration what is your take on the Anglo Saxon races overrunning Britannia ?, are we better or worse off ? or is it impossible to tell ?
    Some say the laws of Hywel Dda were so advanced it took English law about a 1000 years to catch up.

    Go to mermaid quay and it's all white people sucking on ice cream whilst half a mile away you have one of the country's most deprived communities living in tower blocks

    And most people who live there are black , unlike the posters on here who tell us racism isnt a problem

    Well, it wouldnt be for them , would it ?

    A third of welsh school teachers report racist behaviour in the classroom

    There is an excellent article written by sara robinson , a cardiff city fan who used to post on here , published in today's western mail ........its called the truth about racism in wales

    In it she states that the physical wall separating butetown from the trendily called bay development kept the people of butetown segregated . The new bay are couldnt be less representative of cardiffs maritime cultural history if it tried .

    There is not one statue dedicated to the people who helped build cardiff

    Later on sara tells how she was walking in a city park and one of the other people in the park is black , he is stopped by the police .

    On welsh Twitter a succession of white people , again fecking ironic , que up to post that racism isnt a problem in wales

    Get off your knees, this is not america !

    It is staggering arrogance for white welsh people to tell people from ethnic minorities living here that their experience is somehow imagined , exaggerated or invented .

    How can white people who have never experienced persecution , racist taunts and jokes presume to be experts on how people who have and do experience it should feel or protest about it ?

    The whitewashing of butetown extends to the workplace , our cultural life , our institutions

    Black people are 8 times more likely to be stopped that white people

    Racism may be less lethal , overt here but to deny it's a problem is to deny gravity , we continue to criminalise and discriminate against people of colour in 2020

    We have a lot of work to do in wales before we are in any position to judge or tell protestors they have nothing to protest or that BLM is just a bunch of white middle class rich kids .....footage from the demo in cardiff shows people of all backgrounds and races were represented

    An excellent article by sara , she is active on Twitter

    As for the white working class none were born racist and your class does not make you a racist .
    But you speak of the wall as if it was deliberately built to hide the black community from everyone, and of course you know very well that that is not true and never had been. The wall was built to keep people off the permanent way so the coal wagons could get to the docks and as part of the boundary wall of the bute west dock. and the Lady recounting the black man stopped by police in a park. I've never seen police in Cardiff randomly stop anyone, whether black yellow white [pink or green. They stop people when there is a need. But even then I've not seen it and certainly not against any particular group of people.
    you talk about people spouting bollox, but you are just as guilty of it as anyone else when it suits your argument.

    If you dont think black people are stopped in cardiff randomly then you must be a public relations officer for the force

    Why would sara robinson , who you can contact on twitter , a fellow cardiff city fan make up a story about going for a walk in a park and seeing a black bloke get stopped by the police ?

    If you think shes lying show your cards and tell her

    Being “devils advocate” here, but sometimes all is not what it seems !!
    About 5 years ago, there were a team of gypsy’s (yes, definitely) targeting houses in Rhiwbina and Llanishen. They had a WHITE VAN.

    Now I live in Llanishen and at the time, I drove a WHITE VAN.
    THREE times in one day I was stopped by different police officers whilst driving around Rhiwbina, as they were checking EVERY WHITE VAN.

    Now maybe, just maybe, a crime had been committed in the area in question, where the black man was walking.
    If the description of the offender was “a black man”, would not this justify questioning him.
    It depends on what when on before.

    Same as car accidents, someone caused it, and drives off, “no one sees what happened before”

    I refer you to the link provided by veg1960

    Black people are 6 times more likely to be stopped in south wales than white people

    That's staggering

    Now either this woman who saw the police randomly stop a black guy in cardiff is lying or your view , based only on the evidence of your own eyes which are those of a white person are correct

    The evidence suggests you are wrong

    I can't work out from that table if a black person is 7.4 times more likely to be stopped and searched than a white person, or if 7.4 black people are stopped for every white person.

    Pretty illuminating either way

    No tribe or people are truly indigenous to these islands. The Celts, the Normans, the Jutes, the Frisians, the Danes, the Saxons and the Angles are merely people who moved around Europe in different waves and none of them was a pure race in the first place. And let's not forget that many armies picked up recruits from everywhere they passed through and that mercenaries joined them in order to share the spoils. Each invasion meant that their influence and DNA made their mark and we are a very mongrel race. All this racial purity you spout is sheer nonsense.

    I think it's for every 1 white person stopped 7 black people are stopped

    Considering that 5 percent of cardiffs population is black , that's worrying

    Oldest surviving indigenous people here, Britannia belongs to the Welsh, Offa's Dyke proved to be a bigger barrier to Germanic dna than the North sea did.

    What nationality is this Sara person ?, what is her angle, how long has she been in Cardiff ?, is this the first time she has written about this topic since all the fuss ?
    What's the crime stats for black people for crimes committed ?, is it out of sink for being stopped ?, Was the person that Sara seen stopped a criminal ?

    You are taking a risk putting your faith in a Western Mail journalist, they are a Labour unionist paper (unionist as in GSTQ newspaper) and need to be treated accordingly.
