Need to be mindful that it's easy to take and highlight specific examples to push whatever agenda. The kidnap example you gave there, you can wonder why Madeleine McCann receives so much attention when other children of all race and age, don't. It happens, some media stories catch fire, others... don't. Browse http://www.missingpeople.org.uk and it's staggering how many children go missing and you don't hear a peep.

I had a look at that link, and not to make light too much of a missing person but this one stood out

I have to laugh at people saying it doesn't matter here in the UK.

Let me take a guess at something, when you look in the mirror you see a white person.

Haha indeed at you deciding everything is ok.

Mate, since 1990, 11 black and ethnic minority persons have been shot by UK police, people trying to compare and affiliate our situation with that in the US are needy, attention seeking individuals with their own personal axe to grind.

The issue in the US is real, the issue here just isn't
 
It's not real in terms of them getting killed but having worked in youth clubs in Brixton and Peckham a few years back there is deinfitely a difference in how some police treat black youths and white youths, especially with regard to randomly pulling them over for no logical reason other than they supposedly look shifty.

I lived around there for 10 years and saw it however, as a youth myself at the same time, I got pulled no end.

Davenport Chapelle lol

Auto correct haha

Why can't you remember which one ? Is it because they all look the same to you ?

You bad racist

lol no. I have only seen Chris rocks shows once and dave chappelle 2 shows so it's one of them. On a limb I'd say it was Chris rock as he is more likely to have the shock value in his material.

Madeline a very big minefield topic that! Haha I just used that as a example for over in America as to be honest I have little knowledge on the ins and outs of it over there. But combined with the very media hyped racial stories I just used it to highlight a difference.

Same as although racism exists in this country, anyone of colour can be championed here much more. Whole music genres are driven here and aknowledged whereas over in America I wouod argue to a certain extent it isn't as clear cut. But to be honest I'll admit I don't know enough on thst front to offer an argument for it haha
