RSSHello Mr. Derbyshire,
So, the years of structural racism has nothing to do with it?
People from minorities are twice as likely as white people to have been mistaken for staff in a restaurant, bar or shop.
The global history of colonialism, and anti-black racism specifically, is in important respects a history of sustained and multiple assaults on black bodies. These assaults range from physical assault, psycho-social assault and also, among other forms of oppression, political and economic subjugation of black bodies.
People of color in Britain need their own spaces. Black people need their own spaces. We need places in which we can gather and be free from the mainstream stereotypes and marginalization that permeate every other societal space we occupy. We need spaces where we can be our authentic selves without white people’s judgment and insecurity muzzling that expression. We need spaces where we can simply be—where we can get off the treadmill of making white people comfortable and finally realize just how tired we are.
EXACTLY! IN AFRICA.Replies: @Commentator Mike

Those spaces are called Africa and Asia.

Wearing uniforms and proper attire is no longer a thing in UK?

I hear Nigeria is nice this time of year.

That's just a minor nuisance, compared to being a white guy with a long graying beard in December. Kids, they won't back off easily.

Good grief. A more accurate comment would have been: "Minorities are twice as likely as white people to complain about being mistaken for staff."

In every instance where blacks & browns are in great numbers, and / or control the governments of cities, counties, regions, states, countries, & continents we see:
- massive murder rates
- massive crime in general
- degraded property
- massive disease, especially STDs
- massive drug & alcohol abuse
- general filth, squalor
- massive birthrates
- inability / unwillingness to support their own children
- massive youth pregnancies rates
- massive school dropout rates
- incredibly low IQs & test scores
- violence as a way of life
- fathers nowhere to be found
Black people are so special God gave them an entire continent. Plenty of places in Africa for black people to have their own space, where you will encounter zero racism in your own land. Why not go back to Africa and help develop your Wakanda?Same goes for Indians, Chinese, Mexicans etc. God gave each of you your own countries for a reason. Dumb and wicked liberals in the west are trying to build the Tower of Babel to obfuscate their Sodom and Gomorrah, which will eventually all be destroyed. Go back to your own lands where you will encounter zero racism among your own kind, and help develop your own country.
Black people need their own spaces.

On Planet Earth, Afro crime is high. Period. It is high in their homeland, Africa. It is high in countries to which they migrate that were colonizers. It is high in countries to which they migrate that were not colonizers. It is high in countries to which they migrate that were slavers. It is high in countries to which they migrate that were not slavers. It is high nearly everywhere they are found on this third rock from the sun. Idang Alibi, a Nigerian journalist, states it plainly:Anywhere in the world today where you have a concentration of black people among other races, the poorest, the least educated, the least achieving, and the most violent group among those races will be the blacks. When indices of underdevelopment are given, black people and countries are sure to occupy the bottom of the ladder.God himself must be frustrated with his black children. They must be an embarrassment to him. He has given us everything he has given to other of his children; why are his black children not manifesting their own gift?
Afro crime is very high relative to other groups. This is why we profile.
