racism will continue to exist for a long time. society it self has to advance to a completely new way of thinking, and everyone be on a single plane of living for racism to completely disappear. /my opinion. |

"King said he was kicked several times in the head and face and twice in his testicles.
The video also appears to show him being sprayed with gas and bumping his head on the police van's rear door as he is taken into custody."
i didn't read the whole story but .. i hope these cops get fired.. not that it is going to help much cuz another racist will just take his place .. but this is just outrageous! |

Rep Power: 8  | believe me, if you knew my circles and my friends you'd know im not racist.
but i can honestly say, growing up where most of my friends are 'black' or mixed, black people perpetuate racism a thousand times more then any white people i've ever met. in england it seems that black people are so so so much more racist then whites in general.
that is the truth. |

Rep Power: 8  | ^ lmao... that's a heavy quote... and azy... your right... I been places like newcastle, cornwall and heartford and I felt so out of place... white folks everywhere... even the dam corner shops... however... I still spotted the thugs (white boys in gap tops and hoods up) you know they the troublemakers coz the fuckin' sun is out an shit... they walkin' round like its raining... jus look silly tho... London has got to be the most multicultural location in the whole of the UK region... look at me even.. I'm, british, scotish, jamacian and indian... and I got alot of black, white, turkish and indian friends here an there... its all good |

that is the truth. | Word.
I don't know about the UK, but in America, whites are the major miniority now. Blacks and Mexicans are multiplying here everyday. And it's true that blacks propell racism more than whites nowadays. Sure, there's still white racists. I'm not saying there isn't.. I'm just saying.. Blacks are still mad because their great great grandfather was a white man's slave. Let it go.. It's done and over with.. It's not going to do any good to avenge your ancestor's slavery on a slave owner's descendant. I live in the south.. And I see racism everyday. Racism from blacks to whites, whites to blacks, Mexicans to whites, whites to Mexicans, blacks to Chinese, etc.. No matter how much people bitch and complain about being treated inferior to your piers, it's not going to do any good. As long as the world is still intact, racism will be as well.

Rep Power: 8  | Never been to England....
but based on what you are talking about I agree with Azy and Funn Dementall...
I know many, many african-americans, who are racist...but people think it's okay, because of they're skin color. Myself, I am mixed, white and mexican so I get two views of racism within my own family. I just think it's kinda crazy that blacks can call whites "*******s" and "White boys", and they can have a channel just for blacks "BET", but if whites had "WET" it would suddenly become racist. But thats the kinda world we live in I guess. It's all good... Racism is ignorant, so by ignoring it, you can get a lot further in life.
but those cops....ehh... they should get fired. Just my standpoint. Because the man, was obivously not going to get away, and if he was co-operating, there is no poiint in even touching him agressively...
