Edited by Penge Eagle (07 Jun 2021 8.28pm) we are always told a. Stephen Lawrence was killed by whites for no reason other than being black. and never b. we are not told he was killed by a white drugs gang in a black neighbourhood. which is the truth ?

Stupid reply. You’re better than that Maple I’ll take that as a compliment. Thanks Tom But the point is important. Even the most mild black people I talk to resent the way they are treated. You literally only have to ask. And try to ask someone working class not cushioned by relative wealth and a good housing situation.

Dissing a poster because they live in Midhurst, meaning their opinion is somehow not as valid is nonsensical.

Big surprise that no witnesses at the party where Sasha Johnson was shot have come forward. So much for Black Lives Matter, in fact where are the calls from BLM for witnesses to come forward? My guess is that BLM are investigating and any day now they will pin the blame on the police some how. E.g. if Sasha was blonde haired and blue eyed the police would be all over it. Or The police have botched the investigations because they don't care just enough worthless black life blah blah

Not seen Midhurst get this many mentions in a long time, although not quite on a par with Worthing. Not many Palace supporters here either. But if any of you are bikers, join your mates on the A272 through here every Sunday. Like a Brands Hatch superbike festival. Drop by and have a cuppa.
Dad and I watched games standing on the muddy slope of the Holmesdale Road end. He cheered and I rattled. |

Ah Midhurst with its less than 0.4% black population is not an area I expect people to have many black friends. As such I also don’t think it would be easy to walk a mile in their shoes.

May take you up on the offer POG, often drive through Midhurst, although negotiating Petworth is a pain. Take care of yourself

I grew up on Stockwell Park estate in Brixton that was less than ten percent white. I know exactly what it was like. We use to get sh1t pushed through our letterbox. What's it like living in a nice part of Croydon?

Take care of yourself My dear wife and I have visited Midhurst a few times and enjoyed the delights of some of the establishments. Never had any issues negotiating Petworth, another delightful place.
