I think the negative view might be on angry young black people to be precise. The gobby girls having a go at a policeman for saying all lives matter or young soldiers cleaning a war memorial from graffiti too early and getting their faces all over social media. Most people take people as they find them based on their character and attitude. You might even get some people getting a bit tired that the most important thing to an individual is their skin colour, when the person making the decision hasn’t the time or the same level of interest or involvement in it with however many things going on in their life and work. That’s just a guess but I can imagine a lot will get a bit tired of it or something they’d rather not get involved in because of PC today.

I’m personally more interested in how someone sounds in work than their skin tone. The thing I can’t understand is why some articulate young BAME people, including in politics in the media fail or won’t pronounce their T’s, or even just drop the inner London Street accent.

There’s the Asian Labour Party activist who cannot ever pronounce a T when saying The Labour Party and there was an articulate young black lady hosting LBC this week. She rang in and made good points to Iain Dale, but then somehow started to get angry with Iain on things he won’t be guilty of put of nowhere. Credit to Iain’s calmness as always.

Next evening Iain had her co-host a phone in. They must have refused white callers to prevent any heated arguments and stuck to airing issues. Some good points on black history in education, lack of black people in official institutional bodies and things. But I couldn’t understand why she couldn’t pronounce a ‘T’ again.

Nah. You understand perfectly. Just lack the spine to answer. Fair enough.

I did give you an answer.

You want to tie me to your emotive language I haven't used so that you can claim that's how I view the situation.

When it isn't.

So there should be mistrust of the whole of black culture by the actions of some, there is knife crime for sure there are other issues that we could debate for sure but if people have a mis trust of the whole of black culture based on the actions of some that is why people are marching.

White working-class boys who qualify for free school meals are the poorest performing group in education. Yet ignored. Written off.

The entire notion of 'white privilege' is based on an assumption of collective responsibility based solely on skin colour. Beyond racist. Ethonist. Not even taking into account different nationalities and history.

Yep that is a stat I have heard of as well and no they shouldn't be ignored as they should have much opportunity as anyone else, basically there should be fair crack for all not based on what anybody looks like or there socially or economic class.

I am a bit confused about your second point in relation to me though I haven't even hinted at the notion of white privilege.

If you had read the original post you'd have found that very same word.
