As far as I can work out there isn't a race issue here, it's a wealth issue. We have a disenfranchised generation that has just gone up like a tinder box.nicenice wrote:When the poor are good we want to help them, when they kick up a fuss because they're mistreated we want to kick em back down.
As things develop the air of race and class discrimination grows.
The middle class love to sit their looking down from their moral high ground.

I don't see why you can't condem the rioting and want it to stop as quickly as possible *and* support creating a better environment for these kids going forward. Yes, we've failed them, but no, that doesn't mean we have to let them burn everyone's city down... do what it takes to stop the trouble and then do what it takes to prevent it kicking off in the future... and not just by putting police at the Tube stations... by seriously investing in our kids futures using tax money from the richest in society.
These kids have been taught that the only path to self-worth is acquisition, but they've been allowed no tools with which to acquire. It's perfectly natural what they're done, but so is a polar bear attack in a threatened habitat... you still have to shoot the polar bear.

Also that people are overlooking factors as to why this has happened, instead choosing to point blame and chastise.
Youre proving how much of an ignorant fucker you are with statements like that!nicenice wrote:Thing is, most of these kids have used there balls and brains and made a fuck load of money. By dealing drugs, different market same thing.
I find it funny.
It does take balls and entrepreneurial spirit to be a dealer or a hustler selling on stolen goods, but there's no brains in it. Clearly it is a limited career path ending in jail or the grave depending on which country one lives in and how far one takes things.JBoy wrote:Youre proving how much of an ignorant fucker you are with statements like that!nicenice wrote:Thing is, most of these kids have used there balls and brains and made a fuck load of money.
