You’re 6x more likely to be stopped & searched if you’re black. Of those stopped & searched for drugs, a higher proportion of white people had drugs on them than black. That’s disproportionate. Better still, don’t search any adult for small amounts of drugs for personal use.

Blond, white, public schoolboy, teenager, who went every weekend to Brixton to buy cannabis, told me he’d never been stopped & searched by the police. I wonder why?!!!

I think you’re making a racist statement about black people and knife crime or am I wrong?

Not really Brian. Black youths are more likely to carry knives than white youths. I mean you wouldn’t scrutinise a little white old lady at airport check-in as much as an Asian man with a beard would you?

It’s called racial stereotyping. If you stop a young black man at random, they are more likely to be a victim of crime than a perpetrator. A man in Islamic dress is more likely to be devoutly religious, tea total and law abiding than he is to be a terrorist. Racism & Islamaphobia
