More Race Mongering

Apparently there are too many blacks inside.

Former barrister David Lammy will review the “over-representation” of black and minority ethnic (BAME) defendants in the justice system.

Presumably  because they commit the crimes in the first place. Don’t commit crimes and, generally, you don’t find yourself up before the beak. Pretty straightforward really.  Ah, but no, it’s waycism, wot dun it.

And he said the police and armed forces must act to ensure equal opportunity.

So they will be pulling black people off the streets to make up the quotas?

Downing Street said 61% of BAME defendants found guilty in crown courts were given custodial sentences, compared with 56% of white offenders.

This is meaningless bollocks.  The sentence reflects the crime, not the colour of the offender’s skin. Ah, but, wait for it…. Institutional racism. You just wait…

Mr Cameron said black people were “more likely to be in a prison cell than studying at a top university”.

Idiot. People are in  prison because they  have committed crimes. It is arguable that across the board, sentencing is not suitable for the offence, but to compare this in any way with going to university is risible nonsense. Study and you can go to university. Go out and rob people, or murder them, you get banged up. There is no relationship between the two.

I, for one, am thoroughly sick of the pandering to the professional race-mongers. People go to gaol because they commit crimes. Not enough of those who commit crimes end up inside, or for long enough, this much, I will concede, but to suggest that it is all whitey being racist is the usual race-mongering, victimhood poker. I’m not playing.

“What does this say about modern Britain? Are these just the symptoms of class divisions or a lack of equal opportunity? Or is it something worse – something more ingrained, institutional and insidious?”

Ah,  yeah, there it is…
