    These comments make me ashamed to be British. Imagine having the gall to tell black people that you know better than them whether or not they face discrimination. Disgusting.

      What a thoughtless comment. Whether or not people are discriminated against can be seen through statistics and simple logic. It's impossible to get rid of cultural racism but institutional racism on the whole simply doesn't exist. That's not to say black people aren't marginalized but that's got nothing to do with racism and everything to do with class.

      I don't know where you went to school, but that was pretty much all we were taught about in history. Everything we were taught was through an anti western lens.
      What we were never taught in school was basic economics, how to understand data or the evils carried out by other peoples of the world; such as the Arab, Ottoman or Barbary slave trades.
      Nor were we ever taught about the Western ideals borne out of the enlightenment and the revolutions it spawned, and that it was these Western values that led to the abolition of slavery for the first time in history the World over. Or how the British Navy blockaded port to stop the slave trade in the aforementioned Arab, Ottoman and Barbary states.

    Having lived and traveled in many countries around the world including the UK, I would have to say unfortunately England is one of the most racist place I've been too. It's kind of sad though, as most people you meet are pretty nice to you, but that 5% of the racist population you meet makes such an impact on how you perceive the place. I've always wondered if the suppression of emotion causes you to turn racist ? I suppose it's very complex. However, I feel the most important part is to even acknowledge that racism exists - which is happening now. At times when I talk about racism, most of my friends brush it off and that makes you wonder if something is wrong with yourself.

      Tragic, but your point falls flat. Justice was and normally is served in cases like this, those men are serving life in prison. The men who did that weren’t police officers they were criminals, George Floyd was killed by someone who was sworn to protect him. It’s not the same. It’s such a lazy and pathetic attempt to draw attention away for racism against BAME people, despite all the evidence that shows it’s an issue, by citing an equally tragic, but less systematic issue. And how dare you exploit the murder of a teenager to undermine a completely separate argument. People are attempting to tackle a severe systematic issue that is backed up with statistical evidence, your argument is based solely on anecdotal evidence and can be easily defeated. RIP Kriss Donald and George Floyd, two people killed because of their skin colour. Do not Kriss Donald’s death for your own far right arguments.

    The lack of diversity of opinion is worrying. There were some examples of symptoms (lack of black managers, statistics in health care) but no clear evidence of structural racism. How can we be sure the situation isnt more complex? How many young black people are having the same opportunities in their development (good education, stable and supportive family, culture, family wealth, safe and pleasant surroundings , peer group etc) I would argue boring born black you are less likely to be born with the same opportunities as a white person due these factors which will then lead to the skewed statistics in outcomes. Inequality of opportunity is a complex issue and one we should all strive to fix. It's too easy just to say structural racism. We should be talking about how we can improve equality of opportunity and life for young black lives.

    So due to those circumstances, I pled guilty knowing that I was innocent, because I didn't want to sit in jail waiting longer for a trial date than the time they were seeking, especially when prison Conditions can be cruel and unusual and trial dates can be unreasonably delayed and convictions can be wrongful and appeals can be often denied.
    I pled guilty knowing I was innocent because I did not want to deal with the stress, fear, frustration, malice, or the confusion caused by systemic racism.
    I pled guilty knowing that Elizabeth May Terry (lizzie terry) made false allegations in order to steal twenty-three thousand dollars of furniture and electronics from me in retaliation for cheating with her sister
    As a victim of systemic racism you do not committ crimes, you just suffer the consequences of crimes like an innocent bystander.
    Systemic racism made me the victim look like the criminal and the actual criminal look like the victim. Even when you tell the truth they will make you out to to be the liar and then make the actual liar out to be the one telling the truth.
    They will pick sides without knowing the truth or without seeking the truth, and then concoct or make whatever side they think they can make look like the truth.
    Everything you say or do they use against you especially in the court of law where everyone in positions of authority are white or have to answer directly or indirectly to someone white. That's white supremacy. Racism, that has been perfected and systematized.
    I do not need anyone to tell me that I'm innocent when I know that I am innocent. The video proves I'm innocent. The same video that the judge refused to watch.
    I pled guilty knowing that I did not committ any offense, knowing that I was innocent, just to get out of jail and they knew that. Now that I'm out, I take that guilty plea right back. I giveth, therefore I taketh.
    I shouldn't have went to jail in the first place. They will lock you up, ruin your life, take everything from you, then release you with nothing. That's racism.

    The sad reality is that racism exists in every white/ ethnic European ancestral nation. The only reason why the US seems to stand out in this regard, is because the population of black people in the states is much higher than in any European nation. 13% of the US pop is black vs. 3.5% of the pop. in UK. At almost 40 million people, blacks in the states collectively form a greater voice that can call out racism and is more difficult to silence by the white majority. It's time European countries stop asking whether racism exists. A basic history lesson informs otherwise.

How about we address that? Oh but we don’t want to address that because it makes those who play apart in it uncomfortable, it means you have to address that part of you that you like to pretend doesn’t exist. So we make out like oh people are just behaving reckless for no reason, so that the reason as to why it’s happening doesn’t have to be addressed! Because doing that makes those with the privilege of not having to deal with racism uncomfortable. Because it means they have to address the part they also play, through the stereo types, the ideas they have that black people are less than etc so they can maintain that illusion they have created that they are better 🙄

    A lot of white people are asking what they can do to prevent racism. In the UK, we need an education system that teaches about the horrors of the British Empire and highlights the fact that our power and privilege stems largely from the fact that we overran countries in distant places and enslaved people for our benefit. Even under this current government, we have seen the Windrush scandal in which people were denied their citizenship rights after decades of living in the UK, and a tower block burnt down in a predominantly BME neighbourhood killing many. There has also been a number of incidents over the years where young men have been killed on the basis of their skin colour. To rectify this issue, we need to face up to our history. Let's not glorify our imperialism, but take a stand against systemic racism and address the horrifying legacy of the British Empire.

They also alleged I was suspicious because I didn’t use a shopping cart, yet many shoppers don’t use cart.

      It sure did. And so does 400 plus years of genocide of the black people.

      @ It could be successfully argued that when police refuse to arrest, the CPS refuses to prosecute and social services remain silent that the problem is indeed, institutional.

      Shelley Philcox yes Shelley you are absolutely right! Failures in police refusing to arrest, CPS refusing to prosecute and social services being silent are all signs of institutional racism. This happens all the time in cases involving black victims, Belly Mujinga, Shukri Abdi, Trevor Belle, Victoria Climbié, Stephen Lawrence, Anthony Walker. There’s more, but these are examples of how the police, CPS and others are institutionally racist against black people and ignore crimes against black people continuously. It isn’t racism to ignore white girls being groomed, it’s very very bad policing (Edit: which the black lives matter movement are very vocal about, they don't just care about black people dying but every single case of the police being absolutely useless at their job and also abusing it)
