sorry, homicide covers murder and manslaughter

Reading the whole speech, he was expecting mass loss of life (or blood I suppose) as a result of cultures conflicting here in Britain. Didn't happen.
|
|
By:
Did he give a specific timeframe sib?
|
|
By:
all iknow is when you hear of a gang rape you think black right away or am i wrong
|
|
By:
No, but if it was to be in forty years time, he might have waited. The only defence for him is "just wait and see". Well after nigh on 40 years, that holds no weight any more.
|

By:
Well let's see, if I saw a news headline today and saw the headline 'Rivers of Blood' sweep across Britain I'd imagine that killings and civil unrest had erupted far beyond previous unknown levels and that I should be barricading the door.

"In this country in 15 or 20 years time the black man will have the whip hand over the white man"
|
|
By:
well, sparks, what he meant was diarise the barricading for forty years time, apparently.
|
|
By:
ooh, well done. Thats confused them.

They've given Nostradamus centuries to get his predictions right ,seems a bit harsh on Enoch to give him 40 years. The fact that homicide rates have gone down in the last 20 years doesn't prove he was wrong at all.
If the homicide rates have gone up since he MADE the speech ,then he is in fact correct. If the unrest hasn't reached the proportions he predicted ,then he's still not wrong because the country hasn't fallen into the sea. Bit pedantic ,but to say he is wrong is jumping the gun ,imo. |

By:
If saying he was wrong is jumping the gun, then surely so is saying the opposite?
|
|
By:
If homicide rates have gone up since the speech, it doesn't help him at all. He was talking about violence specifically arising out of cultural battles. Brodie, it didn't happen.
|
|
By:
Well he'd be correct if he'd said 'homicide rates will show a net gain', but those weren't quite his words were they? He was trying to whip up trouble and reasoned conjecture doesn't do that - fantastical (and spectularly wrong) doom-mongering might have, elsewhere.
|
|
By:
Yep, Bara, I'm responding to the allegation Enoch was wrong.
The jury is out imo, but he could turn out to be right. |
|
By:
And Nostradamus dated his prophecies, and any one who gives them any weight is frankly daft.
|
|
By:
^^^ i was being a bit tongue in cheek and he did not give specific dates iirc.
|
|
By:
As I look ahead, I am filled with foreboding; like the Roman, I seem to see "the River Tiber foaming with much blood."
this is the actual quote. and, the black man will have the upper hand, was said by someone speaking to Powell and not by him. |

you're correct, i apologise.

DAMN YOU, DAMN YOU ALL TO HELL! :_|

Hang on, no, it was by a man he claimed to have spoken too. It's a bit like Cath saying she heard someone say we're all going to die of swine flu.

By:
calm down orioles, i did a very nice bit of photoshopping for you earlier, by mistake admittedly.
|
|
By:
She was a bit right then .
|
|
By:
Bighouse - that was not part of the letter he quoted. And even if it was, as a man who received many many letters, he chose specifically that one to press home his point.
|
|
By:
was right
|
|
By:
Anyway, no offence to anyone ,been good chatting.
I'll let the big guns do the business now and sort what's what. :D |

I shall also bid farewell, I'm going to cook a curry!
