Newsnight on USA racism now

Why on earth is a british news company covering this ?

I'd rather this than another piece on the 12 muslims that have left the UK to join up with isis.

It's important as there could be a Black v White race war in the near future.

you serious TL

Never mind all that, wtf is Zoony doing on Newsnight on a Friday?

James O'brien is trimming his beard.

Maybe some rioting then....IS.

Emily trimming her tache..

I hope they riot but they will be compressed no matter what.

If there is  a war I am 100% behind the blacks, even though I am white
If they actually tried a bit of socialism in the US. it might help
This ruthless survival of the fitness capitalism, benefits the whites not the blacks

What a silly thing to say. The subtext of that is that the blacks are "less fit".
What about the japanese or koreans or chinese, are they less fit to compete economicaly by being less white?
Still, there will never be a black pres... ahh ok.

Obama is not black....he is mixed race.

I do not think it is silly, different races are not exactly the same, are they?

Also the races you quoted are actually out competing us whites at the moment economically just checking

I do not think anybody actually understands what is really going tbh

My point about socialism is that socialism tries to create a fairer society a kinder society

this may help take some of the viciousness out of the situation.

Unhappy people riot, not happy people

I'm not saying there aren't racists in the US (or other places) and it could be a lot better but it's nothing to do with capitalism. Look at south africa for example, it's got a fairly left wing government with hard left opposition since the end of apartheid and the locals have recently been killing other black people for being not south africans...

Think in many cases your find people who want to capitalise on theft & looting riot.

I cannot post any further on the subject just checking my posts would be blocked

I don't think people riot just for theft and looting, pumphol, although they do take advantage of the situation to do it
there is always a perceived injustice

americans are in general dumb people. racist people r also dumb. no surprise america has race problems.

In the USA the whites have got the upper hand, and in South Africa the blacks have got the upper hand.

Would one prefer to live as a poor black person in America, or as a poor white person in South Africa?

I'd take the American option every time after reading this:

racist people r also dumb

And that's a dumb thing to say.

Ihave lived and worked in the US, Americans are generally very nice people, intelligent and very capable and practical. I liked them a lot.
