Hi, new member from the U.K. here. In view of the violence and obvious disharmony of the current situation I wonder is it not time that the police simply withdraw from the black areas of the cities in the U.S.A.? they are obviously not trusted, liked or wanted by the local populace, so why not just let them police themselves? This would, unfortunately, lead to the possible segregation of the cities, which is against all current liberal thinking, but if I were an American police officer I certainly wouldnât be overly keen to patrol in areas that I was not wanted and actually hated by the majority. If this is unreasonable, perhaps black only police units should be assigned to the more contentious areas?
I donât really know what the solution is, but I see similar situations arising in my own country in the very near future.
Welcome @Trefor - thatâs not a bad idea but the problem is, no matter what the police do, they will be branded as racists and the media will just continue spinning that narrative until they (the media) are stopped.
We also have the Civil Rights Act of 1964, which essentially allows black and other minorities to build their own communities and businesses here in the US, but prohibits any non-minorities from doing so. This matters because if police were to stop policing these minority-controlled areas, and only patrolled areas that were primarily non-minority they would face federal discrimination charges. Instead, what they have decided to do is force integration of minorities into non-minority areas through mandatory low-income housing and schools that send minority kids out of their neighborhoods to attend schools in non-minority areas.
It would be a much better idea to let black have their own cities, businesses, and police so long as whites and others were able to do the exact same thing.
Any update on this?
I guessed it wouldnât be a simple fix! Obviously I know very little about American law. I think your last sentence is probably what I was getting at in the first place. In an ideal world everyone would get on with everyone else, but from what I can see multiculturalism just doesnât work long term.
Well, this is already happening in certain parts of country such as black officers patrolling black neighbourhoods. Guess what! Black officers have also killed black citizens. Were there riots over that? Nope! Also this problem is no longer about George Floyd being killed by a white cop, as evidence is now coming to light that there are many communist groups funded by the CCP and Soros NGOâs that has escalated this issue into a much larger one. This was planned, orchestrated by the CCP in order to distract the world from focusing on their obvious complicity in the CCP Virus.
My people have our own sovereignty so I think whites should too. Great idea but not sure it would work for the bigger cities where commerce attracts the working force. However there are communities that stick with their own like China Town, Little Italy, Pol Town and Harlem to list a few examples.
Letâs face it - these people donât want solutions, they want scapegoats. Itâs tempting to just give them what they want, but theyâll just go down the crapper instead of circling it. Whatever they want will just make things worse.
All we can do is try to keep a lid on things and keep the liberals from making it worse.
I think you may be correct. Whether the plan will succeed is another question. My view is that the majority of the population, certainly in U.K. and I suspect also in America, are of a similar mindset to myself. We, the majority, donât rant and rave like the left wing, bleeding heart liberals, but come election time we strike. Large Conservative majority and hopefully a no deal Brexit. Proof if proof were needed!
The main problem for me is the fact that I can only say what I really think and feel to a limited number of people, because as soon as I say something they disagree with, Iâm called a racist, Nazi and goodness knows what else. Iâm NOT a Nazi, and am actually a very tolerant type. I just think that multiculturalism doesnât work.
Black ANIMALS !!! CHILD KILLERS !!!
Fair comment. The thing is, sometimes you have to let people make their own mistakes. They think they know what they want, once they have it, and realise that they are actually worse off, then maybe wiser heads would prevail and we could live peacefully. Yes, probably not!
Yeah I feel ya, especially being in the UK you guys have it much worse when it comes to free speech and individual liberties being violated, as well as immigration issues thanks to the EU and their fascist ideologies. My advice is to stay the course with Borris and focus on economic policies that will level the playing field and strengthen cooperation with western allies. Start forcing refugees to return to their homeland and off of government assistance programs. If they donât contribute send them out with a one way ticket back to their homeland. Start rebuilding your culture and incentivize UK (true) nationals to start populating again, similar to what they are doing n Hungary.
I think the big problem is Western Civilization has gotten away from the very ideas that made us great to begin with. Freedom and independence. It seems like we are on a sprint to creating a perpetual nanny state that has nothing but victims and oppressors. You guys have it in the UK, especially with your loss of free speech and we arenât very far behind you in that regard in the US. At some point we are going to have to do something about it otherwise we will lose it forever.
One of the biggest problems in this country (U.K.) is the fact that the vast majority of the press are left leaning, and only report what they want believed. The B.B.C. are a complete disgrace!
Whatâs crazy to me is that you, as a taxpayer, fund the BBC and yet they somehow they feel empowered to be completely biased and hostile to the people that pay their salaries.
We watch a good bit of British programming here in our house and I canât count how many times Iâve seen British heroes from your long and proud history portrayed by blacks or other minorities.
Twenty or thirty years ago the B.B.C. news was outstanding. It was honest, accurate and fair minded, only reporting the news and not trying to influence it. The current affairs programmes were equally of good quality. I no longer watch the news on that channel, and canât stand to watch the current affairs programmes either. They are nothing more than left wing/Liberal ambushes for the token Tory they are forced to invite.
