London Riots About Race
The reluctance of police and journalists to identify the race of suspects is not limited to the UK. Americans encounter the same problem. And it is not just about the race of criminals. It is also about political affiliations. No Democratic politician ever does wrong, and there are no Communists or members of crime families in the government. Americans are clueless about who they support and who they oppose. They seldom know why. Journalists, politicians and police actively try to keep citizens in the USA uninformed.
[From article]
British Police officer "explained that about 80 per cent of gun crime took place in the black community. I smiled uncomfortably. But no, he said, it was worse than that. Then he told me that 80 per cent was black on black gun crime, and that of the remaining 20 per cent about 75 per cent involved at least one black person: black shooting white, or white shooting black. I pushed to know more. While he kept saying his stats were crude and he didn’t have scientific numbers, on the whole the whites who were involved in these shootings tended to be from Eastern Europe.
Was any of this ever mentioned in their presentation? Of course not. Just like the news about the Tottenham riots doesn’t mention race either.
Problems cannot be addressed unless people are willing to tell the truth. As with so many other things in this country, we stick our heads in the sand and refuse to speak out about it."

These riots were about race. Why ignore the fact?
