Racism. Stop it!

A poem to make you think.

Racism has a human heart....Racism has a human heart, An artery of cruelty & death, It has blood of anger, & evil…, Has a force of pain & antipathy. Racism has a human mind…. An Intellect of terror & delusion, Has an emotion of extreme savage Imagination of vile ideas, macabre. Racism has a human mouth, It has tongue of torture, depravity, Many teeth of brutal incision & kill Has a lip of sorrow, hate & death. JOHN NELSON 4-Mar-09

Where Do YOU Think People Get Their Attitudes From?

The Stephen Lawrence Case

Stephen Lawrence, a black British teenager (born 13 September 1974) from Eltham, southeast London, was stabbed to death while waiting for a bus on the evening of 22 April 1993.

After the initial investigation, five suspects were arrested but never convicted.

 It was suggested during the course of investigation that the murder had a racist motive and that Lawrence was killed because he was black, and that the handling of the case by the police and Crown Prosecution Service was affected by issues of race leading to an inquiry.

In 1999, an inquiry headed by Sir William Macpherson examined the original Metropolitan police investigation and concluded that the force was "institutionally racist" and has been called 'one of the most important moments in the modern history of criminal justice in Britain'. 

This led to the publication of the Macpherson Report 1999, which investigated institutional racism within the Metropolitan police.

On 18 May 2011, it was announced that one of the original suspects, and another man, are to stand trial for the murder.

WHAT DO YOU THINK ABOUT THE WAY THAT THIS CASE WAS HANDLED? AND THE 


FACT THAT THE MURDER WAS RACIALLY MOTIVATED?

'87,000 people from black or minority ethnic communities said they had been a victim of a racially motivated crime. They had suffered 49,000 violent attacks, with 4,000 being wounded. At the same time 92,000 white people said they had also fallen victim of a racially motivated crime. The number of violent attacks against whites reached 77,000, while the number of white people who reported being wounded was five times the number of black and minority ethnic victims at 20,000. Most of the offenders (57%) in the racially motivated crimes identified in the British Crime Survey are not white. White victims said 82% of offenders were not white.’
