02/15/2009: "Police 'still institutionally racist' (UK)"

In 1999 black men were six times more likely to be targeted for stop and search techniques, but in 2008 they were seven times more likely to undergo the same procedure than white counterparts.

The report stated: "Ten years after the publication of the Inquiry report, there is still significant progress to be made - notably in relation to the career experiences of black and minority ethnic officers and the disproportionate use of stop and search procedures against Black groups.

"It is difficult, in light of these continued challenges, to argue that the charge of institutional racism no longer applies."

Rob Berkeley, director of the Runnymede Trust, said: "I think it can be said that the police are still institutionally racist.

[ When there are differences in criminal activity between whites and non-whites, it reflects badly on white behavior! ]

Like a politician of my homeland once said, 'when a call comes in that a northren african youth has robbed someone, you don't pullover every blue eyed blonde haired swede. No, you look for youth of northren african descent.'
The strange thing about all this is that yet again the innocent white man is to blame, how dare they not commit the same amount of crime as non-whites! Damn racist bigots.
