A BBC London radio phone-in received a call from a lady who had been a victim of robbery with her being held up at gun point. The caller then stated the robber was black and she too was black, and now inside her shop she has installed security measures to prevent "black boys" from entering her shop.

In the PC world of the BBC the presenter immediately responded by saying that "this is a minority and most black kids are law abiding and a credit to their families". Yes but this statement should not have been said. There is 100% per cent proof that a problem of serious crime within the black community exists which in many cases is targeted against its own people.

The biggest problem here is actually addressing that there is a black crime problem, and not being afraid of being branded a "racist" by ignorant individuals. Those who defend the status-quo i.e. not stating that there is a black crime problem, and that the vast majority of violent robberies and burglaries in London are committed by blacks; are the white middle class who mostly live in areas like Muswell Hill who probably use drugs, send their kids to a certain state school in Fortis Green and by so doing depriving the black kids who need to go to good state schools in order to get a decent education.

Londoner's must accept that black crime is affecting mostly the black community and needs to be addressed head on. Black kids need to be given a better start in schools, and work placements to remove the excuse to commit crime. The white middle-class who are "closet racists" in their expensive houses in Muswell Hill and Highgate, who make the problem worse by not addressing the prevailing issue i.e. in order to stop violent crime by black kids the law must be allowed to punish the criminals To stop the kids being criminalised we all have a responsibility to employ, mentaur and given guidance to these youths.
