    A distant observation, but it seems quite clear that parallel societies are becoming more and more established.

    It's like a re-creation of entire countries within countries. I looked at that trailer and I have absolutely no connection or resonance with it, no commonality, no "group" empathy, nothing.

    It's like looking at insular footage from the Congo or something. Yet, for English people, it's a stones throw around a corner, or in this case something you run into at a cinema.

    Just alien to me, and I don't see anything positive about the idea of parallel communities going forward.

    Bizarre, really!

    That says more about you than about any film though

    The machete incident happened in the Birmingham area, both London and Birmingham have had a huge increase in first and second generation Africans from war zones like Somalia in the last twenty years, this is the result of New Labour's mental immigration policies, add the 2008 bank crash and austerity and this is the sort of thing that results.

    Isn't this all down to the ever so wonderful cultural music genre (not) known as 'grime'?

    Of all the horrible sounding Brit accents (and some of them are lovely) the one the urban black guys have is the most annoying, any show featuring it is an immediate switch off. And I'd rather go deaf than hear Dizee Rascal rap or any grime music.

    They need a police force more like the US over there to sort out all these stabbin c*nts

    What, have them go around shooting black people? There is a lot of police forces in the world that the English police force could aspire to be like, IMO the Americans aren't one of them.

    Why do Black people Kill So Many Black People ?

    Is this some sort of Self Racism ?

    Only a pig-ignorant idiot could refuse to see the very thing in front of his eyeballs.

    Let me make this real special for you.

    Black swans and white swans inhabit a lake. White swans have an unknown genetic disorder and they are dying. ONLY the white swans are dying.

    In comes detective genius to narrow down the most basic, basic, basic, basic, basic, basic, VISUAL identifier...

    "jeez, I dunno, it seems it could be any of the swans at risk here. Complete mystery!"

    Notwithstanding that all things run deeper than sheer visualisation, to be so utterly, purposefully ignorant of the most basic of observations... Unbelievable. I just will not accept that a functioning human brain is that faulty. Impossible.

    So no, my observation of reality says nothing of me beyond the fact I have eyeballs. You, on the other hand, it's an essay in dysfunctional social malevolence.

    One has to ask is it time that machetes and large hunting knifes were banned?

    Unless we make all food soft and bitesized such a knife ban would only control the style of knives getting used for the stabbings.

    Per capita of course it's going to be, the UK is 90% white and British.

    Go and live in some crap part of London (like I have) and you can walk the walk as opposed to talking the talk, where are you posting from? Gorey?

    Yeah that certainly SOUNDS like textbook racism... but maybe that's just my dysfunctional social malevolence speaking.

    No. Only an idiot would blame music for gang violence. The genre you are thinking of is drill, and no, that isn't to blame either.

    Its like the US preachers in the 80's blaming video games and rap/metal music for gang violence.

    Black music is extremely violent and misogynistic. The lyrics are all about drugs,violence and refer to women as whores and generally glorify all the negative things that decent society objects to. Dressing like gangsters and encouraging young lads to aspire to be gangsters is a pathetic thing to do and should be called out as such. Black men have a notoriety for domestic violence and rape. That's not racism, take a look at Africa, it's endemic and seen as a cultural norm for men to beat and sexually assault their partners.

    Oh all parts of Africa are exactly the same and can be generalized. I presume Irish are just like Roma Gypsies because they are all in Europe and all the Europe is exactly the same.

    When 'The Warriors" was first screened in New York around 1980, there were policemen on hand in some cinemas.

    New York had a chronic gang problem and the movie kinda glorified them.

    That is definitely racism. Anyway, I'm Irish, so I better go. Have a busy day of acting like Conor McGregor and setting car bombs under English reg cars.

    It is well established that conor has wigger issues. Listen; hibbidy pop is a a pox and a blight on society. Kids take to it like flies on talentless muck it’s been that way for at least a generation of what are now adults and shows no sign of letting up. It is extremely disconcerting going forward.

    Drill, grime or whatever the shouty Landan postcode ethnic nonsense is, does have a level of accountrability in this.

    Earlier this year South London rap duo Skengdo x AM were convicted of breaching a (sensible) injunction that banned them from performing drill tracks that named particular places, events or people, or that could be understood as distressing or violent In May 30 music videos were (wisely) removed by YouTube at the request of the Metropolitan Police. One gang/group 1011, who were later handed an injunction that meant they had to obtain police permission before recording new music. And so on and so on....

    Even calling it music, is offensive to actual true great arists, Al Green & Jimi H would vomit at such toilet-tuneage.
    It's essentially one gang shouting out to challenge another gang and vice-versa, usually hooded and adorned with weaponary in the videos.

    The audio vomit that is bluestory (now widely banned), features two pals caught up in a postcode gang war in South London and contains guns, swords and drugs. Classy eh?
    It includes many flashy music video-style interludes. Music is an integral part of this claptrap.

    To claim it isn't complimetary or an accessory to the on-going London knfie crime epidemic is simply idiotic.

    Who's this "our"?

    Now the post in question was pretty ridiculous with just "black music" - there are several genres of black music, most of which are brilliant.

    But they're right about a lot of rap/hip hop. Obnoxiously sexist and violence glorifying.
