      Just wanna say, the term "absent fathers" seems to imply that said fathers have done a runner from their responsibilities. However, it happens for a whole spectrum of reasons. Sometimes the mother isn't 'behaving herself' and so he has no choice. Sometimes they just don't get along and unfortunately the primary care giver defaults to the mother.

Many black people have come here in Windrush etc and own their own homes and worked incredibly hard but many have also experienced incredible amounts of racism which is not reported in stats. For the most part we are absolutely doing our best to create an inclusive Britain but as I said some people are still struggling with racism and the effects of racism from generations before. Let's just keep working together to make this wonderful country a place where all of us can live without fear and support each other in love. I believe its possible

We experienced racism from both sides and my former wife from every conceivable direction! I would suggest that we are much better in the uk than we were in that time.

Like I say, you have a right to your opinion, and it is ONLY an opinion, though you claim to know. When someone is so sure of something, one would imagine that they may have verifiable facts to back it up. I’m afraid that, though I’m a left-leaning liberal, the facts are indisputable, the facts and the statistics back up the content of the report. I actually read it, I admit I was also a little cynical, that it may be tendentious in the least, but it isn’t. And, though Mercy is a conservative, it does not mean that she’s incapable of balance. Politically, I’m very non-conservative, but I believe in a balanced approach to important subjects. Race suffers from bigoted opinions from either side of the argument. One thing Mercy cannot be accused of is skin colour-based racism.

    As Neil alluded to there is a seemingly wilful effort to lump together people who may be of the same racial group, but who have vastly different cultures and traditions. The same thing appears to have happened fairly recently in the US where they now refer to the various Asian ethnic groups as AAPI, Asian American, Pacific Islanders. And apart from race there is of course the ever growing and ubiquitous LGBTQI+. These acronyms usually originate from far left so called advocacy groups, but what you need to remember is that ultimately, and usually purely, these people are trying to accumulate power for their own ends. By placing people who may have little in common with each other, indeed some of whom historically have been hostile towards each other, or who's mere existence contradicts each other, see LGBTQI+, there is an attempt at creating voting blocks that can be controlled.

I went to a mostly white lower school, where the only mixed race child in the class received quite a lot of abuse. The rubbish teacher, who couldn't control the class was mostly to blame. She left and the new teacher clamped down on it. Nowadays a lot of racism is between ethnic minorities. A few years ago, I witnessed a Chinese waiter being racially abused by some black customers and more recently an Pakistani telling someone to bugger off back to Bangladesh. BLM have also been responsible for a lot of racism.

There is no Pakistani or English "race." The word you are looking for is xenophobia. Many such attitudes are deeply rooted in the histories of the ethnic groups in question.

    As an Arab from the very bosom of Arabia. I would really like to see exhibitions about slavery here, and hopefully in Europe one day. The word “Slave” is derived from “Slav” after all, and for a very good reason. I wish I had the energy and will to translate the huge, 800-1200 year old books in Arabic, written during the Islamic Golden Age, when economic purchasing power allowed Muslims in general, to be extremely picky in their tastes, and how such tastes impacted slave markets across the Islamic World, from Cordoba in Islamic Spain, to as far as Tashkent and Samarkand in Central Asia, in-regard to supply and demand. My grandfather who passed away as recently as June 1990, when I was almost 2 years old, had a Georgian slave nanny, and he was born in 1902. My mother always told me, how her own grandfather told her, that they always had Georgian, Armenian, and Circassian white slaves for as far as the family memory can go. Not to mention the Germanic Visigothic and Slavic slaves some of my ancestors had owned in Cordoba, Seville, and Granda between the 7th and the 14th centuries. Which btw, were all sold to them by extremely specific and professional slavers, experts in their own right in such a profession, known to us as the “Radhanites Jews” or Vikings.
    Btw, all of this slavery business went on here as late as the early 1960s lol. It only stopped, on the behest and pressure from Great Britain and the United States of America. Threatening to cut off support for the local oil industry, which back then meant, not only buying it, but rather taking away the expertise of the white engineers away from us, which made all that we have today possible. While we’re at it, we need to have a museum for those great American and British men too.

    This conversation comes from intellectual debate through properly conducted research. If you were reading this and didn’t know the ethnicity of either person you would realise these are very enlightening findings.

    You can't force people to accept ouysiders as their own.
    To value your own people over others does not make you bad. It is not a moral wrong. You value your family over friends, friends over strangers

    The critical but largely ignored skill for career progression is communication. If you can't communicate effectively then you will struggle. It's as simple as that. This is predominantly driven by parents, communities and peers. Race is irrelevant.

      Kids with successful parents tend to learn to communicate effectively. They also learn confidence, ambition and drive. It does not guarantee success nor does it exclude those who don't have this upbringing. But it is certainly an advantage. And of course the elephant in the room is intelligence which is hereditary. It is very clear why there is a social divide and this social divide exists in all cultures. Yes people from any background should be able to progress, and they do. But the majority will not and to assign this to racism is just another example of people using the race card to get access to unfair advantage through positive discrimination.

    "Detachment from reality" is a perfect description of the far-left.

      think that statement could apply to people on the far-right too with all the conspiracy theories' and what not.
