Do black boys need better role models?

They also have easier entry. A girl my friend knows got into JP Morgan just for being female and half asian, she had the qualifications but didn't need to do anything at the interview but turn up.

Lol, well as long as they do this, ill just exploit it as a black guy, since I have lower qualifications than my white counterparts.

Because my "potential" 1st Class degree from Cambridge will be scaled higher than the other guys degree, it puts me in the best position according to your logic.

do you think that's the same for med/dentist/law schools?

or university-entry in general?

1+2) It's not contradictory. They have a lower chance of being prosecuted, but commit far more crime as a % when compared to white people.
3) They launch these events because black people don't bother to apply through the normal route, which they are perfectly eligible to do, but if you can get in easier then why bother? The joke is that if 2 people go for a job, let's say person A and person B, then the best person will get the job. But wait a minute, nobody that's the same colour as person B bothers to apply, so regardless of if person A is better we have to give person B the job so we don't look racist. JOKE.
4) Yet again, I AM NOT SAYING THAT WHITE PEOPLE DO NOT COMMIT CRIME. I am saying that a far greater number of black youths are allowed out after dark at young ages with nothing to do.
5) You don't really have a reply worth noting. O look Shameless has portrayed white people committing crime and taking hard drugs, that gives me the right to behave in such a way. Yeah right.

do black people need higher or more qualifications than their white counterpart in order to get into the same position?

If you got a 1st from Cambridge you'd be well in for pretty much any job in the country.

i've recently been having exchanges on this forum with a guy who graduated with a first from cambridge and he is still unemployed

Congratz, you've successfully diverted all of my comments. At least you havent given the impression your racist, you just seem overtly naive - almost to the point of denying the existence of institutional racism in this country. As the poster above said, we still need to push forward but pretending the problems arent there isnt the right way to go about it.
As for the media, i could offer you countless examples.



Now before you get the wrong impression, i have nothing against any race creed or colour, neither am i some raving lunatic hell bent on accusing everyone and anyone of racism. It just troubles me when people are happy to attribute the cause of problems of many black people, solely to themselves.

Nobody said it would be easy, but from what I can see black people are more prone towards crime if it means they have to work less. Gangs are pre-dominantly black, drug dealers are too, as are pimps. To consistantly blame this on circumstances outside of their control is to let it continue, we need to tell them to fix up and sort it out for their own good.

How many gangs in this country have you seen? How many drug dealers in this country have you seen? How many pimps in this country have you seen? See what i mean about harmful stereotypes?

I agree with your last point though, as well as understanding the circumstances we're in, we cant just let it dictate us.

What course? I hear English is quite hard to get employed with.

Find it slightly amusing that people label drugs with black people. I bet the majority of dealers, who get the shipments (first step dealers if you like) and distribute it to gang leaders on the streets (taking The Wire as an example) are white. Same thing with guns, there's more white middle class involvement with that than you realise.

On a serious note the black people that are the good role models simply are not going to be promoted as the media doesn't want to paint this image.
