It Seems

[TWR]

each crime program I see, they all seem to show a black person getting stopped / arrested, am I imagining this or is it right?

[ivor4781]

because its a fact blacks commit more crime than whites

[ummmm]

Or a fact that blacks are more likely to live in deprived poor areas.

Do you count everyone who is not white as black?

I see a multitude of colours getting stopped/arrested when I watch a crime program.

[TWR]

I must have a different channel than you T.

[ladybirder]

Ah, you must have a colour TV TWR:-)

[Mamyalynne]

I watch those Police Camera Action type shows all the time, all sorts of everybody on the ones I watch.

[TWR]

Never thought about that Lady, you are right.

[Just-Jude]

Innocent blacks are targeted by the police all the time.

This one had his windscreen smashed in because of his colour.

Racism, pure and simple!

[ummmm]

And deprivation leads to crime.

[TWR]

I'm asking what I posted Dive.

[Mamyalynne]

It will largely depend on the demographics of the are the programme is set, also how the scenes are chosen for the end result.

So you may end up watching a programme with more black people one episode and more white people the next.

[ummmm]

It has got a lot to do with poverty.

[EDDIE51]

At one time (think it has improved now) 85% of 'stop and search' was on black males between 15 and 25.

[ummmm]

Yes Eddie...so more likely to be caught up to no good.

No matter what colour the criminal, some are just plain dumb !
