Look at certain estates in London where there's gang war between different african immigrants
But that can't be possible, blacks are all "brothers"! ;)
And to imply that all Africans carry guns is just preposterous. It's the same nonsense as when I would say that all Poles are drunk, uneducated rapists only good for picking fruit.
Unfortunately, there's a lot of truth in the "drunk Pole" stereotype :)
Few people would be stupid enough to suggest that all Africans carry guns, but we (Poles) have been over here for 70 years with virtually no Polish crime problem until recently, and yet there is still NO sign of an "Operation xxxx" to deal with "Gun Crime in the Polish community". We also came from (and moved into) poverty, but we were taught to just get on with life and work hard to get out of poverty. Others could learn from our example.
But the rise in Polish crime is what happens when you start bringing over a country's worst, and that's what's happened since 2004. Unemployable and uneducated in Poland, unemployable and uneducated in the UK - just claiming more benefits!
Additionally, few people would be naive enough to suggest that gun crime is only a black thing, but it is certainly true to say that there is lots of glorification of guns in black culture. I've been to a lot of clubs/raves/festivals etc and I've seen a lot of bands/artists/DJs etc. WITHOUT EXCEPTION, there is only one group of people I've ever heard chatting about how they want to "cap" someone, who brag about the guns they carry, who wear gold Uzis around their necks, who actually carry guns onstage or in the crowd, or think it's cool to wear one of those "Longsight M13" t-shirts with the dead body outlined on the ground to show how "ghetto" their area is. No prizes for guessing who they are.
I'm sure that you or someone else will say "but what about Clint Eastwood and John Wayne?". Well, the difference is, I've never heard of anyone getting shot by a John Wayne or Clint Eastwood fan in places I've lived in the past, but I've heard of plenty of guns fired by fans of "urban" music!
