London Looters Were Largely Black - An Honest Look At The Facts [ 31 August 2011
]
QUOTE
The racial and ethnic make-up of the
2011 rioters
The mainstream British media and
politicians are desperate to claim that the recent riots and looting have no
racial context and that it is a multicultural event. (In fact, they have
unwittingly reduced it to a black/white event because Asians are omitted in
their narrative). This is absurd as anyone can see from the TV and Press
coverage of the actual riots that the vast majority of those taking part are
black. However, although this is shriekingly obvious no one has published any
breakdown by race or ethnicity of those taking part. This is an attempt to
fill the gap by analysing the names of those charged with offences.
The Daily Telegraph compiled a list of 466 people charged with offences relating to the UK riots which began on 7 August 2011 who had appeared in court by 11 August. The Telegraph story is at http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/uknews/crime/8698443/UK-riots-suspected-looters-statistics-and-court-cases.html.
Of the 466 people, 295 are named, the others being those under the age of 18 or those suspected to be under the age of 18 (under 18s cannot be named in British courts except where the court deems it reasonable) plus a few for whom the Telegraph did not have names. I have listed the 297 named people below. Under them are the facts which need to taken into account when assessing the racial and ethnic origins of the rioters................
Using these criteria as a guide, I estimate
that at worst 70 of the 295 could have been white. I say at worst primarily
because there is no way of testing the question of whether some of those with
traditional British names are blacks from the West Indies. Of those who are
white, a significant minority could be recent immigrants.

Blacks kicked things off. Others joined in. I am surprised by the number of
Islamics who were fingered. The
Telegraph, to its credit gave us the facts. Some newspapers tell some of the
truth some of the time. Mr Henderson, the author of this piece is not part of
the
Main Stream Media which is why he can it like it is.
