Steve70 Posted August 14, 2011 Share Posted August 14, 2011 Most people know who the historian David Starkey is and now he has made some very provocative comments regarding the riots in the UK http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/uknews/crime/8700109/Historian-Starkey-in-racism-row-over-riot-comments.html Now while i dont completley agree with him, I do think when he said white is now black he meant the growing group of white youths that try to speak with a type of Jamaican patois accent and follow a gang culture portrayed by american rap / pop stars. I do get what he is trying to say and it does sound a little racist, or are we just too PC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happ Hazzard Posted August 14, 2011 Share Posted August 14, 2011 He is right, and PC is just an excuse to close down debate. Black culture has had a terrible effect on this country, it needs to be dismissed and children should be raised as British, regardless of their heritage. If they do not want to be British, they should move elsewhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve70 Posted August 14, 2011 Author Share Posted August 14, 2011 I dont think its black culture but American culture that these white youths try to copy, and perhaps its because they don't realy know much about their own ( English ) culture ?? I disagree with black culture having a terrible effect but think its American, rap/pop star gang culture.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
just_words Posted August 14, 2011 Share Posted August 14, 2011 From watching that Channel 4 documentary about rap / hip hop, it sounded like you can only do hip hop if your black... It also purported that virtually everything in the modern world is thanks to rap... Good documentary though! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
