I see they are still using that fast digital clock. It must have been about 80 seconds fast tonight as it changed to say 22:00 during the credits!

Thanks for your input Master Yoda.

Now I must admit, that was funny.

Tonight's first two 'crimes' involved black on black and black on white crime.
Are the producers of the programme closet BNP supporters?


Why the quotation marks around the word crime? Are you suggesting that the shooting of some innocent guy who got mixed up in a bank robbery isn't a crime? Perhaps next month the producers should ensure that the only crimes featured proportionately reflect the various backgrounds of people in the UK... Rolling Eyes

TBH, bloodmakesnoise or whatever the hell you call yourself, prats like you claiming that every report where a black party is held to blame against a white party is an example of racism is exactly what causes racist outfits like the BNP to keep going.

Truly not supporting racism or discrimination means that it's irrelevant which ethnicity is involved - whether or not the whole programme was about blacks carrying out crime against whites or whites carrying out crime against blacks or whatever should not be something which enters your head as someone who champions true equality.

As it is, you are the stereotypical politically correct non racist - not showing enough examples of white people committing crime on black people is racist, showing example of black people commiting crime on white people is racist, you just want a programme which does nothing but brands all white people as racist scum and all black people as victims.

People like you are what incites racists to hold their extreme views - I find it somewhat laughably ironic that often the biggest people who claim to champion ethnic equality (meaning, give everything to black people because they are black and only acknowledge white-against-black racism as racism - in other words, people after politically correct equality and not true equality) are often the biggest driving force behind racism, both with them basically being racist themselves (although they would call it 'positive discrimination' and with them not willing to accept that black people can be racist towards white people too).

And to claim that the BBC is racist because of the order a couple of reports were presented on crimewatch is laughable considering that crimewatch goes out on the channel with an ident featuring black, wheelchair bound people playing basketballand dancing to a hip hop soundtrack.

They've covered pretty much every base with that one - they've got foreign music so they can't be accused of being insular, they've got black people so they can't be accused of being racist, and to top it off they've got people in wheelchairs playing a sport and dancing so they can't be accused of discriminating against the disabled - it's the most politically correct piece of rubbish this country has seen in many years, so I doubt they can be branded as racist.

cwathen, it's near certain that bloodmakesnoise doesn't believe the argument he is putting forward in this thread. He's just trolling. He's usually the first to complain about so-called political correctness.
