I am not going to quibble about what the exact ratio is, since neither of us have exact figures right now, but I am going to bet its much higher than just a 2:1 ratio.
Unemployment amongst British blacks is much higher than amongst whites in the UK, and when blacks are employed, they have much lower paying jobs, and are hardly ever in executive positions. UK backs tend to live more in the council flats in the inner cities where crime is high, etc etc. The Guardian could do a whole series on these issues, but no, they'd much rather trash America every time.
I know the Guardian very well. I used to read that paper every day for years when I lived there. They are more anti-American than any newspaper I have ever seen, and I am fed up with their nonsense.
“And the reason is illuminating: the toxic loser-culture that pervades the ‘African-American’ experience is much less of a factor in Britain: our Jamaican, Sierra-Leonian and other African-extraction citizens do not have such colossal chips on their shoulders”
Look, we have had at least nine African Americans who have been CEO’s of Fortune 500 companies, including the CEO's of some of our biggest companies, like American Express and Xerox Corporation, two of Americans most prestigious companies. As far as I can recall, I have never seen any black guy head any of Britain's top companies before, not the FT 100 companies.
As for the Jamaicans in Britain you are going on about, I still remember them carrying out some serious riots in Brixton(South London), because they thought the British police were too racist and had been harassing them. Both the US and the UK have had issues with race, but to hear the Guardian tell it, America is the racist country.
