That's not remotely true. I wouldn't have a problem if it were true, but it just isn't


Whites are 10 times richer in the UK then?
There is no question whites are far richer than blacks in the UK. Heck I lived in the UK for years.
Instead of trying to promote the ‘America is racist” spiel that The Guardian has been pushing for decades, maybe they should take a closer look at home, and deal with their own race problems.

I’ve lived in the UK all my life. This 5 to 1 ratio is simply not the case. It wouldn’t be a problem if it was, but it is just not true. Now: 2 to 1, I could believe.

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. Or perhaps they don’t form 10% of the population and therefore don’t form such a powerful entitlement group - I don’t know.

We have other problems: and our entitlement underclass has its own demographic profile. We call it ‘Scotland’. But this self-selecting angry black underclass that refuses opportunity - that’s a uniquely American pathology.

Also: the mere existence of a political “Black Caucus” in the US political system - that’s a dynamic that just isn’t found in Britain.

Hope this was helpful. I’m not saying we’re better in the UK, I’m just saying we have different issues.

And, upper-class whites have been richer for centuries!
