My comment on blacks under 40 having child bus passes was meant with a bit of tongue in cheek, obviously not all of them, but seems to be 18 to 25 year olds, who seem to have a lack of respect for the laws of the land, and in reply to Hedgehog50 asking do I argue with them, I try to point out the error of their ways, but regrettably out comes the race card, Its cos I'm black init. and Transport for London's policy is they don't want to upset minority groups, so were instructed to let them travel and turn a blind eye, cos they know what goes on, but are prepared to suffer the loss for the sake of harmony, and do other passengers want to sit on the bus for twenty minutes for the police to turn up throw the individuals off knowing all they will do is wait for the next bus, in my experience passengers would normally say, come on driver I want to get home, just let him or them travel, so in the end a bus driver can't win without the support of other passengers...

This will increase resentment. Young black males can't complain about being treated differently if they continually act differently.
If I was a non black commuter that saw young black men continually fare evade, I'd form a negative opinion of them.

I'd love it if young black men decided to understand what makes a real man... it isn't being a criminal, it's behaving with dignity/humility and paying your own way. My dad reckons it's down to absent fathers in the black community... I've seen the stats... and it don't paint a great picture, compared to other ethnic groups.

For me... it's a factor of many things that hold young black males back...
* lack of role models
* a culture of criminality
* anti intellectualism

The above creates a environment of underachieving and criminality.
We're all conditioned by our environment... we have to change that... we have to make young black people that gang culture keeps you on the fringes of society... we need to help black families stay together. It pains me to say it... but the black community can be a bit selfish and blame others for their own shortcomings. Just look at the lack of black transplant donors, or the lack of black foster families.

Asian/Jews/Chinese/Eastern European all have a work ethic and see the importance in education that young black males don't.

My black side of my family mock me for doing (relatively) well in life and for going uni. When I worked as head of HR in the city... they'd take the piss, in a friendly way.. but their banter portrayed a belief that what I was doing... was something beyond their reach... when in reality... they were just as smart as I was/wasn't... but their family/culture/social circle/attitude/morals meant they had very little chance of achieving anything.
Of course... as with most people they blame others for their shortcomings.

Of course it works to an extent, for most people. They live around, and work with people of all different ethnicities and cultures, and inter-marry and have relationships.

The problem is that some people expect multi-culturalism to be a merging of all cultures, rather than a co-existence (ie too much) and others just reject the idea for differnet reasons. But for most people getting along with their neighbours and co-workers isn't a problem.

But there are people of all walks who are opposed to the idea of tolerance, interaction and co-existence because it challenges their agenda, which typically is about isolationism

What you say doesn't actually contradict what I said.

We have now sunk to a depth at which the restatement of the obvious is the first duty of intelligent men. [Orwell]

Oh, it's not too bad once you forget what it was like to have humanity.

Is it really an agenda or just a natural inclination?
If multi culture offered a clear practical benefit then I'm sure people would embrace it and set aside other more instinctual feelings about people who are different or newcomers. That is not the case. There is clear evidence that multi culture has brought mostly bother, as it always has throughout history.
Terrorists, street crime, gang culture, rape gangs, suppressed wages, religious and superstitious lunacy, organised crime, modern slavery, arranged marriages, honour killings, female mutilation, blah blah blah.
This is the stuff we see in the headlines and local papers on a regular basis so it's no good saying that these things are not specific to immigration because very little is specific. We have to deal with the here and now and those responsible.
