Marginalised kids will end up in prison

Institutions and individuals have no concept that their actions, attitudes and behaviour might have come from a basis of a perceived superiority that they have inherited. The worst result of this continued marginalisation is murder, e.g. Menson, Lawrence, Walker.

Supremacists simply do not wish to apologise. We could honour the plight of Black people in Slavery. How we do that I do not now, but someone suggested some monuments.

This and some fresh funding for marginalised minority ethnic people might go some way in tackling the current issues of cohesion and integration. How we keep Black and Asian kids off the streets and from offending is key. Otherwise, all we will do is simply imprison an already marginalised Black youth.

Breaking barriers and getting Asian kids into professional football and rugby is another way forwards I guess.
