Firstly, being an Indian myself, thank you very much for the compliment.
Blacks ARE successful.. Let me put it this way. Jews and Indians have their strengths and blacks have their strengths. While Indians and Jews may be good at things like commerce and medicine, blacks are good at sports and music.
You say that most of the businesses are owned by jews and hindus, but how many jewish and hindus would you see winning awards at the Olympics and performing at MTV.
So we should appreciate each others strengths and weaknesses.

Now I have read a second question from you I see that you are simply an ignorant rascist. Not all blacks are Christian and there are plenty of Christian Indians. With your own lack of education I am wondering what your own contribution to the economy is. The population of the UK is not 20% black. Your post would be more interesting and liable to stimulate debate if it contained factual information not just your own made up stats.

Im UK, white and couldnt care less about colour. Ive been raised in a multi cultural society and never known any difference than mixed race. But I get really tired with this 'black' thing. When something goes wrong for me I dont start quipping on about being white, Lose this colour crap. We dont even see it until someone starts harping on about it. Life is as good as you make it. You work hard, you reap the rewards. You go round acting like some kind of rapper gangster.......you reap the rewards! Just dont complain. The world is full of colours and I respect anyone who respects me!

Wow...here in the USA it is similar...they had the whole slavery thing here, so i dont know whats going on with you guys in britain.....
i cant explain it, but its a similar dynamic here...but then here everybody wants to be like black people in the way they dress and speak...you guys call them "chavs" like lady soverign.
The mexicans sneaking into this country are gaining on them economically in the relatively short time period they have been here.
I think they begin to internalize when everybody speaks poorly of them, and there you have the result

I think Indians may be seen as more successful than blacks becuase generally speaking, in Asian culture the parents are more dominant and make sure that their children perform 100% to the best of their ability. I've had Asian friends whilst I was at college and their parents never let them leave the house! If they did not sudy, they were seen as 'faliures'

Lack of work ethic? They will say of course that they have been discriminated against and there may be some truth in that, but despite the chips on their shoulders about the racism card, how come Indians, Chinese, Jews, Pakistanis, etc, have all ovecome so-called racial discrimination to become successful business people?
Black people who study and work hard tend to do well, so what is the excuse for the rest of them? By the way, this is not a racist comment, as there are many white people who don't work hard and equally don't do well at anything!

I'm glad that you asked this question because it proves what I already knew about the UK; that it is full of racists like you who like to look down on Americans and pretend that somehow British people are more civilized and less prejudiced than Americans. Yes, yes....You have more interracial unions there than US does but what does that prove?
The majority of those blacks that you are criticizing left their homelands, former British colonies in parts of Africa, The Caribbean, etc.(lands where they were used and oppressed by the British). I know this firsthand. The British taught those blacks back in the colonies that England was the "motherland" and made sure that schoolteachers beat Africa out of them. When those same blacks migrated to the UK in their quest for a better life than the crumbs that the British left for them back in the colonies, they were welcomed with signs in apartment buildings saying - "No dogs, No Irish, No Darkies/Blacks." I know people who still cry about those memories
To make matters worse, blacks were used to work on the British railroads but when they tried to secure employment beyond menial jobs, they were denied more adequate and meaningful employment in many sectors. I bristle at your racist comments after spending years listening to the sad stories of many older black people from the Caribbean who left sunshine and blue seas to go to cold, grey England only to return broken and in frail physical and mental health because of the oppressive environment to which they were subjected. Some blacks have made it and many will pretend that all is well, but the truth is there for the world to see.
You are trying to make a comparison between Jews and blacks. Jews have also suffered tremendously, but it's been a long time since they were slaves, and when many of them fled Nazi Germany they fled with Jewellry that could be converted to cash. I don't know any blacks who had one piece of gold to convert to food. The average black man or woman leaving the colonies arrived in the UK with a tattered suitcase that contained mostly the dust from the colonies and an elusive dream of a better life.
Furthermore, the UK is still years behind in terms of economic parity as it relates to blacks. Blacks find it nearly impossible to secure loans, to start up the most basic business. They lag behind in terms of employment opportunities, in general. Until very recently, you could not even turn on the television and see any black faces. Many blacks who have taken the time to secure a sound education in the British system are still unable to find serious employment because doors remain closed to them. Would this not contribute to frustration? If you played by the rules and found that the cards were switched on you once again, would you not be inclined to respond in an antisocial manner?
While it is true that America has a long way to go, it is years ahead of the UK. While you waste time gloating about blacks and their lack of progress along with the nonsense about black men liking white British women (You must be blind if you don't see that white British men are marrying black women in droves), you should use your energy and superior attitude to do something for society. The late President John F. Kennedy said "Ask not what your country can do for you. Ask what you can do for your country." Instead of obsessing about black people who are struggling for survival, what have you done for your country or the world lately?

wow yur gonna make people mad with this one :P
it's a touchy issue, but it's true. oftentime you'll see them blame it on the white man, keepin him down...but what abt the indians and the jews? i live in maryland, which is right next to the capitol of America, and i neighboring city, Baltimore, is renowned for the poor performance of dominantly black schools. the way i see it...
what it really comes down to is: they dont give a damn. they have all the opportunity they need, but they just dont care. a lot of them are content to live a life of poverty, filled with crime and violence. who needs an edjucation when you can grow up to be a drug dealer?
who knows the why behind it, but that's what it is, plain and simple apathy
