I would say every major city in Britain, Birmingham was pretty bad in the 80s

We are quite racist, but most of it is the older generations, the type who grew up. and racism is mainly around the big built up areas in england.

 

[KevinJamesFan]

Things have improved in a lot of areas but with the current state I can see it becoming as bad as it was in the past

i grew up with multi national friends and i have to admit they are the nicest guys ever, they also work hard and the only difference is their accent.

 

[britishheel]

and im scared of that with the whole world

 

[KevinJamesFan]

Most of my friends were white but like as I aged I kind of hanged around my black friends and I wouldn't say it was because of safety but really just we were getting put through similar shit

 

[britishheel]

i do get why you would do that.

 

[KevinJamesFan]

But one of best friends as a kid father was a full bonehead, like I wasn't allowed in their apartment and when he turned 14 he completely charged into a shadow of his father who might I say I'm pretty sure is still in prison

 

[britishheel]

thats not cool

 

[Legit Boss]

what sin't

 

[KevinJamesFan]

People like to create a false reality when they can't find hope

 

[Legit Boss]

uhh.. okay

 

[KevinJamesFan]

And after Thatcher introduced neo-liberalism it took a lot of the working class hope and then they decided to blame immagration for losing their job instead of the reality being now companies can outsource their occupation

I know what youre on about. i am ashamed by this country for that idealism.
