Don't be fucking stupid! If you live on a working class estate, where the majority of people living there are black, then chances are that the majority of crime will be done by black people. It goes without saying. If you live on an area where the majority of crime is done by middle-class black people then you are obviously living in an estate that is an exception to every sociological rule I have ever heard of. In fact, if this is true and all crime on your estate is caused by black yuppies then please tell me and I'll go and fill out my BNP membership form immediately. I am a white minority in a predominantly black and asian area. Most crime is commited by blacks in my area (some are racially motivated. Indians vs. Pakistanis; Blacks vs. Asians; Carribeans vs. Africans) but I think you must take into account, I am the only white person in my group of friends. In fact, I am one of only a handful of whites in my area.
In conclusion, I am from a single parent, white family in a black and asian majority community in the inner city of London. I was born here and lived here for just over 16 years now. Also, I think that playing loud music or mugging someone (I assume because of the fact that they are not exactly rolling in cash) doesn't quite deserve getting the shit kicked out of you by facists or police (usually the same person). Just to add what could be a slightly more controversial point, shouldn't we welcome middle-class people to help fight in the class struggle?
