Sydenham Town Forum

Shall we just say that black and white were evidentially working together in perfect harmony. Just the wrong sort of work.

Racism is one thing I will not tolerate on this forum. Move away or the thread closes.

Huh? What racism? Nobody said anything racist. This particular accusation seems ...

You still haven't told me what you're getting your panties in a wad over. So how the hell can I be playing innocent?! Over to you, again.

No.

I'd rather you just say what you mean instead of the thinly veiled stuff.

What thinly veiled stuff? What the hell are you talking about?!

Amen to that!

Do your own math.

Yup, that figures.

Learning a trade? Gainful employment? Now that is something I can get behind!

Still sore over that photo picture of your "youths" I attached, huh?

Though I'm puzzled how you came to the conclusion that all these black folk you shared a train ride with were all commuting to minimum wage employment. I suppose you asked each and every one of them, huh? And why the hell do you ...

Here's a picture of what my concealed carry permit allows me to carry in public back in the US. It's .45 Glock, and it gives me all the peace of mind I need.

She was walking up from Sydenham station via Kirkdale and noticed three black 15-25 year olds with hoodies following her.

Hey, careful now. You don't wanna be accused of racism. You're best off calling them "youths".

I'm sorry to hear about your friend being robbed of her valuables, but she ...

Correction: A combination of pathetic and narrow-minded. Honestly, are you this confrontational whenever someone knocks your rose-tinted specs off the tip of your nose?

It's not "shit", leaf, it's just reality. It's just a shame that you find the truth and reality too much to bear. Which is kind of pathetic, actually.

It's a shame that you had to resort to name-calling, leaf, but I'm no racist. I'm just a realist, though I can't speak for Eagle.

In my opinion, the misogynistic rap/hip hop culture seems to have legitimised passive hostility. In that a noticable percentage of young (mostly black) men seem eager to impress upon strangers they pass in the street (be it via clothing, jewellery or anything else both parties will associate with ...

Sorry, but I'm with Mikecg on this one. This country's been pumping billions into dealing with 'disadvantaged youth' (who, incidentally, seem to be the ones disadvantaging themselves). It's time they faced the consequences of their idle sense of entitlement that the Labour government seemed so eager ...

Just to reiterate what I've just seen a spokeswoman say on the news.

Parents/guardians of Sydenham: If any of your children or children under your care return home with goods valued beyond their means to purchase, it's time to ask them some tough questions. Seriously, it's your duty as parents not ...

This adds a new, more sinister dimension to what's unfolding across London:

I've so utterly incensed at this seemingly unchecked thuggery that I felt compelled to break cover and comment!

The previous (Labour) government created a society of entitlement. These riots are not a result of social imbalance but simply a taking of advantage against a police force with its boots ...
