"NO CHILD IS BORN A CRIMINAL, IT IS THE ENVIRONMENT IN WHICH THE CHILD GROW THAT DETERMINES WHO THE CHILD WILL BE". (ANONYMOUS)
I don't think singling out a perticular culture for been the source of these bad behavoirs will do us any good. we have to tackle these problems as our problems and forget about the culture that started them. In fact i don't think there is any culture in the world that does not have bad and unacceptable behaviors.
Most of these uneeded acts by youngster: lack of respect for elders, not having a clear purpose in life and so on are in many way cause by the societies. The things we see, the things we hear and the laws we live by, all play a great role in this situation. |

I think that African Youth need to be proactively engaged into participating in programmes which serve a purpose. For example many of these youth have been failed by the system. The national Curriculum has failed to enhance their creativity or give them practical skills. Many of the Youth are good at music, dance,visual art, atheletes, football but don't have the opportunity to engage in those types of activities and to learn other skills, some my have emotional and behaviour issues. They have been left to their own devices and the road has become their family and being on the street attracks trouble being stop and searched indiscriminately constantly being harassed by the Police whose past time seems to be to harass young African males from primary school upwards.
There is also a need for the Youth to acknowledge their cultural identity because a tree without roots just floats about in the air. Guns have flooded into the community and knives but the Africa Diaspora community doesn't manufacture weapons so more pressure and police resources needs to be put into catching the suppliers.
Another problem is many of the police come from the suburbs and aren't familiar with the community and are over zealous with racil profiling African men.
Another aspect of British government failure has been that money targetted to the Africa Diaspora community has been cyphoned off by the white middle classes who have not fully engaged with Youth.
These youth need wider opportunities in fact they could also do with taking a trip out of Babylon to Africa or the Caribbean to reorientate themselves. So that when they return to Britain they can be more focused.

i agree with sister omega some of the young males need a wake up call, a atrip to africa would be shock to some of them. but the last sooting was a shock t ome that they could come into the home and shoot the boy also some of the youths are know the police and have never been told off |

A lot of innocent youth and grown men are stopped going about their lawful business or picked up accused of being implicated in crimes that they know nothing about. Without being given written reasons for stop and search. This only polarises the issue further. There needs to be a balance stroke between crime prevention and racial harassment because just picking up someone because of the colour of their skin is racism and breeds suspicion. This counterproductive because to when the confidence of the community in order to solve these heinous crimes.

| the problem with male african youth in the dispora is that they're still given more privelges bc they are male but without the responsibilty of it. africans need to stop creating serious problems for themselves. i don't see why if the females can behave why the males can't either. |

Kassma you miss the point I live in the Ineer city and primary and secondary are picked up for no other reason than their racial profile period. It sexist rubbish that females behave themselves better than males girls are also part of gangs. If girls' behaved better than males their would be no need for female prisons. Let's keep it real.

Is it not a problems for whole the kind in diaspora general and not only UK, and why diacritics between male/female ?
Truth that are there some unaccommodating ponits but generally they're all stocking in thesame blackness of their complexes world, moreover things are not much betters with the kids at home too, so this is global disappointments for them all. |

mbay it is a problem for the whole of the disapora, but until we get our act together and work as one it will stay that way.
i live in a multi cultaral environment and have watched how the landscape has changed, yes there are opportunities for black children but i look at who is running some of the project and i would not trust them. some of the money is lost before the youth see the benefit. also some of the cutbacks in schools are not helping, we went to the musuems, swimming, art places, concerts.

Jambo I agree with you 100%. That is the crux of the problem some of the Youth are bored and are literally acting out crazy.

the sun newspaper friday issue have on its front page a young huddy point a finger at the conservative party leader .the sun is trying to make fun at mr cameroon for making the now imfamous quote of hugging a huddy. they are banishing any liberal blood in young cameroon .
the guy is trying to make the conservatives a caring party but i have my doubths on mr cameroon's real intententions.
on the inside page a young racist shot three black guys with a pistol.he said he is bnp and wants to kill all blacks .he shoot at one mr camara in a tube station.
god help us .its seems if humans are fade-up of each other.liberalism is dead. all the liberals do is mouth off about human right but when action times comes to restrain the right ,they are no where to be found. |

you do have a point but i'm talking about african kids or kids with african parents. its hard to imagine african females, especially young females being in gangs. and if they are, what has this world come to |

Of course there are African girl's mixed up in gang culture who have Continental African parents.
Kassma remember there are 53 countries in Africa it is a very big continent. Andwhen the children are in a different environment will adapt to it. So its important for them to have some positive influences and a purpose in life.

COME ON GUYS MOST OF THESE CRIMES MENTIONED IN THIS TOPIC ARE NOT COMMITTED BY AFRICANS ALONE,. AND IF WE SAY AFRICAN WHO DO WE MEAN?DO WE MEAN BLACKS IN GENERAL? FOR I KNOW SOME BLACKS WHO DON'T WANT TO BE ASSOCIATED OR CALL AFRICANS E.G SOME AFRO-CARREBIANS WHY NOT AFRICAN CARREBIANS
FACTS SHOWS THAT MOST CRIMES COMMITTED IN LONDON, BIRMINGHAM,MANCHESTER,LEEDS,ETC ETC IF THE CULPRITS ARE BLACKS WE ALL KNOW WHERE OR ORIGINALY THEY FROM, MOSTLY JAMAICA OR THE WEST INDIES I AM NOT DENYING THAT AFRICANS YOUTHS ARE NOT INVOLVED BUT IF THEY ARE ITS OF A MINOR SCALE.GANGS AND GUN CULTURE IN OUR AFRICAN COMMINUTIES IN THE DIASPORA THATS NEW, DEFINATELY NOT IN OUR GAMBIAN COMMINUTIES.
I WILL AGREE WITH EVERYONE IN THIS TOPIC IF WE ARE REFERING TO ALL BLACK PEOPLE AS AFRICANS BUT FACT KNOWS THAT THEIR ARE SOME BLACK PEOPLE IN SOME COMMINUTIES WHO DON'T AND WON'T OR EVEN HAVE ANYTHING TO DO WITH AFRICANS OR AFRICA AS A CONTINENT AND IN THIS I AM REFERING TO SOME JAMIACANS I HAVE MET AND HONESTLY HAD A DISSCUSION WITH SOME WHO HOLD THE ABOVE MENTALITY THEY EVEN CALL US "BOBOOS"THATS WHY PETER TOSH SAID "NO MATTER WHERE YOU COME FROM AS LONG AS YOU A BLACKMAN YOU AN AFRICAN"
MOST AFRICANS AND I MEAN ORIGINAL AFRICANS IN THE DIASPORA ARE HARD WORKING,HONEST AND LOYAL PEOPLE, LOYAL TO THEIR EMPLOYEES, LOYAL TO THEIR FAMILIES, AND BY LARGE TO THEIR COMMINUTIES.THEY DO THEIR BEST TO EDUCATE AND BRING UP THERE KIDS AS HONEST DECENT AND LAW ABIDING CITIZENS WHICH IS NOT EASY ESPICIALLY FOR AFRICAN PARENTS.

I agree on that. The gang problem here in Sweden is mostly about kids from middle east and turkey not africans. gambians can be proud of their kids here.. |
