You sound dumb like the other poster.
You got me.. Wut is I gonna do now..
This isn't about racism olympics and just because there's no KKK, that doesn't mean it isn't in your face. Black Brits who grew up in the 60s when there was segregation in the US would disagree with you that there was no segregation in the UK because there were, "no blacks, no dogs, and no Irish" posters everywhere and they went through most of the things African Americans went through.

Not this type of legal segregation there wasn't. Signs in windows don't cut it.
I think you don't understand exactly what happened in the United States.
Even the 70s, and 80s in the UK were terrible and those who survived it know what they went through. Racism is a big problem in the UK and it has always been.
Erm... I was there and it was not 'US' terrible. Barbecues while 'strange fruit' were hanging.. Not allowed to even look at people. Sundown towns.. Nope!
I don't care about interracial relationships and I don't even care for white women because they can'tunderstand my experience.
Good but don't try to counter things that I didn't assert. Arguing with phantoms can be therapeutic I suppose but try to resist the urge to externalise them.
However, I hate when people deny how racist the UK is. When you live in the denial, you'll never be able to tackle the problem. Racism is so entrenched in the UK that mass incarceration of black kids, institutionalised racism, income and unemployment rate disparities, etc., are glossed over because of people like you and the other poster.
Nope. I said social is ok economic (and the things that this implies - education, housing etc) not. Maybe I should have said socially is 'superficially' ok. In short social lines are not as clearly drawn based on race. That is self-evident in the numbers. The lines are drawn using class as a factor so SOCIALLY deprived white and deprived blacks mingle more. By social I mean the deprived wallowing together like epicurus' swine; blasé, bonded, blissful, bloated and befuddled in and by their common paucity and penury.
Take your heads out of white pums and use your brain cells. Also, observe your immediate environment.
I think premature emotion driven actions and invective can be added to your list of ignorance being a cause of a lack of progress. Failings in reading comprehension too. Next step address what I said. Rather than incorrectly infer something just ask first for clarification. I would wager that I am just as in touch as you on the ills of racism in the UK. That is why I no longer live there. I spoke in my previous post about the paucity of real (governmental) action but somehow that lovely article+comment escaped your wit.
Yes socially racism in the UK is less than in the USA but with regard to the things that matter in life (actually being able to make economic progress) it is worse and that is why I prefer the USA (or even Germany) to the UK.
I wouldn't go back to all the BS (re. the things that really matter) in the UK for all the tea in China.
This is not the discussion to get into all of that but in short the UK talks a lot but is rooted in age old attitudes. This means that Blacks are able to 'get along' in certain parts of societies but to a greater degree than in the US are unable to become stakeholders and that is not about to change any time soon.
In nominally racist Germany or the United States, if you do the right things you can more readily make economic progress and that is the key to making (real) social progress.
