Am I a racist ?

I don't think I'm a racist. I believe there are good (and some bad) people from all walks of life. I am however, becoming concerned at the severity at which some behaviour(s) are categorised against others. Suarez, John Terry (allegedly) and others are taking up a massively disproportionate amount of my BBC news licence fee. Many other, more serious crimes go completely unreported. This morbid and excessive focus on race issues will have a derogatory effect on race relations in the UK if we are not careful. I am sick and tired of it.

My main (favourite) worry is the attitude of the UK media in this regard. It's 18 years since Stephen Lawrence was murdered. In that 18 years 100's if not 1000's of people have been murdered in the UK but NONE of these have been raised at every opportunity in the same way that Stephen's has. Why is this ?

Without exception, the TV and tabloid media are like a dog with a bone. They won't let go of a story and persist in perpetuating certain cases when there are usually far more interesting and important issues to be discussed. Is it a case of low cost or "low hanging fruit" being easier to report on ?

Move on please BBC, ITV and Sky news. There are massive issues facing the country and you are not even mentioning them.

R.I.P Stephen .... along with all those other victims
