UK riots – We can play the blame game too

Popular culture
15 August, 2011

If enough of us talk out against the racist’s then maybe eventually people will move on to realise that the UK riots were not a colour issue, nor was it a gang issue. We need to understand the issues so that are not repeated again.

History is cyclical, it repeats itself and if we simply condemn and punish without understanding and solving the reasons behind the riots we are in for troublesome future.  – Quote from Mohamed-Zain Dada
