  Well thats right, a whole section of society is unemployable not probably because of schooling but because of attitude. The want to be the way they want to be and its not attractive to anyone other than themselves.
  
  But yes its a pity ED Milliband condemned Starkey's comments as racist out of hand, but I guess there is a wave of much the same condemnation swirling around the electronic media and Ed is tapping into public opinion. Not wisely so in my view.
  
  Because I think Starkey was trying to make a real point. He condemned all races with equanimity, if thats the right word, so if you are condeming all at the same time how can it be racist. He was delivering the "there all as bad as each other "shool of thought...as I understood it.
  
  The section of his diatribe which seems to have got everyones hackles up is the fact that he said the young white males where trying to be black...the way they talk, the way they walk, the way they dress..and dont resemble anyone with an English background whatsoever. And even the black ones dont speak or act anything like their hardworking immigrant parents either. This is the point he was getting at. I dont see racism there...possibly more an uncomfortable level of accuracy.
  
  This ghetto-isation of young people no matter what colour they are is a move downwards, and offers them little hope for the future.
