A young black man looking into the window of a jewellery shop must be casing the joint. Aiming to come back later that night with his posse of thugs to break in and cart away stuff. This is England in 2009. Barely 2 months after the United States inaugurated a black man as president; the racist police of Cheshire are still profiling all black men as crooks.

Victor Anichebe, a young black man who also happens to play football for Everton, one of the bigger teams in England was arrested by the Cheshire police force because he was looking into the window of a jewellery shop. That was his crime, looking through the windows.

The racist police force says they were directed there by CCTV operators and because of increased criminal activity they decided that they had to ask them what they were doing looking through a jewellery shop. Of course, the idiotic redneck policemen didn’t know that the man they were talking to didn’t have to case the joint but could easily buy the joint with his pocket money.

But when is the black man going to be free; if Victor Anichebe, a premiership footballer can’t look through the windows of a jewellery shop without being hassled, imagine the treatment waiting for the inner city kid who might be caught walking down these same streets.

Wake up, white man; the black man is now the most powerful man in the world and you are still locking them up for no reason at all. Wake up.

Victor Anichebe should sue and make this case a cause celebre; don’t listen to the old white men who only care for him because of his football skills. They would tell him to put it behind him and move on; but how does he move on where he is seen as a potential crook just because of the colour of his skin. This is the problem we continue to have with our black celebrities; they falsely believe that because the white man accepts him because of his skills, that it is ok for other black people to be third class citizens.

Sue for large sums and let’s see how the racist redneck pigs grovel. Don’t accept any belated apology.
