Alan Sugar - moron

It's a surprising and confusing situation as they jobs there were applying for are jobs such as shop assistants.

White lawyers are being asked to be judges regardless of their perceived social status but black lawyers aren't so no it's not about "old boys clubs"

Seems that way, here's a bbc report with a link to another study that shows this: Why your name matters in the search for a job

ADM is doubly weird because he says maybe black people don't want to be lawyers when Lammy is talking about the prospects of black people who are already lawyers.

You put your name on the application and a person with a "white" sounding name takes on average 9 applications before being asked to come in for an interview and a person with a "BAME" name takes 16 applications.

So why aim that at me?

If and when it happens 50% is far too high. At some older grounds that would mean the fans are less that half a metre away from each other

I haven't said that though have I.

But we've said many times already the issues are when these kids leave the education system

No but skin colour can lead to economic injustice But it seems to me people are wilfully misrepresenting what David Lammy is saying. He is talking about the number of black lawyers who are selected to be judges i.e. black people who have entered the legal system already and why they are not...

People don't seem to get that economic injustice is part of the issue of structural racism

No because they have opened it up to a lot more white people but not black people. Not sure if you know how you become a barrister but you have serve a pupilage at a chambers and these chambers still overwhelming pick white candidates.

It's hard enough to become a barrister if you aren't the child of either a barrister or the friend of a barrister.

I'd trust David Lammy a black lawyer on matters of black people and the law establishment over some walloper like ADM

White privilege is simply just never having the colour of your skin count against you.
