I'm going to come back and write a longer reply, your post deserves it.
But there's a few initial points
1) We (and i mean this collectively) need to look at what causes Black on Black violence as Pierre and i were discussion earlier in the thread this is due to socio/economic reasons that are highly complex and need to be untangled.
2) So what if black people use words that white people shouldnt use. If you call your husband/wife 'strumpet' would you be happy for me to do the same? Of course you wouldn't because the relationship is different.
3) With hindsight several programs shouldn't have been made It aint half hot mum & mind your language are just two that i can think of, Fawlty Towers is up there as well. In the past few days Keith Lemon & David Walliams have come out and said they wouldn't make those programs now.
4) Change is scary, of that there's no doubt. but it will happen. History shows us continuously
Finally, why would anyone in their right mind support violence and thuggery ?

Who needs protection and help where possible most right now?

1) Where is the evidence? Eg even very rich rappers get violent. It's just a feeble excuse trotted out. Large areas of the world are poor, yet they're not as violent or aggressive. Strange that.
2) If allowed behaviour is based upon race, than that is the very definition of RACIST.
Using an example of a jokey term is just ridiculous and deliberately dodges the point. They're not using the words in a personal sense, but often in a general and derogatory manner. If they're using it in a personal manner, why can't everybody use it in a personal manner? Not saying they should, but is unsurprising hypocritical to allow one, but not the other.
3) Caricatures have been made of just about EVERY group, of WHATEVER race. Costumes, comedy characters, fancy dress, etc come from ALL races. NOTHING exclusively anti-non-white about any of it.
4) People HAVE been forced out because they don't support the violent actions. Try publicly criticising it and see what happens. Love to know of examples of where that HASN'T happened.
If Black people need protection, it is from THEMSELVES. The FACTS firmly back that up. White people aren't magically immune from being attacked.
