I wonder why the darker brown people keep leaving all the other lovely, fluffy Bear-hugged, darker brown people, to come and live alongside all us very pale brown people?
When there is so little "understanding" of what they have to face, "day in and day out", over here?
When there is so little "progress" being made?
In fact, isn't it strange, given all the Bear-suggested awfulness they have to endure from us pale brown types, that they don't push off back to the Big, Brown Candy Mountain?
I wonder why Bear lives here?
When he could be living in Swaziland?
Or Israel?

Thank you for the history lesson, the thing is, I'm not sure how all that invalidates the finding of the report in any way.
You quote Carmichael saying:-

Did he represent the majority viewpoint of black people in the US at that time? Do not delude yourself for one second that somehow the white, sorry, Indigenous Caucasian population of Britain of 2008 is in anything like the same situation that black people in the US were in 1967. History clearly shows that black people were being treated as second class citizens by the government of the United States. This clearly was institutional racism.
The originator of this thread has quoted a story that says 1 in 3 white people 'feel' they may have been discriminated against, and yet offers no hard evidence to prove those feelings objectively. I have highlighted a single study which does state that there is institutional racism within the police force and that it is not white people who are the victim of that racism.

'Move on over, or we’re going to move over you.'
Again, I state, black people in 1960s America where on the receiving end of institutional racism and the likes of which you and I will hopefully never experience in our lifetimes. If you place a person in an extreme position, there is only so long before they will resort to extreme measures.
The white, sorry, Indigenous Caucasians of Britain are not in an extreme position. They make up the vast majority of the population of Britain. They hold the most political power, they are in charge of the most powerful businesses, and they operate at the highest levels of public life. Do not be so crass as to think that the 'plight' of the BNP in representing the Indigenous Caucasians is anything like the uphill struggle that people like Martin Luther King, Malcolm X and Rosa Parks had to go through to gain equal rights in America.
Is Griffin so different from Carmichael?
In 1985 Griffin praised black separatist Louis Farrakhan in Nationalist Today. He said,

Say it lound - "I'm white and I'm proud!"
The BNP is facing an uphill struggle to in effect deny anybody who is not white, whoops, sorry, Indigenous Caucasian equal rights.

Funny that Carmichael was no more able to guarantee the actions of black people as a population than you are capable of guaranteeing the actions of white people. Are you suggesting that black people, as a race, colluded in murdering 179,808 white people, because they were white? Is that what you expect me to infer?

Stone is, of course, Jewish.
So what? How does any of that invalidate the report? If you think the report is wrong, you must attack the report on the basis of facts within the report, not upon the basis of who wrote the report.

The Sun report did not specify the colour of the rapists but subsequent enquiries established that they were black.
No other national newspaper mentioned this horrific incident at the time.
However, all of them devoted acres of space to the McPherson Report.
This had been released on 24 February.
Whilst it is an awful thing to have happened, I'm not sure what you are trying to say regarding the rape of a girl by black boys? Are you trying to say that black boys are pre-disposed to rape? Are you trying to say that the media - owned and controlled by people who are evidently not black - are trying to cover up the crimes of black people? To what end? I cannot find the story to which you are alluding, but suffice it to say that the alleged rapists were on trial at the Old Bailey, and as long as justice was meted out in that case, I cannot see why that story would take precedence over a major government report which highlights that the police is institutionally racist and may not have done all that it was possible to do to bring about a prosecution for murder simply because the victim was black. Perhaps if the report had not been published then the story might have made the front page, I don't know, you'd have to speak to the editor of The Sun to ask why he made that particular editorial decision on that day.
You seem to be trying to bring the McPherson Report into disrepute but you are failing to address the facts of the report itself.
How tiresome.
