interesting.Sweden is supposedly a liberal utopia: a land of generous welfare, substantial foreign aid donations, and green-fingered sustainability. But Sweden's noble image is hiding an ugly truth.There has been a 31% rise in reported "Afrophobic" hate crimes from 2010 to 2014, according to the Swedish National Council for Crime Prevention. The UN Working Group of Experts of People of African Descent reported "a real fear within the communities, especially for young black men, that they could be violently attacked at any time." Structural racism means that black people in Sweden have reduced access to health care and education, according to the UN report, while "the police view people of African descent as criminals rather than a vulnerable community that needs protection." 4951

@dac2010: That's a broad statement. Who are you implying are not working and sponging in Sweden?  Swedes? immigrants or just the African immigrants?I would venture that the increase in racial crime is related to the rise of xenophobic political party, the Swedish Democrats, which won 13% of the national vote in 2014 and became the third-largest party in Sweden.The UN report noted: Afro-Swedes and Africans living in Sweden have been subjected to racist
acts, becoming the most vulnerable group in Swedish society. Sweden's
African community has been discriminated against due to "the lack of
equal access to justice, racial profiling and the failure to effectively
investigate, prosecute and deter Afrophobic hate crimes." "We are
concerned that [the possible failure of the Swedish government to fight
against injustice] creates feelings of mistrust in law enforcement
bodies among communities, and discourages them from accessing help when
they themselves are victims of crime or rights abuses.

@Chrisinkingwood: Your right, that is a broad statement and I am not emplying any one group but it is funny how a liberal would look at it.  I am just saying that when a society has a large number of people that dont have much, that they are more likely to be engaged in activities like this.  Look at America for example, people talk crap about the rich but the poor are the meanest sobs when it comes to treating each other.  Dont take my word for it, look at the prisions.

The only reason that society has been so "successful" in its welfare system is because it is homogeneous.  There is no one to blame or hate when everyone looks the same.  Just like the Dutch.  But when you add in an outlyer, problems arise very quickly.  I have spoken to my Danish and Swedish friends about this, and they actually brought it up.  You can not have systems like they have in a mixed society, it is too easy to single people out and blame them, similar to what happens here in the USA.  One group over utilizes the system and... 4951

@dac2010: prisons are not a society in the sense of free association. prisoners are confined to set quarters and unable to avoid other prisoners they have issues with. and of course they are not necessarily representative of the broad spectrum of a social system to even begin with, or at least not for the majority of people. you might need to get out more
