Consider the linguistic framing they’ve pulled to have us call what these monsters did to these innocent girls “grooming.” Yet that is the term the media use and forces us to use in regards to systematic predation, sexual exploitation, torture and murder of the innocent British girls by men who should never have been in the same country. “Grooming” should be the term of brushing or caring for these girls and not a sick euphemism for sexual abuse and torture. I know we use it in order to refer to something but it drives me up the wall.

I don’t want to be black, but reality indicates to me that the whole system will have to collapse for any meaningful redress on this issue.
If this were to happen, a lot of ugly things that have occurred would be dealt with in an equally ugly manner.
