Black people were seven times more likely than whites to be stopped and search by the police last year, official figures showed on Tuesday.
Ministry of Justice data showed the rate was even more disproportionate than the previous year, when it stood at six times more likely.
Asians were about twice as likely to be stopped and searched – about the same as the previous year.
The increase in the number of stops on ethnic minorities was partly explained by the police response to the July 7 bombings, the report said.
There were 878,153 stops and searches recorded by police in the year, up 3% on the previous 12 months.
Most of this rise was due to an extra 14,000 black people being targeted by stop and search – a 12% rise – and a 14% increase in the number of Asians targeted, it said.
“This increase could be explained, in part, by the London bombings,” said the document.
Stop and searches conducted under anti-terror powers rocketed by 34% in the year to 44,500, added the paper.
This included an 84% rise in the number of Asians stopped and searched under counter-terror measures, and a 51% increase in blacks targeted under the measures.
However, a separate document also published by the Government on Tuesday gave the number of stops and searches under anti-terror powers as just over 50,000, rather than the 44,500 given in the first publication. It revealed that those 50,000 stops led to just 563 arrests.
Aftermath News 
And why not, if we didn’t stop everyone who’s been publicy recorded as the more violent offender in hate and racial crimes, and more prone to black on black crime than any other race that inflicts pain upon its own people, so be it. Until this sort of black listing is understood, measures like this can be called rascist as much as needed to try and play their card to appeal their struggle against the white man(see also O.J. Simpson). I, for one, would rather more Islamics searched than blacks, as more of these people are actually required by their faith to trick and undermine ANY other religion beyond their own(see also Quran). I’m not racist in any capacity, until they see their own internal problems and address them accordingly(Rev. Al Sharpton, Jesse Jackson), don’t come to me complaining about searches blaring rap music down my street and expect sympathy when your culture evokes violence of ANY manner upon ANY individual not able to empathize with YOUR life(much like Islam).
