Sheffield-based company Viners has produced the "Assure" range, square-ended knives which are "shaped to reduce and prevent injuries, accidents and fatalities." With knife crimes in England and Wales at their highest in a decade, a 3% increase on last year and the highest level since 2009, this new knife is intended to not be used in crimes and only in the kitchen. While anti-stabbing messages have been left on fastfood containers and a crackdown on knife crime has been tried, for which included limiting the sale of knives, so far nothing has blunted the knife based problem.
When have social problems been solved by technical solutions?

Can you enumerate those achievments? I'm fairly sure that most of them were torn down by other Africans, or by the jungles they live in. Earthquakes, tsunamis, fires, and other natural disasters did far more to destroy African civilizations than any white people. And, oh yeah - Arabic and Persian invasions and slavery took their toll.
You give too much credit to the Euros when you claim that they tore down much of anything in Africa.

Nice racism you got there you ignorant lout.
Google for "black wallstreet" and you'll go down a rabbit hole of racist oppression you never thought possible. There is so FUCKING MUCH of it in the US that old twits like you would rather pretend never happened. And of course being the TOTALLY NOT RACIST MY BROWN COWORKERS LAUGH AT MUH JOKES Runaway dipshit you then spin the "black on black" crime narrative.
While you're searching the web why not look up "context" to try and understand the crimes in poverty stricken areas?
Who am I kidding, Runaway educate himself? That would get in the way of his world view!!

While you're attempting to "educate" me, you can look up the Tulsa riots. All of that evil can be dumped on whitey - but it has little to do with Africa. So, can you enumerate all those achievements you mentioned in Africa, or not?

Well since I was talking about achievements in the US like Black Wallstreet and simple individual success for families you're as usual off base. My Africa history knowledge is not great, but I'm betting the slave trade derailed a lot of their societal development for quite a while. Turning tribes against each other as slave trading mercenaries wouldn't be good for any society.
But you want to put them in a bubble and blame their DNA for every bad thing that happened. Such blatant racist ignorance that ignores the history of "white" people. I know, you can use your racism against the dark skinned peoe and we'll use Hitler against you. Why you gotta be literally Hitler bro? Genocide is bad mmmkay?
