Doreen Lawrence: PM doing too little to tackle racism Doreen Lawrence said David Cameron was wrong to criticise multiculturalism in a speech last year, saying people may "misinterpret" his message. People take their lead from the government. If the prime minister said 'this is what I'd like to see happen in our society' ... people will try to work towards that. At the moment I'm not sure exactly what they are doing around race," she said. Mrs Lawrence, a practising Christian, said her son's killers were "pure evil" and she could not forgive them. "You can only forgive somebody, something, who asks for forgiveness, who admits their wrongs and they have never done that," she told the Guardian newspaper. She added she believes black people must be four times as talented as white people to get as far in life, and the Metropolitan Police disproportionately target black people. "In their mindset they still believe they are criminals," she said. Her son, Stuart, a teacher, has been stopped under stop-and-search powers more than twenty times, she said, and police accused her of driving a stolen car the year after Stephen's murder.
