Diane Abbott Has Labour Whip Suspended


Recommended Posts

The stupid woman attempted to down play Jews being subject to racism. I suspect this is because the majority of Jews are white and not subject to colour prejudice, she appears to have let the circa six million gassed by the Nazis slip her mind.

It's no surprise the Guardian gleefully printed this absolute moronic racist diatribe.

 

 

 

Racism is black and white

Tomiwa Owolade claims that Irish, Jewish and Traveller people all suffer from “racism” (“Racism in Britain is not a black and white issue. It’s far more complicated”, Comment). They undoubtedly experience prejudice. This is similar to racism and the two words are often used as if they are interchangeable.

 

It is true that many types of white people with points of difference, such as redheads, can experience this prejudice. But they are not all their lives subject to racism. In pre-civil rights America, Irish people, Jewish people and Travellers were not required to sit at the back of the bus. In apartheid South Africa, these groups were allowed to vote. And at the height of slavery, there were no white-seeming people manacled on the slave ships.

Just a point , according to some on this forum , any comments about Diane Abbot , are out of order.

To be fair, I tend not to single out the mentally ill, their comments speak for themselves

It's madness and offensive to say that Jewish people, Irish people and Travellers don't experience racism and it's right she's had the whip suspended. I suspect the narrative from now on will focus only on her mention of Jewish people, as the OP does, because lots of right wingers quietly agree with her about Irish people and Travellers.
