Dawn Butler racism just fine according to Labour

Yes you are of course I am clapping for your comment I am white and I agree with you

I've just googled Dawn Butler fully expecting to see a white woman. She is a black woman.

As a black woman myself this is different coming from another black woman, we are allowed to call out behaviour that we see as harmful to people of our own race. There are terms within black and other ethnic minority cultures to describe people of our own race who we feel are acting in the best interests of the majority race.

😂

But. somehow, for Labour that "best for the job" is always, always white and male.

Agreed. There's something in the Bible about this from recollection. About a speck of sawdust in someone else's eye ignoring a plank in your own!

Dawn butler is black as a black woman she is entitled to say that . It's not ravism if it's from a fellow black woman I also think Dawn has a point. Uounknow the black republican senators or congressman I get them confused as british any way they lead very white areas because majority of black won't vote for them because they know they don't have their fellow black people's interest.
Guido can't remember surname worked for Boris stated that she kemi was picked because she can say stuff that fellow white folks can't so there we bloody go

Do you think someone should be leader because of the colour of their skin or their sex? Personally, I want the best for the job whoever they may be

@Nordione1 , whataboutery is the tactic of those who have no other argument and they think it’s clever! 🤣

Dawn Butler apparently re-posted (re-tweeted) a post by Nigerian-British author Nels Abbey, based in London, entitled: 'Warning: Seven Rules for Surviving A Kemi Badenoch Victory'. Abbey has, I think, indicated it was supposed to be sardonic and nuanced. I'm not convinced that Dawn Butler understood this. (This is a woman who believes in the gender fairies.)

Anyway she then quickly took it down.

Yvette Cooper isn't happy but says it's a matter for the whips.

It's obvious why Dawn and Labour are hitting back at Kemi Badenoch being leader. They will be furious. Labour - the party of woke have not had non white leader (Conservatives have had two) or a permanent female leader (Conservatives have had four). You might think that Labour, despite their self-marketing as being woke, are actually fairly bigoted.

Google is your friend.

Being asked for evidence is 'whataboutery' - you are great fun.

I am not a Labour voter or supporter and find those words deeply offensive. However, she did not write them. She retweeted them.

If she had said it I would expect the party to act It was someone else's tweet which she liked

Not quite, she retweeted it, therefore amplifying the message.

According to Sky News, she shared the tweet, she didn't just like it.

The point of 100% APR/BPR is to stop part of a farm having to be sold each generation to pay death duty. 85% of family farms will fall into the IHT trap. I assume you don't own and run a farm yourself being so relaxed about it.

Cold.

Tbf re the RR comment, inheritance tax is on death. Why should farmers not pay when every other eligible person does when they die. I take no issue with that (im also from a farming family) if its going into our dire public services then I'm all for paying taxes correctly

The dawn butler one..be careful not to get drawn into daily mail soundbites. The comment was awful and shouldnt be said. However she didn't say it . If she had said it I would expect the party to act It was someone else's tweet which she liked

Are you trying to run the old lefty whatabouterry tactic? We see through you all now. The fog is starting to lift.

Labour aren't good people.

Well TBF so is Boris Johnson.

Really? I would have thought Johnson's racism was hard to beat. Apart from sharing that Tweet, what other racist things has she said? I'm curious.

Oh her by a country mile. She's steeped in racism.

@Babadookinthewardrobe , exactly the point I was making.

I just knew a Labour MP was going to come up with something like this. As a brown woman, the most unpleasant forms of racism I've experienced (bearing in mind that I grew up in the 70s and 80s when there was overt racism) has been from left wing people at the university I work at. They can't stand it when a woman of colour doesn't stay and think in the place that the Left has carved out for them. I'm not even remotely right wing either, just left of centre and don't subscribe to critical race theory (or any other kind of reductive, blunt theory that lacks the ability to deal with issues in a nuanced way).
