No you need to meet the people in my world. And fingers crossed as the BLM movement (which I totally respect & respect hugely) was set up as a single vitally important movement against a specific issue but is starting to make white Christian imperialism think a little continues, i hope that the younger generation so taken in by the EU argument are already starting to see what how wrong it is. The fact I’m being increasingly asked to speak at more and more school & uni events gives me really hope that their European white brainwashing is starting to be eroded.
For a lot of non-Christian, brown people living here in the UK and those who’ve read a book or too and gleaned some form of world view and education in the last few years, the vote was leave is a progressive step because the EU represents the ultimate in white Christian privilege, imperialism and exceptionalism. A club made especially to ensure that the world order of white Christian dominance is never challenged by the inferior folk from Europe's ex-colonies. One of the EU’s purpose for being is to ensure that the EU border is impenetrable.... freedom of movement but only for your Christian white brethren. And I’m not talking about refugees which is a different topic.. I’m talking about the right to live and work where you choose. Please explain to me why it is morally, ethically or in anyway ok for Kenyan nurse/plumber/accountant who has the exact same qualifications and experience as a Spanish equivalent to immediately, AUTOMATICALLY be put behind the Spanish every time? Why is economic migration acceptable only from other predominantly white Christian countries?
The EU trade rules ensure preferential treatment of each other whilst occasionally throwing the countries pillaged by European imperialism the bones of ’aid’ but no invite to the top table, no chance of getting out from under the boot. Remainers fake incredulity and deny .... apparently it’s entirely coincidental that the EU is made up of white Christian countries and not at all racist that brown non Christians are not only not allowed to join but actively discriminated against. Perhaps it’s time to educate yourselves. Just read a little. It won’t take long ..... European imperialism.... it’s a fairly well documented subject and the EU solely existed to perpetuate it. How it’s ok to have favourable trade rules for this already privilege group? How is that not white privilege and Europeans protectionism to the max and not inherently institutionally racist.
The world is finally maybe hopefully changing .....the black lives matters movement, the realisation of some more enlightened so called first world people that they are not first world due to some (Christian) god given right or intellectually superiority but that they are only there off the backs (literally) of black and brown people due to the devastation and overwhelming damage that white Christian imperialism has done to the rest of the world.
So maybe, just maybe, some of us are celebrating Britain leaving the cosy white man club and embracing the rest of the world as partners worthy of at least equal consideration ....a sovereign nation willing to extend that same privilege to others rather than a bully boy exclusive club..... even if it does mean you might have to join a fucking queue at border control or already rich over privileged middle class uni students no longer get their Euramus year abroad paid for because it certainly did fuck all for the working class and meant no uni places for African / Asian students unless your parents can pay exorbitant fees which would require earning what would be the top 0.1% salary in those countries.
