Labour's disgusting racism problem


Today, a leaked audio recording revealed Labour MP, Rupa Huq's racism towards black Brits, when she said, of Kwasi Kwarteng, Britain's Chancellor of the Exchequer:

“Superficially (Mr Kwarteng) is a black man….if you hear him on the Today programme, you wouldn’t know he’s black.

She went on to say:

"Ok, superficially [the Conservatives have] had four brown Chancellors and that. But when you have a little brown guy who.... and also the leadership contest I think that I’d say alludes to that. When there was say Suella Braverman, Kemi Badenoch, all these people in it superficially ‘oh look it’s a multicultural leadership race’."

Rupa Huq's comments, while not unforgivable, expose the belief of many on the Left that black Brits should vote and think one way or face an onslaught of vile racist hate. It's utterly reprehensible and clearly racist to tell a black conservative or a black liberal for that matter, they're not really black because of their political beliefs, their education or the way they speak. 

To Rupa and others, Kwasi Kwateng should listen to rap music, talk street slang, dress with his pants slung below his bottom and wear a New York NewEra cap turned backwards. Why? Because that's how she sees black Britons and those of us from mixed -heritage backgrounds: we don't speak properly, dress or achieve well and mustn't attend excellent schools - oh, and we're all rabid socialists in perpetual need of her help. Attitudes like this are disgusting and racist. 


The utter hypocrisy of it all is that if the Chancellor of the Exchequer were a Labour MP,  Huq would be all over him, celebrating the wonderful diversity of his appointment.  

But now we know how she and many on the Left see black people: uneducated, uncultured and in need of protection. Her views on black Brits have been made public. No doubt in private, Huq thinks David Lammy, another well-spoken, thoughtful, experienced and well educated MP, is less than in many ways. Why doesn't she say so?

The Left has form on this racism, which seeks to keep black and other Brits from minority ethnic backgrounds in their political place. Remember when President Biden said: "You ain't black if you don't vote Democrat!"? Sickening. Oh, and think back to when former Labour now independent MP Neil Coyle was caught making racist Sinophobic remarks to  politics reporter Henry Dyer? Unacceptable. Who could forget when former Labour MP Emma Dent Coad described 2021 London Mayoral Conservative candidate Shaun Bailey AM as a 'token ghetto boy'? Vile.

However, Biden, Dent Coad, Coyle and Huq would set out to destroy any of us if we said half of what they have about members of minority-ethnic communities.  But then, with Labour, racism is OK. Right?
