Being Black or Brown is obvious, being a traveller, Irish or Jewish is not. I think that's what she meant.

Good job the Jews were in there then, because i take real exception to it. I'm Irish and many Irish people were transported to Jamaica and enslaved. They also were also indentured servants in America, many didn't survive the experience. Thankyou Jews for showing up her blatant anti-white racist bias.

Yes she would have you insect. The reason the focus is on the Jews is because the Labour Party have been accused of having an antisemitism problem and this feeds into that.

Yh because your allowed to be racist to white people in todays world apparently 😭

Her own party leader warned all labor party members that racism will notbe tolerated i dont believe she was being racist but your comment is truly anti semetic.

Coz whites badddd

ERM....Racist?? Or do white people not experience racism...just a thought.🤷‍♂️

She hates whites, that much is clear from several statements she made through the years. Had she focused her hatred on Christian Whites, the Labour Party would have celebrated her.

Because we don’t care what she says.

Because she is a privileged racist.

I live off Church Street too!

but we're talking about racism specifically. there is no racism towards white people but there is prejudice.

@@bluebellbeatnik4945 The prejudice is based on race; it's racism.

Sage advice David.

Same experience living in a predominantly black part of a certain European capitol. I repeatedly have seen black on black discrimination due to being from a different tribe (even though hailing from the same country !!), nationality, sexuality and religion.

no way ur defending antisemitism right now

@@danv4295 nothing she said was anti-Semitic. She was pointing out the hierarchy of racism that is taken seriously in this country and the Labour party. The biased Tory appointed EHRC puts out a sham report and the Starmer takes it seriously is in the news constantly till this day and all its recommendations are implemented. Forde report comes out - pointing the anti blackness in the labour party and is badly misrepresented and in the news for a day and completely ignored by the media. To pretend Diane Abbott is a racist when she faces more racist abuse than anyone else is ridiculous. To pretend anti-blackness isn't the most prevalent form of racism in this country is ridiculous. No other race is targeted by police and discriminated against as much as black people are. So yes that Malcolm X quote is spot on.

@@danv4295 I think he is saying antisemitism exits and wrong but these Jews in Israel are oppressing the Palestines in a cruel and nasty way and that too should be condemned and we shouldn't label anyone who speaks about the atrocities and war crimes committed by the Jewish State as an antisemite! Do you agree with me on that perspective?

@@abdikadiradan1766 What about the Muslims and Druze in the Israeli Parliament and serving in the army?

"criticism towards Jewish people" wow, nice way to mince your words. you definitely don't sound anti-Semitic at all.

Well, they've had a hard time of it these past few thousand years. They don't even get to go to heaven after they die.

It isn't a criticism of Jewish people. She quite literally said they only faced bigotry but not racism like black people, and then something cras about the back of a bus. No, Jews were never asked to sit at the back of the bus in the past, but about six million of them were obliged to stand in their own Jew-only cattle cars. Which would you say was the worse treatment? Segregation or extermination? What she said was stupid, and the rest of her letter was equally ridiculous.

​@@lesigh1749 Well she was talking about certain parts of history. I doubt she was denying the Jewish holocaust. Also she did mention that these groups have suffered. Also blacks people in various parts have been subject to their genocide like in the Congo during the colonial period by Belgium. She probably had a bad choice of wording but I don't see where she denied these groups suffering?

@@lesigh1749 Slavery wasn’t a walk in the park either. All these atrocities and their effects were different. The kind of racism faced by different groups is different. The ability to escape from identification as a minority varies depending on whether or not it is literally written on your face. It’s not diminishing one type of suffering to discuss candidly how it differs from another.

@@davidsheriff9274 Jeremy

But she clearly tried to say Jews and other white people havent and dont experience racism.

Starmer is a hypocrite.

It literally reads like a regular undergraduate sociology essay. For this to be controversial, let alone a firing offence, is deeply worrying and makes a mockery of freedom of speech.

It's not. And people wonder why there are so many anti-semitic conspiracy theories. With things like this happening, it shouldn't be a surprise. I dislike Diane Abbot, but this is completely unfair. Let's remember that one of the reasons Corbyn had to go was that he was openly pro-Palestine - watch Al Jazeera's 'The Labour Files' if you haven't already. A bunch of the anti-semitism reports in the Labour party were simply opposition to the present genocide being perpetrated by Israel. The HRA definition of anti-semitism (which I believe has now been adopted) ordains that it's _inherently anti-semitic_ to acknowledge what's going on in Israel as a genocide. Israel is, as a simple matter of fact, powerful, and is using that power to protect its own political interests. This may be an element common to many outlandish conspiracy theories, but that doesn't mean it isn't true.

Are you telling me Jews cannot be victims of racism?

Ikr she’s right and should have the freedom of speech

No, they cannot. However they *can* repeatedly assert that it is on the 24 hour news cycle, and Kier can use it to twist the knife.

As a Hackney resident, I hope the people in this borough pause and think about who they want as an MP because it certainly cannot be Diane Abbott and Labour. Both have taken their positions for granted so I hope we get a change. My friend said that even if the Labour Party had stuck a Labour roseate on an donkey as a candidate they will get voted in but I hope that is not the case next time.

@@hansiesma16 Yeah enough. I'm black. I've lived in both the US and the UK. The whole attitude of people like you is the main reason black people are remotely put down in the modern day.

You clearly didn't even see the video if you think it's completely justifiable and lovely to say "Oh only black people experience racism, Jews and Irish don't, nobody else has problems like we do!" This is a woman dumber than Trump and Biden combined who can't do basic primary mathematics. Literally everyone contradicts you, even Abbott said the letter was a draft (supposedly) and wasn't meant to be sent... so yeah. That not even her true opinion. Look up the word "experience", by the way. If you saw what she said that makes no sense in that context.

Good job the letter wasn't written by Boris Johnson then.

Agree with your sentiments. I read her article and to be honest, if she had qualified it a bit more, explained in more detail her stance, I think she would have been okay. In my opinion it is more about prejudice than racism. Have you noticed how there is a silent purge going on within the Labour Party? First Corbyn, now Abbott... Keir is trying to move back to appealing to the middle classes and in so doing, Labour is once again abandoning the working man.

Personal opinion is only allowed if it is Sir Saintly Starmer's opinion as no body else is correct, a bit like the Stalin years all over again 😢 I once felt a home (politically) in the Labour party, but seeing as they are offering nothing to the disabled homeless Roma person I am what is being offered but the right not to question Israel because it is apparently antisemitic to question the state that has not held to the boundaries set out in 1947, but I am at a loss as to what is antisemitic about asking why?

She's peddling the Critical Race Theory understanding racism which is certainly nonsense. The claim is more or less a Theory of History revolving around the alleged dialectic of whiteness and blackness. White people supposedly created an ideology of 'white supremacy' towards the end of Age of Discovery. This ideology animated and propelled the Atlantic slave trade, colonialism and imperialism - as coherent anti-black projects - creating the modern world which is thus immanently structured against black people in favour of white people. This can be seen in intractable inequalities in the present, which can only be remedied by a dictatorship of the anti-racists acting as total administrators of the political-economy. This Theory falls over if racism against black people is just another form of prejudice. Prejudice against black people has to have world-historical import (specialness) to preserve the dialectic. Now can you see why some people so jealously secure the category of racism?

Yes, you are totally wrong. There's far too much weakness in your Liberal mind and it's this very weakness that's destroying the free thinking world because everybody's afraid to give an honest opinion in fear of being chastised, Abbott is a black racist fact!!!

The Egypt/Israel peace pack shows that peace is 100% possible-but that was brokered by a REAL man of peace (ie totally the opposite to the idiot Corbyn) Jimmy Carter who banged BOTH Egyptian and Israeli heads to get a real deal. The idiot left lauding Hamas is the huge problem and their total lack of awareness of ME issues do put them solely in the AS camp. You cannot condemn Israel without condemning Hamas.

It’s the greatest thing Israel has done, synonamised itself with being Jewish, protects it against criticism.

@@Armed-Forever I've got more facts. Black people, who are 3% of the UK population, are overrepresented in the media, entertainment, education, and politics. Why would a demographic of people be overrepresented in, well, anything? I thought when white men are overrepresented in something it's racist. Does that mean the overrepresentation of black folks in some industries is racist to everyone else? Can I get grants from the government and fight racism and privilege committed by black folks? We do exactly the same thing to white people. Sooo, can I? If I can't - why?

Are you suggesting what she was said was merely mentioning Jews instead of her actually dismissing not only Jews history but the fact that white ppl of all backgrounds experience racism

What she said was mostly fact yes, but ignorant of all the facts. She said white people (including jews and Irish) weren’t persecuted in slavery, apartheid etc. True but oddly convenient not to mention examples such as the holocaust or Irish persecution, which equally black people were not a part of.

​@@Goole1947 they are most certainly above criticism however

Wow you can see how Nazi Germany came to be by listening to these labour voters mentality's.

Orthodox Jews get abused in public places.

It's not a fact, because you can't measure it. Think people.

You might want to read about a thing called The Holocaust and then re-think the "lesser degree" remark.

@@MrHammoreds Have you heard about slavery or....? 6 years vs over 200? And guess which group got reparations after and which didn't?

​@@vans4lyf2013 Have you heard about Jewish slaves building the pyramids or...?

Why do you love that?

You haven’t thought this comment through very well have you.

Get yourself a brain 🤣🤣🤣

So much for freedom of speech. Communist China anyone?!

Exactly

Maybe you think it's not an unfair point, but it _is_ a truly absurd and ignorant one. Jews have been persecuted by Christians as Christ-killers for centuries before black communities were even a thing in the west. And then something happened in the 19th century that slips my mind at the moment, but even without that, the persecution they have endured makes the persecution that black communities in the West have endured pale into insignificance. Go look up the things the Catholic Church promulgated about Jews, and the things they did just as an example. Something makes me suspect that rather than the 'West' you actually mean the American mid-South.

Shows you whose really running the show. The J’s

Ciaran. That's a bizarre post. Is it deliberately ignorant of history. Your jackboots are showing.

@@Irishtradchannel I’m not commenting on the history, I’m commenting on the fallibility of Abbott’s argument from a debating standpoint. In the context of the original article, the focus was on racism in the uk today, and therefore any consideration of the history of racism is either background or an example of something not to be repeated. In that sense, the inclusion of every instance of racism to ever happen in history is not necessarily important to the overall argument because it’s accepted that all of those instance share a moral evil; something Abbott doesn’t dispute. What Abbott was trying to do was highlight a nuance between systemic racism and prejudice, which she didn’t do very well, but its still a valid point, and definitely needs to be considered in the context of the wider debate and not as an isolated piece. I also don’t think what she said was inherently antisemitic. As I said before, the point of her letter was to highlight a nuance and give a historical example, it wasn’t an attempt to actively diminish the historical struggles of Jewish people. There is no reason to believe that she personally would mistreat or abuse Jewish people, nor any of the other minorities she listed. And while it may be rational to argue that some others may still take offence to it, even if it was unintentional, that still isn’t the point I’m making. The overall point is she shouldn’t have been expelled from the Labour Party. Offending people is not nearly a strong enough reason to ignore parliamentary privilege and it’s of much greater importance that we protect the freedom of speech of our MPs without the risk of punishing them for having done so

I find your post to be woefully inaccurate. Slavery has existed throughout history and it is not just to Africans during the ‘slave trade’. Indeed according to the UN there are parts of the world that still practice slavery now. As for her been expelled from the Labour Party, it is my understanding that she has had the whip removed and suspended, part of the the Labour Party rules and regulations. If she is actually expelled then she should face a by-election.

You likewise.

​@@ddhh1270 Diane abbot can't count... I bet OP can

Why don't you go and replace her if you are brighter? stop the hate!

Well said Luke and it's amusing to watch all the closet racists becoming empowered by this ridiculous ideology and outing themselves in public thinking they are safe from criticism.

CRT is nothing new. Britain has been teaching it for 60 years and its used to get people to hate Germans.

Could i start cancelling people as an irish person? 🤯

That's not what CRT teaches. You must not really know what it is. She is shockingly wrong but don't use it to try and demolish a nuanced understanding of racism.

@@kaytsippy1981Most people do not say Diane Abbott is wrong Ousting Diane Abbott is questionable about her freedom of speech

And that MP seems think she knows Abbotts mind and speaking for her that she didn't mean to say that and thats not what she meant how the DAMN she knows what in Diana's mind totally ridiculous. We the people must defend stick together and back up the MP for being racially abused for decades and the one time she takes a stand and actually thinks she gets accused by the political correct.

Yeah, racial abuse aimed at travellers and jews is exactly the same as being insulted for having red hair! She's totally spot on!

Mentally handicapped people don't say racist things. You are offensive. Don't use mentally handicapped as a dis!

Tories?

@@Kit-yv7ob It would be funny if not for the fact that Tories are in power since 2010. Sooooooooooooooo yeah

The mentally handicapped got into politics long time ago, are now members of the Cabinet.

He found savile innocent, do the mathematics.😂

@@mattsnap3986 that's not actually true, but it doesn't make me like or admire him any better.

@@mattsnap3986 Don't be silly, white people can't commit crimes.

Saint IKEA Starmer has gone very quiet, is he still in this country?. Funny how Saint IKEA Starmer was very vocal about Dominic Raab.

Well the reaction to this proves her right does it not?

You think anti-Semitism and anti-Ziganism are in the same category as prejudice toward redheads?

@@CanadianMonarchist All of those things are racism (apart from bullying redheads). But each form of racism is different. Racism against Jews is jealousy that they’re clever and powerful. Racism against gypsies is concern and annoyance that they steal and create problems for everyone else. But racism against black people is not based on the behaviour of black people. It is actually a belief that black people are primitive and dumb. It’s a really damaging and undeserved form a racism. I’m not saying Gypsies and Jews deserve racism but they have been living in Europe separate from everyone else for thousands of years.

@@CanadianMonarchist did she ever say they were? No.

@@user-ed7et3pb4o That is the way many people have interpreted it. Obviously Mr. Starmer did.

It wasn't an initial draft. She hit send. The draft excuse is pathetic.

No she's not lying she's deluded

I mean all kind of bad things happened in history but saying ‘we had it worse’ it is like denying WW2 atrocities towards Jewish and Polish and other people.

if you can do a better job why don't you go and replace her.? people like you sit and wait for such mistakes to happen so that you jump on your insult wagon. READ THE LETTER SHE WROTE CAREFULLY...

What's more frightening is there are CONSTITUENCIES of people who think it okay to place her in a position of power...

You’re a good person 🙂

Men do not experience sexism. Men experience negative effects of gender roles which are inherently intrenches in misogyny, which is a shame. But they do not experience sexism.
