I thought we would eventually see this race-baiter come out, but I didn’t expect it to be even before the announcement of Badenoch’s election was made.
Dawn Butler has since deleted the post,
Why am I not surprised it was Dawn Butler 🧐.
The post described the former business secretary as a member of the “black collaborator class”.
Fucking hell. Does she even read what she retweets? Imagine, for a second, Trump doing this. Would we be defending his actions? Jaysus what is she thinking?
“The best thing will be when we get to a point where the colour of your skin is no more remarkable than the colour of your eyes or the colour of your hair,” she told the BBC’s Sunday with Laura Kuenssberg.
I find it interesting that both Sunak and now Badenoch have said similar things about the colour of their skin and the fact they have been leaders of their party not being a big deal. For them they are are British and that’s how they identify. Whilst in both cases Labour has congratulated them as being the first Hindu to be PM and now the first Black person to be leader of a party. Don’t get me wrong these are important milestones, but I find it fascinating that the people who broke these barriers don’t consider it a core identity point and the party that hasn’t yet does.
The kind of language she comes out with herself or endorses is what you’d expect to hear from someone like Nick Griffin. I don’t know she gets away with it so often.

I think the reason is that we’re a multicultural society and one of the least racist countries in the world, and the fact that it’s not really a big deal that a person of colour is leading a major political party (and the previous one who was also PM) is a good thing. So yes, it is a historic moment (the first of anything happening automatically is) but it’s a good thing that we live in a country where it’s not remarkable that it has happened.
When black people talk about things that affect black people, they’re accused of racism and threatened with losing their whip. If this was Jew against Jew, everyone would be too shit scared of being called an antisemite that they wouldn’t dare speak up. It’s sad that black people are an acceptable punching bag.
And for the record, Badenoch is a white supremacist.
And for the record, Badenoch is a white supremacist.
Let’s look up the definition of white supremacy, shall we?
the belief that white people constitute a superior race and should therefore dominate society, typically to the exclusion or detriment of other racial and ethnic groups.
Right. Can you point me to where Badenoch has espoused views that think people of a different race, like herself, should be treated as lesser people?
When she said that the Tory party donor that made those comments about Diane Abbott should be excused.
Since when was she given authorization to make that determination? She wasn’t the offended party she wasn’t the threatened party and the individual who made the comment isn’t even an MP so she’s got absolutely no jurisdiction whatsoever to forgive anyone.
When she said that the Tory party donor that made those comments about Diane Abbott should be excused.
She defied the party line at the time and called out the racist language used. If I remember right, her complaint was with the media talking about it for weeks, not dismissing the comments.
As per usual she’s tempting to rewrite history on that one. She’s now said that she forgives him and that everyone should move on. Telling everyone to move on from problematic things she or her party have done seems to be her only tactic, I don’t believe it’s going to work however.
