And how dare you be right!
Kemi Badenoch was at the centre of a colonialism row today after WhatsApp messages in which she said she didn't 'care' about its impact on Africa were leaked.
The Equalities Minister said that those who lost out most when European states controlled Africa were 'old elites' rather than the regular people, in messages handed to Vice News.
She added that the Europeans who went in 'just made a different bunch of winners and losers', adding 'there was never any concept of ''rights'''.Imagine a white Tory minister saying that? In fact, the usual suspects can, which is why they are making so much of this...
Ms Badenoch's messages were handed to Vice by Funmi Adebayo,a former associate of the minister.
She said she acted after Ms Badenoch was promoted in last week's reshuffle to a role involving the Foreign Office.
Ah, that famed unity of outlook of the 'black community', eh? What upsets the usual suspects so much about Ms Badenoch?
Ms Badenoch has previously been vocal in her concerns about the the 'woke-ification' of British education.
Born in London to Nigerian parents, she has two degrees and worked in McDonald's to support herself through her studies.
She used a Commons speech to highlight the duty of schools to avoid political partisanship. She does not want white children being taught about 'white privilege and their inherited racial guilt'.
'Any school which teaches these elements of political race theory as fact, or which promotes partisan political views — such as defunding the police — without offering a balanced treatment of opposing views, is breaking the law,' she said, adding that schools should not openly support 'the anti-capitalist Black Lives Matter group'.
Yup, that'll do it!
The history of the Benin Bronzes is interesting, because it led me to learning about the guy who commissioned them, or for whom they were made - the King, Emperor or what ever the local name is for the high heid yin, or Fromage Grand.
ReplyDeleteHe was not that nice to his fellow continentals.
In the Spirit of True Wokery, the Bronzes should be recast as a statue representing the suffering of his subjects.
On a lighter note:- What a delightful name Funmi is.
Shame it belongs to such a meanie.
None of the continental rulers of Africa were that nice. You'd think, from the media, that Britain stood alone, wouldn't you?
