Boris Johnson says the problem in Africa is that we're not in charge anymore...
Priti Patel says taking a knee is wrong...
They produce a Race Report that talks about the benefits of slavery...
Then act like they're fighting racism along with us.
Here's Priti Patel saying that every way that black people have chosen to protest against inequality, including silently taking a knee, is wrong.
This is the government's Race Report from March...
Have a look at that last line.
Boris Johnson promised the Black Lives Matter protesters last year that he would address systemic racism.
8 months later he gives them a report that treats the slave trade like an erasmus year.
Boris Johnson refused to criticise the booing. Priti patel accused those who take a knee of "gesture politics".
Neither of our two most powerful political leaders lifted a finger to combat racism in football and their silence was a green light to racists everywhere!
And then when the racism inevitably explodes, they act like they were the ones leading the fight against racism.
And our newspapers help them sell the lie.

If a white police officer refuses to arrest a sex offender becsuse they don't want to be called racist...
They're NOT doing it to protect ethnic minorities...
They're doing it to protect their own WHITE ass.
That's not political correctness!!
This entire conversation is driven by people with no understanding of how to address issues of racism, using that as an argument to stop addressing issues of racism.
That is why the ROTHERHAM Casey Report talked about "misplaced political correctness".
Because no civil rights movement in human history has EVER marched with the objective of helping sex offenders escape justice.
