Yes. There needs to be a very big “fuck off” to all of this racism-posing-as-intellectual-thought-or-legitimate-concerns nonsense. Make racism shameful again.

There has been a big memory loss of the elites who invented fascism in the 1920s and 1930s. They united the desperate and stupid with hatred of the Jews. 100 years later, similar elites rediscovered fascism. They united the desperate and stupid (including some Jews) with hatred of Muslims.

I truly believe Trumpism has made racism “acceptable” to some people to the extent that they’re willing to announce it in public. Well what goes around comes around and when Trump’s crimes all come to light I hope these racists crawl back under their rock again. But we should never forget.

Yes and yet still, no attribution for the increase in 'small boats' had been laid at Farage's feet even now. No daily reminder of the economic devastation. No horror at what our students are missing out on. No mention of the consequences at all when smiley retirees on TV buy a holiday apartment.🤬

I remember a few days after the Brexit referendum witnessing someone just walk up to an asian girl in Leeds and telling her to go home. I have worked in Bradford for over 40 years with many colleagues from asian families. That was the first time I had seen such racism on display since the 70s.

The lid was taken off the box. Suddenly the hidden racism was unleashed. They knew how vile their racism is, that's why they suppressed it. Now they don't care because racism is mainstream.

A point to note here is that the lies used to promote Brexit have indeed been exposed but the promoters of said lies have not in fact been held to account. Yet.

It seems it never actually went anywhere. While I was growing up in the 80s and 90s, being told that racism is slowly being consigned to history, we had Dawkins, Harris, Murray even flipping Attenborough, etc, etc all whittling away, slowly building well reasoned critiques of brown people 🤬

Me, I think the last 80 years have been a blip, caused by the shock of two world wars and the attempted multiple genocides of whole peoples. That shock has now so worn off politicians, media, wealthy, that they've made everything that caused the above to be acceptable again to people.

I agree… We need to bring back shame. Genuinely.. Eugenicists, Trump, Epstein island, trillionaires and billionaires etc.. like even X, TikTok and instagram don’t exist in a society that has a healthy level of shame.

ABSOLUTELY 💯 The "Legitimate concerns" has given them cover. They seem unable to realise or don't want to understand that it's usually rich white males who set prices, job conditions, salaries, etc and not a person who has a different colour skin.
