It is the likes of Dianne Abbot who pretend to be anti racist who are THE most racist people against white people. Racism is racism be it blacks to whites, or whites to blacks, there is no difference.

That first vid was probably posted by a BNP supporter. Note the link to the BNP website. My skin is crawling at the fact that I clicked on the link and actually entered the site. In the interview all she does is ask the public sector to be mindful of gender and race in making cuts. I don't see much wrong.

Diane Abbot is an idiot. The fact that she's ultra left wing but sent her son to a private school is enough to demonstrate her level of hypocrisy; especially since she'd previously criticised Tony Blair for doing the same thing. She wont win the vote but she'll make it interesting.

Her hypocrisy doesn't end there either. On Question Time, she was very firm and moral in her response to the David Laws scandal. Saying he deserved to face the consequences of claiming expenses, ie money that didn't belong to him, to live with his partner.

Less than a month later, we get this.

Good post.

The comments attributed to her in this vid are far more biased than her comment in the OP's vid.

Are you suggesting that the video posted was tampered with in some way? If not, then that is what she said, whoever posted it. So how do you interpret her suggesting to local councils to "be mindful"? The majority of people have rightly interpreted it as racist, since she is suggesting insiduously but quite blatantly that ethnic workers should get preferential treatment. Don't white people also have to pay mortgages and utilities and buy food, or must they be expected to stand aside for an ethnic worker who was last in and, by rights, as in all other walks of life should thus be first out?

Oh, and she doesn't reserve her racism only for white people, countless thousands of whom do not enjoy the lifestyle and privileges that she does, but she also looks down her nose at black street culture which she does not wish HER son to be part of. In fact she pretty much looks down her nose at virtually everyone, while she sits up in her ivory tower, having milked MP expenses whilst sanctimoniously criticising tory mps for the same thing.

Is there anything much worse or damaging to the cause of racial equality in this country than a black female labour MP who does NOT practise what she preaches? SHE is the one who will set race relations back by a decade by making such crass and inflammatory remarks.

Unless I'm mistaken she says be mindful of gender and ethnic origin. By mentioning gender does that means she's sexist too?

People have, as usual, completely over reacted to a single comment.

You mean in the same way people often completely over-react to a single comment made by a white person?

In about 90% of cases, yes.

Be mindful? The sooner this country gets away from this nonsense about black or whites and focuses on HUMAN beings. I don't care what colour you are. People always have this mentality that the biggest racists will come from white people.

Its utter nonsense. People should NOT bring colour into it when talking about the loses of jobs. Its as simple as that. I don't care if your pink, black, blue or red. A job loss is a job loss.

People seriously need to move on from this nonsense about skin colour.
