Britain had a chance to talk about race 20 years ago. Let's get it right this time | Nasar Meer

Could this year prove a turning point for racial politics, identity and nationhood in Britain? The Black Lives Matter movement has cut through to the mainstream and dovetailed with the racial and ethnic disproportionalities reflected in Covid-19 mortality rates, and the wider inequalities these lay bare. On the other hand, and waiting for us to come out of lockdown, is Brexit and all the cleavages it has deepened.

All this talking about it just makes it worse. I like the Morgan Freeman approach.

We talk about it all the time, the left has some kind of obsession with this topic playing with it and using it to push their agenda.

What happened 20 years ago that stopped us talking about anything, let alone race?

You don’t want Britain to talk about race. If you did you would want those who disagree with you to be able to express their opinion. The ‘woke’ left wants to lecture Britain about race.

The Government must take a Stand on this NOW - being more vocal to call RACISM out for what it is, never mind discussing it because this will only allow the HATERS to make their excuses and vocalise their twisted ideologies EndRacismNow LoveNotHate

Britain getting delicate historical discussions right?
