On American racism? “We don’t have all the horrible stuff that’s happened in America here,”For those of us who see racism for what it is, as a system that kills – both our bodies, and our humanity – this is traumatic. I listened to the health secretary, Matt Hancock, announce – as if it was his new discovery – that “black lives matter”, and offer someone as seemingly uninterested in anti-racism as Badenoch as a solution.
Shut down the
Come one this is egregious. How long can the Guardian and ppl like Afua Hirsch be allowed to partake in polite society? They are extremists and agitating for racial war. She and the Guardian have been fermenting racial hatred and tension for too long now.
Racism is a legacy of empire, a weapon of the elite to divide and conquer. To put the poor against the against poor, the results are ingrained in us. Used today in our own politics to divide and rule it infects our society in explicit and implicit forms.
Can you stick to publishing something of value please? Articles like this are simply intellectually disingenuous and not journalism. Even opinion needs evidence.
This is the sort of headline we expect to see from a paper intent in causing unrest that might topple the government.
Was his criminality built here or there I lose track 😎🤣
Try living in countless other countries around the world spouting this bullshit, and see how you get on there
Afua Hirsch is one of those select columnists for whom readers comments are always deactivated in The Guardian. You do suspect that it's because she writes such jaw-dropping nonsense that they don't dare ask for feedback.
Are you sure it wasn’t the cheltenham festival’s fault?
QuotedReplies
It literally was.
Answer this simple question WHY?
The Guardian: where opinion is free, but you are not allowed to discuss articles like this on their website. Hypocrites, all of you.
Robert Mugabe
She would say that wouldn’t she!
Smash that early life button!
Stop the ride, I’m getting off.
Good video on the hypocrisy of BlackLivesMatter
afuahirsch seems to enjoy preaching hate and inciting violence.
This is disgusting, where do you complain about stupid irresponsible articles like this
We were first to outlaw slavery, first to police the seas to stop slavery and first to set slaves free in the Carribean by purchasing their freedom (costing about twice the annual GDP of the U.K.). If the guardian was around then I’d bet my last cent they’d have owned slaves.
Must’ve been the MSM then. ScumMedia
I can understand why you hate whites so much
Afua Hirsch is a racist. Her hatred towards white people is laid out bare whenever she disparages the white race, which is often in her articles
I'm laughing so hard I CAN'T BREATHE
Abomination
If you want to stop begging for money maybe don’t print unsubstantiated garbage like this
No wonder Guardian has to beg for money
It's all our fault for being cosmopolitan. Why else would black on black crime outweigh every other ethnic crime in London.
I can’t bring myself to read it I might die of apoplexy.
More race-baiting, divisive crap from middle-class old malevolent commies.
Stupid mare.
Parody account, surely?
What utter 🐂💩
What a load of garbage.
afuahirsch is in fact the biggest racist of all
Blacks & other non-whites can solve racism by staying the fuck away from white people. Packing up & going back home. They won't for the same reason the parasite will never leave its host - they are dependent upon them to survive. The only option is not giving them a choice.
Won’t be long now until The Guarduan is defunct...
Dear Afua Hirsch, The misplaced, blinded and twisted hate that you have in your heart will kill your soul.
If Britain is so evil why don't you go and live in Africa where mostly Africans lives and according to you they are all angels?
The Fentanyl in his system that killed George Floyd was made in Mexico.
Being half Jewish, I'm sure Ms Hirsch is aware of how many Jews were involved in the African slave trade.
Then leave. No one is forcing you to live here. Choose your Utopia and leave.
Passed caring now.
Racism doesn't exist. What we see is manifestation of low level IQ being forcibly mixed with high IQ. Every Colour Has Its Place - Ethnic Home For Every Race
LOL
Racism built in Britain? How ridiculous can you people get? You are a woke joke!
Enoch was right.
Iromg SupportOurLefty TheBookofTwats Could it get any more ridiculous.
Completed the headline for you... The opinion of someone who knows fuck all about history | Afua Hirsch
The rate of police killings in the UK is 0.5 per 10 million. It quite simply isn't the case that there are are loads of black people being killed in the UK, except, ironically, by other black people.
Please leave the internet.
Colonialism, Covid, Bla Bla Bla. 'Many of us do not want de-escalation. We want protest.' According to Afua.
oh really?
Congratulations, you've probably posted the most insane thing I will read today.
So are those crossing the Channel in dinghies coming as human rights investigators?
LivesMorgoth I can feel a hate reading coming on
You're entitled to your biased view of history (ignoring, eg, the long tradition of black-on-black slavery in Africa). I agree that black lives matter. So why in the UK are almost 20% of black families with kids, single-parent families? 3 times higher than white/Asian families.
Meghan is a great woman and actor and I’d like to see her do some lawyering on the good fight
No wonder Harry wants TF out of it
What else is the monarchy for? Racial imperialism
Yes it was.
Many eu lands was racists in history they was doing colonialism against lands of native people indians africans they was doing crime of slavery selling people in slavery they were destroyng lands of native people
Oh stop.
Violence here and in the community reinforce negative opinions some people have toward black community, legitimising their oppositional culture; leading to continued inequality. A vicious circle, they're locked in a mental cage. Legislation cannot break the cycle, only they can.
But you don't have any evidence do you this is just a made up story based on a lot of waffle typical guardian you just print rubbish and I can't wait till you go bust but even then it will be everybody else's fault
Rivers of blood.
This is all about congressional hearings in obamagate. Well orchestrated but not going to succeed
So many Guardian readers seem to be unhappy living in Britain; is there some other country, some utopian paradise, that they would be happier living in? I am sure the indigenous British would be happy to help them get there.
🙄
A piece on racism written by a racist. Oh the irony 🙄
Is that the same racism that kills more white people every year? Or the same racism that The Guardian constantly spews out against white people? Hypocrites.
Don't forget GB was responsible for the death of Jesus as well as Hitler it's all our fault.
There is no prospect of Gavin Williamson or Michael Gove changing the teaching of history in schools to include the inherent racism of successive generations that even today is proud of the British Empire despite the slavery, injustice and humiliation of black and brown alike.
There is no evidence that Floyds death was racially motivated.
Took longer than I thought 😂
Look at that tedious actress in the photo. Hamming it up for the cameras.
Oh yes, the UK is so racist, some had been campaigning to abolish slavery since 1770 resulting in 👇 know your history 🇬🇧
Trying so hard to justify those absolute galaxy brains protesting an American problem in London.
The Guardian peddling more bull crap..
We have completely lost our way as a society. We create false gods, and then tear them down. We have become child like in our dependencies and in our tantrums.
1984Mathew
Aw bless, Alfafa Hisch fans the flames of black bigotry.
SupportOurLefty surely this is peak Guardian?
Give me strength. She's being paid to write this bollocks. What's wrong with people?
Damnably ridiculous argument. May as well blame the Normans for enslaving the English.
She must have a book coming out.
Better check the colour of every single person in dinghies, invading our terrible country....
Utter rubbish.
Never stop being you, Guardian! 😂
Yep. Let's try and divert all the anger from america to the streets of Britain and use Britain as a scape goat. Yes racism exists in the uk but it is nowhere near the level of america. Media stop stirring nonsense.
Same sh*t, different day from the guardian.
You know where the door is.
Christ almighty
If by magic Afua Hirsch the race baiter appears, sensing money too be made!!
Uk history is for example full of racism wars against indians and native nations and war slavery and colonialism in africa and other lands savage people
Is this the parody again? Its impossible to tell.
Grow up!
Just FO.
What a total load of crap that article is. Might have known that someone somewhere would try a tenuous link back to blame Britain for the world's woes. What a pathetic load of bollox. The peaceful protest yesterday lost their way when angry little mugs kicked off.
I blame thatcher! Well it was only a matter of time before someone did so I thought I’d get in early.
Agree. And Nigel_Farage has a very big hand in it. Racist Farage can’t even defend it now
This is true, to an extent. The racism was also found right across the old European Powers that had such an impact across the world. Yet even with our many structurally racist (& classist) problems, exemplified in the Grenfell & Windrush scandals, we are NOT like the USA.
Clown
The Guardian stirring up racial hatred and division as usual. The sooner this paper goes bankrupt the better. Stop buying it!
tldr; We need to bring down Western capitalism so in pursuit of that goal lets condition white people to salivate like one of Pavlovs dogs at the mere hint of the word 'racism' so that when we say Jump they ask 'how high'.
These 'organic protests' are the last desperate role the dice. All lives matter, and we will not be divided by trouble making rent a puppets.
Even arab started the slave trade in sub Saharan africa before Europeans
Yes they imported slaves into America as did other European nations. The slaves came by ship to North Africa, Portugal, France, and England where they were then shipped across the Atlantic. But slaves were not traded in those countries.
Nuts
Hahahhahahahahaha. Always trying to steal the limelight, these leftist liberals and their drivel.
Completely sloppy, incoherent tosh .. but will play well with woke Guardian brigade.
.....twisting the truth. George Flloyd was a thug who part took in a violent robbery shoving his gun up the abdomen of the women victim. And where was your outcry when a black US police officer killed an unarmed Aussie woman?
Excellent! Brave article!! Colonialism developed racism to justify economic exploitation
You mean the country that outlawed slavery? No more sharp objects for you!
You have no evidence his killing was racially motivated.
Great Britain was the first nation to outlaw slavery and as a result it effectively brought down slavery because any ships could be seized by the most powerful navy at the time. A little gratitude would be nice.
Never read a headline that made me think the person behind it had special needs before, congratulations
How’s that then? Please explain how the UK is racist and I’d like comparisons with China or don’t bother
More trash from the Guardian.
pure spite at such a febrile time. is there no depth hirsch will not sink to. it's clear these people want a race war. thankfully most poc are not into this cult of hate.
The country’s with the loudest voices against racism are the least racist country’s
The gnardiag. The ultimate parody of itself
Says the bitter racist black woman.
You can always rely on Leftists to peddle the Divisive Victimology
Is the guardian still around
Is this the sort of racism you are talking about?
The rest of Europe also made important contributions too.
Absolute balderdash and poppycock. The Guardianistas say the government has blood on their hands but journalism like this creates such a wide divide and distrust it people I'd hate to know the head count. Shame on you
Can’t wait for you to go bust. Just the pond level of journalism.
It's all so predictable from the Guardian...funny how social distancing is no longer important when it's their preferred demographics breaking it
What a load of horse shot. America’s racism was built by America 250 years ago, ya goat.
Bollocks. ScumMedia
This is bad even for the guardian just blame us all and have done with
Great article well done Afua
It's Britain's gift to western civilisation, Greece known as the cradle of humanity & democracy. Britain: white supremacy, slavery Benny Hill & the Beatles. (although the Greeks, the Egiptions, Japan, China all had slaves, the serfs in medieval Europe slaves).
God this getting desperate, shock journalism, it’s fourth division, lacks credibility and actually an embarrassment to a once great publication..
It was racism?! Is there any evidence?
It's very nice of Afua to stay in this deeply racist country.
Full blown parody now huh?
Are you trying to incite unrest here?
so absolutely NO progress has been made in the US since the revolutionary war? Please go home to your safe space.
dismantling the guardian would be more useful
'many of us do not want de-escalation' There are people looting, people being attacked, buildings vandalised.
windrushscandal says it all.
Seriously give it a rest, not every bad thing that has happened in the world is Britain's fault. Let the Americans deal with it and stop butting in
afuahirsch is probably a duggan fangirl
afuahirsch is a race baiting parasite
afuahirsch is a racist. Also a UK hater.
How was it built in Britain, when we ended our slavery, The Americans of the time refused to end there's. This is disgusting race-baiting. And trying to divide a nation. The Slavery Abolition Act 1833 abolished slavery throughout the British Empire. September 22, 1862, when USA.
Please don't incite riots. It's not helpful or productive.
All roads lead to Rome.
Who needs grauniadmeme when you have Had to do a double take to check which feed this was coming from.
How do you account for the ethnic conflict, racism if you prefer, black on black, widespread among Africans in Africa? Ethnic conflict is as old as mankind. It is of no help to pretend otherwise. In fact, refusing to admit it complicates the issue. It is hardwired human nature!
This is bonkers
How do we know the act was a product of racism? Do we know what the officer was thinking?
🖕🏻
Peak guardian self flagellation
This will not be well received. Europeans (and Brits, of which I’m one) are much more fond of criticizing others than themselves. Not exactly a self-aware bunch. Too enlightened for that.
Woah
Racism undoubtedly exists in the UK, but in the US its at a whole new level.
I delighted with all the crazy headlines in the last few days. People are starting realise that the far-left are a bunch of nut cases 😜
It's something I guess .... Don't build much these days
Blacks were forced to go to America, Blacks choose to go to Britain...if Britain is so bad and racist, you can easily leave, you have no connection to the place longer than 100yrs, your parents/grandparents left their homelands, you can go back.
Of course, Britain is to blame. God knows why people still want to come and live here.
👏 👌 👍
As the child whose parents came to the Uk for a better life I simply cannot understand others who did likewise, and then try to remake the hell hole they left behind. if you hate the Uk, leave, more than happy to replace you with an asylum seeker happy to live here
Institutional racism is a complete myth, a placebo to satisfy the mob.
What!!!
There should be a questionnaire that police have to sit to weed out the racists and easily corruptible amongst them
What an absolute load of Guardian this is.
Disputable and bullshit
Rubbish. We TAUGHT black Africans that slavery was immoral. Even as we reached that conclusion ourselves.
Arrest this prick asap for incitement
Peak Guardian
The CONCEPT of racism is not about colour although it presents itself through colour most. Every country throughout history suffers racism via religion, sexism, caste, class, antisemitism, homophobia etc. History isn't just what happened in the last 10 years.
Bollocks
'We', 'we', 'we'. You're not African American Afua, not even a little bit. Stop cosplaying like you are, and stop asking the rest of us to treat you like you are. We didn't have slave states, plantations, civil war, segregation. Imperialism and class is our history, focus on it.
pravda
An Absolute MUST read.
i think we should not forgite palestine🧐
George Floyd’s son Quincy is right! GeorgeFloyd should have not been killed! This was a murder! Let’s hope he gets a justice and these Racist Police officers face prison for life!
What a load of absolute rubbish
And the good will of abolitionists was born there in men like William Wilberforce. Man has been cruel to man throughout all of history. Change is hard fought and will never be complete but it will go backwards if we buy into narratives of resentment.
Give over
Just wow
Dumbest tittle ever
trying to get the Brits all fired up are you?
Let’s just tear white culture down entirely so that all we’re left with is ethno-tribalism.
Is it any surprise a privately educated Oxford graduate wants to move attention away from economic issues to identity issues? The idea of a movent that unites workers of all races around their common economic interests would be anathema to these people.
Words fail at times. This is one of those times.
don't flatter yourself the U.S. smuggled top Nazi officials outta Germany at the end of WW2 using the OSS...imagine having an intelligence outfit called the OSS when the Nazi's had the SS kinda says a lot
what we need is to chemically castrate the feral london youth who have no respect for law and order and only respect the knife and the drugs. its the futures only chance
Mea culpa, mea culpa, mea maxima culpa. GeorgeFlyod
Everything is our fault, everything
your people afuahirsch
Multiculturalism is holding mankind back.
What a load of shit ‘ it was the Romans 🤷♂️
This is libel. I'd like to sue.
Nah, the racism was imported!
Faaaaahooooook u
And now... cue the UK racists.
Was it really? That’s about as plausible as Cummings trip to Barnard Castle to test his eyesight.
