White British establishment has been way too racist and harsh towards #DianeAbbott (“DA”) among #BlackWomen—not denying many of their points—compared to others. Issues of DA erasing #GTR or #Holocaust memories or not—not denying the importance of it—is a separate issue than… 2/
…the main topic pointed out in the subject of the letter: White #HierarchyOfRacism that exists to date. Having worked as a London-based banker who was involved with diversity, I’ve seen Black was 9x more, Muslims up to 8x more discriminated at institutional & security levels…3/
1/ Good morning!
I am still not over the crisis that has been whipped up regarding #DianeAbbott regarding a conversation about distinguishing between RACISM vs PREJUDICE 😳
The articulation may have been clumsy, but I invite someone to explain something to me…

2/ I have Jewish friends- they’ve white skin outwardly.
The only thing that identifies their Jewishness is “name” and of course when they literally tell you “I’m Jewish”
Is it antisemitic to say “a white Jewish person is able to use their white skin to shield away from racism”

3/ As far as I am concerned #DianeAbbott ‘s discussion centred around “our outward appearance influences the way racism/prejudice can be used to harm minorities”
Most Jewish people I know (directly) are white skinned, until they told me they’re Jewish - I’d no idea whatsoever🤷🏾♂️

1/I feel sad this evening about race relations in the UK…
The fact that 2 demographics that collectively have experienced genocides/crimes against humanity at hands of “white supremacy” cannot seem to understand each other is tragic
One demographic CANT hide behind white skin😪

2/ The Jewish community endured and fortunately survived the horrors of the holocaust - a period where white supremacy aryans: confiscated their livelihoods, subjugated them, sent them to labour/murder camps
Black people endured and survived centuries of similar abuses 🤔🤷🏾♂️🤷🏾♂️

3/Yet today because of a clumsy wording in a context of a much broader discussion— about RACISM vs PREJUDICE… Jewish people are joining with the British media to whip #DianeAbbott publicly, whilst belittling her lived experiences of racism, by highlighting their pain as superior
1/ It has just come to my attention that none other than @Baddiel is using his Jewishness to attack #DianeAbbott, and indeed signal her for abuse
Let me remind people of how Baddiel articulated his apology to a BLACK man JasonLee
At 3:40

2/ In @Baddiel apology for his antiBLACK racism, he says to JasonLee:
I quote: "...Stuff happened to me, that helped me understand how you (BLACK) must have felt. As I became more well known PARTICULARLY as I put my JEWISH identity a bit more forward, I experienced racism"

3/ In @Baddiel 's apology, he implies that outwardly, without him putting out his Jewishness, Baddiel is ABLE TO PASS as a causal white man.
He experienced heightened racism and abuse, ONLY WHEN he exposed his Jewishness.
BLACK people CANNOT hide their SKIN
