Theresa May is a Conservative former Prime Minister : "“If you’re black, you’re treated more harshly by the criminal justice system than if you’re white.”
Theresa May, 13 July 2016
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Evidence is everywhere, its easy and simple to find, from official data to public surveys, from statistics to real life stories, even former Tory Prime Ministers have confirmed what most people already know.
Britain has been a very racist country, and the closer you get to the begining, or start of large scale immigration from The Caribbean in the 1950s, the worse it was, it was open and it was accepted as normal.
The government was forced to step in and introduce legislation to stop widespread discrimination in the 1960s and 1970s.
Many police forces, and in particular The Metropolitan Police had massive problems with racism,which in the end resulted in riots and civil unrest, especially in the 1980s.
I have repeated several times on these boards that the problem has largely died away ( but not entirely )
But for Kemi Badenoch to attempt to dismiss any idea that there has been a very real problem with racism and discrimination in this country is breathtakingly stupid, but then the woman is on the populist Right of the Conservative Party, and is well known for her other intolerant views.
She ( Kemi Badenoch ) and people like her, are what is wrong with society, they are breeding false narratives, fuelling the utterly ridiculous idea that Racism against black people is all simply imagined or made up.
These people are utterly disgusting and wouldn't know HONESTY if it smacked them in the face
