White BLM protester called a black police officer guarding Downing Street a 'pet n****r', reveals minister Kemi Badenoch as she slams the 'political movement' and warns teaching children that 'white privilege' is a fact is ILLEGAL



Wednesday 21st October 2020



Kemi Badenoch said teaching pupils white privilege as fact was breaking the law
Also warned against decolonising of the school curriculum in Commons debate
Comes as schools are asked to 'decolonise' the curriculum and examine courses



A white Black Lives Matter protester called a black police officer guarding Downing Street a 'pet n****r', a top Tory minister claimed in Parliament yesterday.

Repeating the racial slur word-for-word in a Commons debate on Black History Month, Kemi Badenoch, who is black, urged Labour to condemn 'many of the actions' of Black Lives Matter - which she labelled as a 'political movement'.

The Conservative MP also branded the group 'anti-capitalist', while warning that teaching children about 'white privilege' as a fact without offering balance was 'illegal'.

She said: 'Some schools have decided to openly support the anti-capitalist Black Lives Matter group often fully aware that they have the statutory duty to be politically impartial.

'Black lives do matter, of course they do, but we know that the Black Lives Matter movement is political.

'I know this, because at the height of the protest, I've been told of white Black Lives Matter protesters calling — and I apologise for saying this word — calling a black armed police officer guarding Downing Street a "pet n***er".

'That is why we do not endorse that movement on this side of the House.

'It is a political movement and what would nice would be for members on the opposite side to condemn many of the actions that we see of this political movement.'

During the debate she also said that teaching pupils about 'white privilege and their inherited racial guilt' would see a 'dangerous trend in race relations'.

Her comments come as schools and universities across the UK are urged to 'decolonise' the curriculum and examine their courses in the wake of the Black Lives Matter protests.

Ms Badenoch, who was responding to the Labour MP Dawn Butler's calls to decolonise history, said: 'We do not want to see teachers teaching their pupils about white privilege and their inherited racial guilt.

'And let me be clear, any school which teaches these elements of political race theory as fact, or which promotes partisan political views such as defunding the police without offering a balanced treatment of opposing views, is breaking the law.

'But why does this issue mean so much to me? It is not just because I'm a first generation immigrant, it is because my daughter came home from school this month and said ''we're learning Black History Month because every other month is about white history''.

'This is wrong and this is not what our children should be picking up. These are not the values I have taught her.'

During the Commons debate, the Tory MP called out 'the teaching of contested political ideas as if they are accepted facts' and 'an ideology that sees my blackness as victimhood and their whiteness as oppression'.

She also rebutted claims that the curriculum needed decolonising and argued that 'making race the defining principle of what is studied is not just misguided but actively opposed to the fundamental purpose of education'.

She told MPs: 'Our curriculum does not need decolonising for the simple reason that it is not colonised.

'We should not apologise for the fact that British children primarily study the history of these islands, and it goes without saying that the recent fad to decolonise maths, decolonise engineering, decolonise the sciences that we've seen across our universities to make race the defining principle of what is studied is not just misguided but actively opposed to the fundamental purpose of education.

'I want to speak about a dangerous trend in race relations that has come far too close to home in my life and it is the promotion of critical race theory - an ideology that sees my blackness as victimhood and their whiteness as oppression.

'I want to be absolutely clear: this Government stands unequivocally against critical race theory.'

Speaking about Black Lives Matter, she told MPs: 'Some schools have decided to openly support the anti-capitalist Black Lives Matter group - often fully aware that they have the statutory duty to be politically impartial.

'Black lives do matter, of course they do, but we know that the Black Lives Matter movement - capital B, L, M - is political.

'It is a political movement and what would be nice would be for members on the opposite side to condemn many of the actions that we see of this political movement, instead of pretending that it is a completely wholesome anti-racist organisation.

'There is a lot of pernicious stuff that is being pushed and we stand against that.'

During the debate, Conservative MP for Ipswich Tom Hunt told MPs that while he agreed that individuals who harbour racist views within key organisations needed to be 'rooted out', people should be 'a little bit careful' about using the term institutional racism.

Mr Hunt also criticised some of the leadership figures of the Black Lives Matter (BLM) movement for 'straying into cultural Marxism'.

Mr Hunt told MPs: 'Touching upon current issues in the media, like other honourable members, I was appalled by the death of George Floyd. I was absolutely appalled.

'But I would say I found it slightly disappointing... I think that the vast majority of people who have gone on the protests I think are well-meaning and I agree with (Tory MP Steve Baker) that we should listen to their strength of feeling and how they feel.

'But I do think it is unfortunate that some of the leadership figures of BLM have at times strayed beyond what should be a powerful yet simple and unified message in opposition to racism that still exists in our society, straying into cultural Marxism, the abolition of the nuclear family, defunding the police, overthrowing capitalism.

'So in some senses, I find it quite regretful that a message and an agenda that should have been used to unify at times has been allowed to become very divisive.

'But ultimately it is our duty to make sure the right messages are learnt from that horrific incident, and I think it needs to be one of unity and moderation and looking to improve upon the situation we have today where we know that racism still exists.'

The Ipswich MP added: 'I'd also, looking at a petition, like to be a little bit careful about the term institutional racism.

'Yes, I think we need to be alive for the fact that there will be individuals who harbour racist views within key institutions, whether they be schools or the police, and they need to be rooted out.

'But I think to smear an entire organisation as being institutionally racist, again I think is incredibly unhelpful and divisive.'

Couldn't agree more. I would never refer to a black person as a N***** and rightly anyone who does should be prosecuted for racial hatred.

On the flip side I also believe that the phrase 'White Privilege' is also a deeply offensive racial slur and if a black person used that phrase towards me then they should be subject to the same racial hatred charge.

The biggest problem with the "Movement" is the huge divide of the BLM. I support all the good that the BLM brigade has conjured up in the last few months, just because I believe in equality for the black community I've been labelled a communist & pretty sure a Nazi somewhere else.

I think it's completely ignorant for us white folk to ignore that black are treated differently to white in this country. I look no further than the young black gentleman on Good Morning Britain recently that was out delivering aid around London. In one day he was stopped 4 times by the police, and in one of those stops cuffed and searched thought to be concealing drugs. He told the presenters that that was approximately the 30th time he'd been stopped by police in his life.. I'm late 20's, never once in my life had a second look from the police. I don't care what anyone says, white privilege is real.

I'm in no way supporting the racist and extreme segment of the BLM movement. I actually condemn what they do. But to believe in equality and be sensitive to what other races experience in terms of abuse, or to be differently treated because of their skin colour shouldn't be labelled the same as the above mentioned.

It's the constant news posts like this that are continuing the flare ups. The far right and the far left going tit for tat constantly means we'll be seeing these sad point scoring stories filling our news feeds for likely years to come.

Very sad times.

Well I be buggered :lol: :lol: :lol: I told Josh yesterday it was a political movement or entity but he strongly disagreed. Basically this black MP is backing up what I have been saying about this anarchist group.
And these far left Marxists are some of the worst racists about and I have seen them turn on the Black public when they oppose them. They are called Uncle Toms and much more.
And to think some on here are going loopy because I’m dead against BLM and everything they are about. For those still saying there is good within this movement are burying their heads in the sand. They will not admit to what this group is.

The truth is about BLM they don’t actually care about Black lives. Slavery for starters in history was committed by everyone of every colour and to make out it was only the white race is wrong.
But BLM are a movement motivated by Marxism and greed which does not go together. They certainly do not give a flying toss about modern day slavery which is just as big as in our past. Because of BLM many Black lives have been taken at the hands of this mob. You see their enemy is anyone that does not see there ideology and colour of the skin does not matter.
They have destroyed black run businesses in America.
But I am still gob smacked how people still think BLM are a worthy cause. BLM & Antifa are financed by the ruling elites George Soros the Rockerfelas and there like, and they are there to cause divide and to agitate any particular group they are told.
We are all kept in line by divide and rule.
Those that say there is an element of good to this group well sorry to say no there isn’t. And the likes of Nathan Blake who uses racism and bullying to get players to support this anarchist group is abhorrent and he is either a Marxist or very ill informed on who they are.

One anecdotal story, possibly one of many, but no example of the levels of institutional racism you claim.

When London had a stop and search policy I got stopped every single Friday on the tube when my office had dressed down day. Every single time. I'm comfortable in a hood and jeans. I didnt live in an affluent area. I'm white. I wasn't stopped or profiled on my race, but on how I dressed, my class and where I lived.

There can be a huge debate about the validity of stop and search policies. These don't necessarily boil down to race though.

Way more complex discussion and class is a far greater aspect of the conversation than race, but is sweat aside because its easier to vilify white people openly than it is to turn on working class people.
