I Am Scared Of Race Baiters.

Series 1: They love the sound of their own voice.

Do you ever wonder why certain individuals just joyfully reel off mainstream rhetorics to justify why I, a black person, am in bondage by the “inherent White supremacist structure of the West?” “Oh, no your opinion doesn’t matter, you have been brainwashed by the system of oppression”, they say, each time such poppycock of a statement is being opposed by the said oppressed person of colour.

They go on television smartly dressed, some of them usually black in ethnicity and most of them white in ethnicity. I watch them dish out academic jargon from their arsenal of vocabulary: white guilt, white aggression, white supremacy, cultural appropriation, white ally, and the array of the twentieth/twenty-first-century lists of esoteric and explosive words, never end.

They say they are experts on race and racism, they call themselves pundits. From professors to journalists and even ordinary citizens who, after reading a handful of Wikipedia pages on racism and race, feel they are connoisseurs on these topics. I have no problem with experts on racism, you can dream of it for all I care, but I am particularly alarmed at the rate at which these leftist pundits try as much as possible to ignore the reality of race and racism in the Western world.

In the UK, on March 31st, 2021, the Minister for Equality, Kemi Badenoch MP, alongside other experts from different disciplines — mostly all of whom are persons — of — colour published an independent report on inequality in the UK, as they focused on “education, employment, crime and policing, and health”. A section of the report revealed that:

The report points out that while disparities between ethnic groups exist across numerous areas, many factors other than racism are often the root cause. Among these are geography, deprivation, and family structure. For example, a Black Caribbean child is ten times more likely than an Indian child to grow up in a lone parent household.

Contrary to mainstream leftist rhetorics, whose obsession is with division and not complex discussion and consideration of nuances for growth and development, the report as seen above acknowledges the fact that racism is still an infirmity ravaging society today, however, there are other factors that contribute to the burgeoning levels of inequality in society today and racism is not the only culprit.

This truth has seen Kemi Badenoch receive an onslaught from pundits like Ash Sarkar on Twitter, who before reading the report, upbraided, or rather assailed the credibility of Mrs Badenoch. But was met with resistance by Tom Harwood, another pundit. Ash Said:

I think it’s relevant that Kemi’s opinion on this matter isn’t actually representative of the community at large. Similarly, if a woman says “sexism isn’t an issue” then of course that’s relevant. But thank you, Talcum X, for taking the time to explain what racism is to us all!

So, now my question is, who's opinion exactly matters in the discourse of racism? According to leftists, it is the oppressed black man/woman, or more crudely the oppressed person of colour (POC). There cannot be any liberated coloured person, it is just not possible because liberation is reserved for whiteness. These leftist pundits feel as though people of colour are dummies and they are the ventriloquist who knows what direction is best for us — I am scared for the future of politics.
