The words are different, but it's essentially the same point, that there is more than one quality of racism.bjn wrote: Fri Jul 18, 2025 11:49 am Her words were different though, previously she call racism against jews “prejudice” as opposed to black people experiencing racism. From what I’ve read, she now calls both such forms of discrimination racism, but that it was expressed differently for different groups, especially if you were clearly a member of that group because of skin colour.
It was probably not the wisest move politically nor the best way to express what she appears to be trying to say.
Clearly, there must be a difference between racism which is about colour and other types of racism because you can see a Traveller or a Jewish person walking down the street, you don’t know.
I just think that it’s silly to try and claim that racism which is about skin colour is the same as other types of racism. I don’t know why people would say that.
It seems that she must be trying to say - and I'm afraid it does make me think of the Four Yorkshiremen - that a certain group has it harder, and so suffer more than certain others. Is that to try and say, and so we are more deserving of something? Or is it just to communicate to that group, to say, I'm on your side, vote for me?
