The refusal to accept that black & brown Brits have the full range of political, ideological & ethical views held by humans generally is the most insulting thing here. CSJ advocates really need to read a wider range of non-white intellectuals, pundits, journalists etc https://twitter.com/epkaufm/status/1329078133597736964
This is something that makes addressing these issues very difficult for liberal lefties like me. I am caught between mostly disagreeing with, eg, black conservatives while also pointing out to SocJus people that they exist & haven't stopped being black coz conservative.
I actually admire Kemi Badenoch a lot, despite her unfortunate conservatism. I don't think she's going to deny that racism still exists or that social measures are needed to address it rather than just individual ones (as some conservatives, including black ones do).
One of my aims for the near future that I really want to prioritise is commissioning black intellectuals & popular writers to produce essays summarising their favourite black intellectuals who address issues of racism & arguing why their approach is particularly valuable.
I want these to range from Ibram X Kendi to Thomas Sowell. Then I want schools & universities to set the series of essays or book as required reading. I think refuting standpoint epistemology & making people aware of viewpoint diversity among all races is becoming quite urgent.
I want young Brits of all races to know that they can hold whatever political, ideological, religious or ethical views they themselves as individuals deem most respectworthy. Then I want them all to decide to be left-leaning, secular, liberal humanists.
