The "no other party since the BNP" line about Labour & the EHRC is at best naive, at worst insulting.

The Tories policies killed Black people - yet no investigation.

The EHRC has been found to have institutional anti-Black issues.

Stop using them as an anti-racism benchmark.

People cannot keep using the "no other party since the BNP" line and expect Black people not to get angry - especially when the EHRC has been found to be failing Black people institutionally.

It's tantamount to telling Black people their lives, and deaths, don't matter.

The EHRC's use of "institutional racism" to investigate Labour, while they simultaneously failed Black people as Black people *died*, is also painful.

The term was coined during the Macpherson Report which found the Met to be "institutionally" racist towards Black people.

As a Black Jew, I've exercised as much patience and restraint as I could on all of this - because I naively hoped it would sort itself out.

But it gets to a stage where I can't abide by the discourse around this subject anymore - it's deeply harmful and painful to Black people.

Not only this, but the wilful ignorance about the EHRC's failings have now given ammo to people who want to deny antisemitism in Labour all together.

Everyone that has glorified the EHRC has a role to play in addressing this now - enough is enough.

And it's not just Black people in the Conservative party - it's also Muslims in the Tory party that have been victims of horrific racism.

And it's not just the Tories - there is racism towards other minorities, including *MPs*, in Labour too.

This cannot be ignored anymore.

All of this is made worse when people say "no other minority would be treated like this" when they talk about Jews in Labour.

Not only is it a lie, which hurts other minorities, it also hurts Jews - isolating us & alienating others from us.

I won't tiptoe around this anymore.

Part of moving on from this cycle of factional shit in Labour is recognising that the narrative around everything has often been one of cognitive dissonance.

Until that happens, the cycle will continue - and there'll be no end in sight.

I'm sick of antisemitism in Labour, and I'm sick of Black people's lives and deaths being treated as irrelevant and unimportant.

As a Black Jew, I won't allow Jews to be used as political weapons to steamroll over, and bury, the lives of Black people and say nothing.
