Trevor Phillips is anti-American
Such foam-flecked bigotry from the Chairman of the Commission for Racial Equality is gut-churning.
Until New Orleans held up the mirror to the USA, Americans, too, prided themselves on having found the holy grail of integration, with black millionaires, academics, business people and politicians alongside the sports and entertainment stars.
But in New Orleans the truth broke the surface. It showed us a society in which the average black child still attends a black majority school. A society in which the average white person returns home at the day’s end to all-white suburbs, where they won’t see a non-white face until they go back to the city the next day. A democracy in which black politicians, with a few notable exceptions, represent black districts, gerrymandered in order to provide the minimum of black representation. An economy in which black businessmen sell their wares largely to a black middle class. And an education system in which most black academics are teaching at all-black colleges or in urban institutions disproportionately packed with ethnic minority students.
When can we expect condemnation of Phillips, a man who is clearly full of hate for America and gloating about about its troubles?

He only does it ‘cos he hates their freedom…
The thing is (I seem to recall reading somewhere) the Commission for Racial Equality’s racist. And so’s Phillips. I can’t remember quite why, but it was an argument I saw set out at length somewhere like BBBC.
I think it had something to do with the idea that if you suggest that a higher percentage of black people come from lower socio-economic groups than white people (as the CRE does), and then suggest that people from lower socio-economic groups tend to have a higher propensity to commit illegal acts (as the CRE has), that means that you are acknowledging the BNP hypothesis of black inferiority and criminality based on skin colour, and therefore you’re a racist.
Basically along the lines of “you believe in dogs, Hitler believed in dogs, therefore you are responsible for the deaths of 6 million Jews”. Perfect logic.
