@AimeeMaroux@mastodon.socialApparently voicing that #racism is bad and that #feminism isn't solved now makes me a "radical leftist".
I had assumed that these were mainstream consensus but here we are.

@unchartedworlds@scicomm.xyzDiane Abbott in her own words
"Over the nearly 40 years that I have been an MP, under any speaker of the House of Commons that I can remember, I would have been called. ... Hester’s abusive comments about me had led the news bulletins that day, and I was referred to several times in PMQs itself."
Her article also refers back to the Forde Report, which documented Labour politicians' horrible comments about her.

Also, I hadn't seen this at first, but apparently how they request to speak is by standing up, and she stood up 40 times & was ignored every time! So rude. Can't believe Lindsay Hoyle would have treated a white bloke the same.

@adrianriskin@kolektiva.socialForced labor was the foundation of an economic system that knew no color boundaries; like an open sore the plantations grew upon the Caribbean, and when the Indians died, and the supply of white trash failed to meet demand, the merchants tapped deeper into Africa, drawing away men and women not because they were black, but because they were cheap, limitless in number, and better. European class societies whose elite thought nothing of hanging an English child for petty theft, or packing indentured workers, white or black, like herring into the festering holds of ships, cared less about the origins of their laborers than the production of their labor. Slavery was not born of racism; rather, racism was the consequence of slavery. In the first days of colonialism, when the merchants sailed away from the insular world of Europe, the color of the worker’s skin meant no more to them than it did to the kings of Africa, rulers who lorded over thousands of their own slaves, and who for a suitable profit were more than willing to pass them along. Of course, all of this mattered little to the men and women unloaded into bondage in Saint Domingue. For them the enemy had a face, and there was no doubt as to its color.

@chris@mstdn.chrisalemany.caAs an employee, this is humiliating. Like a flashback to the 2000s after 9/11 except it would have been unconscionable then, as it is now, that this kind of thing might have happened.
