The thing about those Dawn Butler and Diane Abbott texts: MOST BW probs know what it& #39;s like to KNOW splinter groups of colleagues are talking shit about you with regards to your anti-racist stance, but you still have to show up. My heart breaks for these 2 women, and I love them
Many times it will be people who want to associate with your work to score & #39;Equality, Diversity, Inclusion& #39; brownie points. Remember how Clemmie Hooper interviewed Candice Braithwaite, only to turn around and use her burner account to say Candice & #39;always brings up race& #39;?
I am very aware the leaked texts show that many people, and causes, were targeted. I focus on these 2 BW because the fact they wade through so much hatred on the daily and STILL face THE SAME insidious racism from their own colleagues, says a lot.
