err, is there such a racial category? if so, what does it mean to be "superficially black"? and what accent are ethnic minority people supposed to use to ensure listeners know what race they are?

[Paigntonian]

Idiotic remark.

[bobbinwales]

My guess it mean's he is black on the outside but thinks and acts like a whiteman

[FatticusInch]

Racist slurs from one ethnic minority to another tend not to gain much traction.
You need a WASP for it to garner sufficient media attention and outrage.

I’m guessing the MP in question is implying something along the lines of this, without using the actual slur:

All standard stuff for the Conservative Party?
Sunak never had a chance.

They’ve acted swiftly.

More racism from the usual suspects- glad they've booted her- it's a good start!

Who are the ‘usual suspects’, I’m intrigued? Plus she’s suspended thus far, not booted.

One could opine that in another party as say maybe a deputy Chief Whip she would have had it covered up and actually been promoted for inappropriate behaviour, couldn’t one?

[Spungle]

Labour is an institutionally racist party, as the EHR report found. Diane Abbott being a prime offender. Keir should continue to cleanse the filth.

[bobbinwales]

Glad she's been suspended ...well done Kier. I'm not sure what's meant by the usual suspects in this case but certainly the usual suspects on both sides on AB are trying to make silly party political generalisations and score points on this

So you’d agree that the Conservative Party too is institutionally racist, in light of the links provided?
It’s undeniable.

Baroness Warsi, a Tory peer confirms it.

[naomi24]

Moron.

[Atheist]

Naomi; to whom is your monosyllabic retort directed?

[Mozz71]

Atheist //to whom is your monosyllabic retort directed?//

"Moron" definitely has two syllables.

[bobbinwales]

I thought it were obvious naomi meant The mp in the op .

[royfromaus]

I wonder why does she hates white people?

[royfromaus]

David Lammy is quite happy with the right type of racism
