Boris Johnson’s Conservative government has joined President Trump in casting a jaundiced eye on Critical Race Theory, the Marxist construct that views all whites as oppressors and all blacks as victims simply because of the race they were born into. It is an ideological system that embraces and promotes blood guilt or inherited guilt.
Kemi Badenoch, a Tory member of parliament representing Saffron Walden, is Exchequer Secretary to the Treasury in Johnson’s government, and also holds the dubious title of “Under-secretary of state for Equalities.” She spoke recently in parliament about Critical Race Theory:
“I want to be absolutely clear: this government stands unequivocally against Critical Race Theory.”
She noted that Black Lives Matter is a Leftist political movement that is pushing a lot of nonsense like defunding the police, and she noted that a white BLM activist called a black bobby who was guarding 10 Downing Street a “pet n**ger.”
“We do not want to see teachers teaching their white pupils about white privilege and inherited racial guilt. And let me be clear, any school which teaches these elements of Critical Race Theory as fact, or which promotes partisan political views such as defunding the police, without offering a balanced treatment of opposing views is breaking the law.”
Kemi Badenoch is an impressive person. Born in Wimbledon to parents of Nigerian origin, Badenoch spent much of her childhood in Lagos, Nigeria, and the United States. Returning to England at age 16, she worked at a McDonalds before attending college and studying computer systems engineering at the University of Sussex. She worked as a software engineer at the IT consulting firm, Logica, as a systems analyst for the Royal Bank of Scotland, and as an associate at the private bank and wealth manager, Coutts & Co. She also earned a law degree and worked for the Spectator.
