Apparently the decision by Sainsburys to feature an all black family in their Christmas Ad on TV has stirred up a few racist remarks and the above mentioned gentleman has written in the Independent that this proves that Britain is racist and asks why we cannot just accept that the family in Sainsbury's ad "just happens to be black?"
I would like to confirm that until recently that would have been exactly my reaction. No need for diversity (no mix of races), just the simple fact that a nice family in the UK today can just as likely be black as white, or any other colour come to that. But now, due to the OTT efforts of BLM, every time I see a black face on TV, in an advert as well as on any other TV programme, I notice them and I am forced to wonder if this is tokenism or just some woke TV exec choosing black people because they think it might gain them some Brownie points (unfortunate choice of words, but the capital B signifies that I am referring to a common aphorism that is applied in this country to a well thought of organisation for pre-teen girls).
I feel sad that this rude disruption of my otherwise innocent view of race politics has so rudely ended my positive ideas of my society and my feelings of harmony to the extent that whenever I see a TV programme or advert, I find myself counting the black faces to check that at least the 3% that they actually represent in British society is recognised. The count incidentally rarely adds up to less than 10% and, as the Sainsbury's add illustrates can be 100%. When will the WIPMR majority (White, Indian, Pakistani & Mixed race) people of this country be allowed the reflection of its 97% representation?
It makes me really angry that this tiny minority of the tiny minority can call me racist and change my previously benign attitude towards the colour of another persons skin so dramatically and increase my dislike of the woke white population to loathing. This excoriating movement can only be intended to bring about racial conflict.
