She works in the political system where she sees thing that you are not privy to she also has life experiences that you are not privy of. So I may have better understanding of her views.

How so ,do you know her personally or do you work with her ....or are you her ......or is just cos' you is black that makes you the authority on her life experiences

She has seen how “the establishment” (which we know are white heterosexual males) have made things difficult for ethnic minorities .

nonsense ,ethnic minorities have as much say in this country as anybody else ,in fact i will go as far as to say that in my opinion their voice is louder

However, I like others always laugh when I hear the word “Black Community” or “Black Community Leaders” banded about - As my first thought is where is this Black Community or who maketh you our leader where and when was the election.
|
There shouldn't be a "black community" there should just be a "community"
Abbots tireless work for the "black community" only serves to encourage distance between blacks and whites and does nothing for racial harmony ,as i said before she and others like her are the "black communities"worst enemy

When people of Diane Abbott age group hear younger people dismiss the phrase “Black Community” or “Black Community Leaders” they take it as a personal insult as that young person is benefiting from the tireless work people like Diane Abbott have put in.
|
Maybe that's because the youngsters have more sense and don't want to be singled out into a separate community or treated as a cause to be fought for by someone with a political agenda

I could go on about experiences of ethnic minorities (but Russ would want links to websites) and I can’t be asked

no, He,I and others(mainly the mods) would want some tangible evidence if you are going to make claims of racism
