Corbyn’s tweet approximately Labour unlocking the potential of black and minority ethnic Britain was insulting and deserves ridiculeOn Tuesday I spent the evening mocking Jeremy Corbyn’s crass,clunky and insulting tweet, which read: Only Labour can be trusted to unlock the talent of Black, or Asian and Minority Ethnic people.” These words were emblazoned on a graphic with a serious-looking Corbyn with the Labour logo. “Only Labour.” Really?There in black and white on my iPad was the message that black people can’t reach their full potential without the intervention of the Labour party. That Asian parents are unable to help their children with their schoolwork and rep a good job without help. That immigrant families can’t start their own businesses. That none of these things are possible without the Labour party. Related: Democrats take us black voters for granted.
