The Labour Party punished one of its MPs for calling Chancellor
Kwarteng, a Tory, "superficially black" — presuming that truly having
your skin of a certain color depends on something other than skin color.
Ms Huq's statement was both racist and a distraction from what
matters. The problem with Kwarteng is not his skin color. Whether he
is "superficially" black or really and truly black, whether he is
black at all, are hardly even politically significant.
What's wrong with Kwarteng is that he's really and truly Tory — a
plutocratist and a henchman of dooH niboR. He's lower than vermin.
He is trying to impoverish everyone in Britain who's not wealthy or
specially fortunate, whatever color per skin is. Why even try to look
for a worse thing to say about him than that?
