She's a good woman but she's at that place, where she thinks identity politics can be put to one side and that a multicultural society can work. It's the colour blind argument that European countries invested in.

She's talented and so a success story of that worldview, however for every success story the majority aren't going to succeed....what keeps them cohesive also involves identity.

Basically, integration into a host country doesn't work on larger scales, it's nearly always multi generational and piecemeal....I don't know how many times it has to be evidenced, it's all about demographics and as they are allowed to grow so does diverging power dynamic and societal emphasis. You can't have that and not have division. Those that pretend otherwise are lying to themselves or support the anti white and cultural vandalism.

Yes you will always have racism, some form of division and a spectrum of socioeconomic groups. There is undoubtedly a lot of black people not reaching their potential or anywhere close to it and there will always be black people on low wages as whites with equal ability. More immigration will cluster this frustration together more and will happen more because there’s less desire or necessity to integrate if the minority community is larger. I wonder what the difference of achievement is for blacks in white areas compared to blacks in black areas. I’m certain I know there’s a big difference.

However, like you say, she is a success story and is all about action and pride in who you are and where you are, something I fully agree with. I think a lot of people would agree with this, and I bet if you only heard most of her students speak, a lot of them you wouldn’t know they were POC and in person most people would see they’ve adopted a British identity. A lot of the time it’s when people don’t want to that problems begin, and unfortunately there’s a lot of lefties that think why should they and why should they need to, or they should have the provision to explore their culture and spend 10 years in their 20’s in a recording studio for no purpose whatsoever.

Fair play wisbech, i"m suprised you held out so long, you have taken a lot of flack! Maybe come in and drop a few points, just so everyone can take them in, and only answer those you feel give a fair hearing, no need debating with lost souls, but make your point as people do read it, even if they don"t like it!

Lost souls, really! In what way? Yes I'm tarred I think by WE nd his infinite knowledge of everything. Did you actually read threads from 'racists'. Not one has said racism either way is good or correct. Just because some see kneeling the same way as raab. I myself have stated and you was taken aback somewhat that I would gladly kneel if it was meant to show i am categorically and totally against racism. The blm movement in its purest form was just this. Now though lots of conditions have been tagged on and I do not want to and cannot agree to these added conditions. How is that making someone a lost soul?

Yes she's clearly made a success of herself and should be proud of that. We should first and foremost take pride in our own accomplishments, instead of becoming absorbed in the experience and attitudes of others. That is where she succeeds and detaches herself from the mindset of those out on the streets. Then again the vast, vast majority of black people aren't on the streets or part of BLM. Perspective is important. Social media doesn't offer that nuance, you just hear the loudest voices and starkest views. It's the toy soldiers of the adult world.

We can all have a take on numbers and immigration - I tend to think that mass immigration only benefits the 1% due to cheap labour - but for all of 'her caught in the middle' she is most certainly where she belongs. This is her country too and she's role model material to others wishing to make something of their lives.

I think I largely agree with you.

As we know, she's a success story and she's a great role model. The children at her school are lucky.

If we could go back and basically have all the role models within minority communities like her then perhaps we would be looking at a different society....one where the colour blind stuff actually works.

But we have to face up to the facts on the ground.
People like her are thin on the ground. Indeed, look at the vast majority of influencers in the non white communities and the messages they give out. She correctly points it out herself, she's fighting a battle everyday.

Indeed, we only need to listen to the 'white liberals' and 'progressives', the media and even government to know that her message has no chance within the wider communities.

We can dose ourselves with painkiller or we can feel what's really happening.

If you listen to this 42 mins in she shows she’s aware there is racism and problems in multiculturalism and from what she’s doing in school she sees that the only way to achieve or do anything about it is to show you have what’s currently required rather than trying to change everything and to feel you belong in the country and society.

[Link]

And this on 23 mins

[Link]

Again in 30 mins says individuals everywhere will be racist

[Link]

The sort of underclass black community is a problem I agree. But if there were more teachers or head teachers like Katharine Birbalsingh like you say, then they probably wouldn’t be so unemployable or different sounding or difficult to relate to for the people doing the hiring. She looks at what the finished article a child should aspire for. Lefties obviously think differently and make excuses.

Sky are doing their bit putting up the warning message that films may contain “outdated attitudes, languages and cultural depictions which may cause offence today.”
Including Aladdin which was made way back In 2019 when the world was young.
