⟳ Репост от Robert Chapman
Stuart Hall pointed out once that the left-liberal response to antiracism in the UK has been one of virtue and moral purity rather than systemic analysis and resistance. That is really showing here. This is part of a wider strategy. If you want to individualise it, you're playing their game.
Robert ChapmanThe whole strategy against Arday is about finding a few times where he may have been morally imperfect (e.g. exaggerating his proficiency at football as a child) and then using this to make it seem like he is a bad person who doesn't deserve solidarity in the face of an obviously racist campaign.
