It is always a pleasure to come across someone who manages to elucidate their knowledge on a particular subject with great articulacy, eloquence and force to such a degree as to make any repetition by me superfluous.
Well, I am indebted to a certain Dr Gavin Ashenden (above) above a former C of E Bishop who changed denomination and became a Roman Catholic. He now is the Associate Editor of the Catholic Herald (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gavin_Ashenden).
In this article (https://catholicherald.co.uk/the-ideological-error-of-welbys-100-million-fund-to-compensate-descendants-of-slavery/) he comments upon the decision of the Archbishop of Canterbury. However, it appears that Dr Ashenden is somewhat off the mark as the C of E intends to seek to endow the descendants of slavery with up to £1 billion as requested by Bishop ! Herewith the Associated Press report: https://apnews.com/article/anglican-church-slavery-fund-england-32b48eee7d5c92c5738a8899ac3b48b6 and:
I included the Daily Mail for it is instructive to the public mood when the comments from the tabloid reading public are taken into the mix. Of course, comments from Daily Mail readers are despised and ignored by the smart Wokeist set in Islington. However this is a grave mistake for they indicate that the reparations mania being indulged in by the woke elite is well on course to create a monumental backlash.
You see, as Labour politicians like to point out, many people are suffering and struggling with making things meet. Many low paid workers have more than one job and cumulatively, work very long hours to make a living wage. Sky high energy bills brought about by the maniacal policy of “Net Zero” aggravate their plight.
Thus it is the case that when these good folk find that their children are being indoctrinated with a perverse form of racism (racial prejudice against their own ethnicity) and told that they possess “white privilege” they as parents would complain were it not for the knowledge that if they do they could be labelled as “far right” and “racist” by the local eduction department and social services and might even receive a visit from the police who would advise them that they are investigating a “non crime hate incident”.
Such good folks are incensed at this because although the police have the time and capacity to investigate “non crime hate incidents”, they seemingly lack the capacity to investigate burglaries and shop lifting offences. This anger is increased when they see the police and criminal justice system throw even handedness out of the palace window when they see a man imprisoned for distributing inflammatory comments on bumper [US fender] stickers whereas some pro Palestinian demonstrators project a genocidal slogan on the Elizabeth Tower and no action by the police is taken!
Thus it will be that when these long suffering good folk witness the established church dispense £100 million and aims to encourage the super rich to donate a further £900 to £1,000 million to the descendants of the victims of the West African slave trade they will justifiably cry out “What about us?” This because the ancestors of the indigenous working class were also brutally and cruelly treated.
This anti white racism is very very dangerous. If I was a jaundiced cynic who habitually assumed the very worst motives to people I might conclude that those activists advocating EDI (Equality, Diversity, Inclusion) are actually pursuing an alternative strategy, EDI – Exclusion, Division, Inequality.
It is entirely possible that some members of the woke elite are thinking long term – 25 years – when the UK’s demographic structure has changed completely. Given the vast differences in birth rates between the numbers ethnic communities in the UK in 2050 the white indigenous community will be in the minority and Christianity will no longer be the largest religious group.
