This author thinks that white liberals are as duplicitous and hypocritical as their Conservative counterparts.

While white Conservatives have always worn their bigotry as a badge of honour, liberals love to pretend as though they are completely liberated from the naked prejudices of their antagonists.

At the best of times, these liberals see Black people mainly as pawns in competition with their rivals for influence in society and the wider world.

Again, this is true in the United States as it is in the United Kingdom.

The business of finding a Black voice who is elevated among his or her peers and given a degree of relevance is an all too familiar preoccupation with this select group.

And the business of tearing down the same Black voice whom they have elevated is something which liberals have been known to do over time.

The likes of Ibram Kendi, Ta-Nehisi Coates and the founders of the Black Lives Matter movement have been huge beneficiaries of this approach and when the author of why we should all be anti-racist’s tax affairs were given the specialist treatment in the liberal press, we knew that it was only a matter of time before they came for Professor Coates.
