Superficially black

 

This fellow here is a right example of what is defined as “superficially black”, indeed most ‘ethnic faces’ in British cabinet for last many years were superficially black. What Tony Blair’s party (that attacked Iraq and was responsible for many deaths and mayhem thereafter) aka Labour party must realize is that we are not living in 19th century wherein ‘black’ had only one meaning devoid of any context -not even human, and that of skin colour. World has evolved since so has the word ‘black’, now the word, apart from ofcourse the unfortunate reference to skin colour hence racism, has a political and social context too. What it essentially means is that Kwarteng although he is black -hence all the historical context of racism/slavery attached against it, his evolution into social political has been such that his skin colour identity has become rather superficial. He is a neoliberal elite in a powerful position, and has consistently been immune to social reality of common people or the precarious state of environment. His education has failed him. Hence he is superficially black. Not at all difficult to understand. And this bunch who don’t even understand basic semantics of discourse or contexts of reality we live in are providing the political alternative in Britain. They want to keep common people ossified and controlled within the binary narration that help their manipulation for power. How can people ever trust these who pose as liberal progressives and an alternative to buffoonery show in Britain? These polarizing binaries is a significant reason why the world is in such a sorry state. While market media do ‘balancing act’ i.e. both sideism, to give credibility to manipulations and fake narrations. Ossified semantics, narrow meanings, becomes main mode of controlling narration to keep it tethered to past that has no value or connection with challenges common people face, indeed it’s a distraction, a criminal negligence, a sadist game.
