As just one difference — as Kat Blaque points out — two white European parents cannot give birth to an African child. (Even though the idea of separate, clearly defined races is a social construct,  it’s certainly based on certain physical traits held in common by different geographical groupings.) But any two…

Others have broken it down better than I could, but I just want to add (by way of Ijeoma Oluo) that one distinction between the two is that transgender is a two-way street while transrace is not. Meaning, a man can just about as easily become a woman and pass as a woman, as a woman can become a man and pass as a man.…

There’s a lot more that goes on to make a ‘Race’ than just skin colour.

In my opinion and experience, people who claim they “relate to” or “feel” they are black (or maybe another race) express frivolous reasons: they like black music, they feel comfortable around black people more than white, etc. It’s never something more compelling as it is with someone who identifies as a different…

it doesn’t. I live 15 minutes up the road from the mosque, these are just ordinary people going about their business. The extremists were purged a long time ago.

Further to that, Abu Hamza was barred from that mosque about 15 years ago.

history, not the present

So many of the residents were immigrants, perhaps with limited English and probably completely unaware of the regulations, the landlords’ obligations, and their rights.

Haha, they don’t need to be heard. That is the dumbest, most hateful fucking stick of shit I’ve ever seen. And I’m sure it sums up your risible political philosophy perfectly. You’re the classic example of the person who says, “Don’t politicize this tragedy while it’s fresh in anyone’s mind. Wait until they forget…

And May is better?

you are despicable. i have just come from the protest tonight in kensington. this tragedy IS political. the residents i heard speak tonight know who is responsible for this sickening crime and believe me, as another said before me, theresa may (maybe learn how to spell her name if you love her so much?) needs no help…

The point is, the residents need to live somewhere nearby. He’s offering a solution. A good solution. The people who own those empty places should be falling all over themselves to offer them up for people to live in. Maybe you want them relocated to Wales and I’m sure the Tories would love that, too.

This is what you DO as a politician.

You know what might actually incite riots? The fact that the powers that be deliberately allowed Grenfell Tower to exist as a death-trap and did nothing except ignore the people who raised concerns and threatened them with legal action.

You disgust me.

They DO hate the working class. Always have, always will.

Last time you checked, maybe. But, with a little luck and a lot of brain power at work, maybe next time you check it won’t be legal anymore. It’s civically despicable and should not be permitted in urban areas at all. Tax the living shit out of anybody who ties up all these properties and doesn’t do a single fucking…

Class-baiting will helpfully push him into the PM chair.

You’re an imbecile is what you are. He’s the leader of the Labour Party and the Tory leader won’t meet with the residents and survivors. They need to be heard and May doesn’t want to hear what they have to say. It’s his political and moral obligation to go there. It’s a very lucky thing you’re not a political leader.…

Teresa May didn’t need any help looking bad.
