A brilliant piece, thank you Frank. I was struck that for a while Anti-Racism seemed to have mutated into it's opposite: it is now obsessed with seeing the world in Racial terms so the idea of common humanity has been trunced, it eschews Equality for Equity, and sees hierarchies of victimhood. I wandered whether there exists a coherent sense of 'Blackness' and whether this could be sustained in the rise of intersectional identity politics? In view of what has happened around the gender critical response to Trans could we start to see - for want of better term - this movement eating its own, or does this movement have its own status and logic as it were?
