A Tory MP has defended the Government’s approach to encouraging racial equality, saying the UK is “one of the best countries in the world to be a black person”.
Women and Equalities minister Kemi Badenoch rejected suggestions that being black amounts to a “death sentence” in this country, saying Britons should not accept such statements.
She was responding to questions from Labour MP Rupa Huq on the Black Lives Matter protests which have swept London since the killing of African-American man George Floyd.
“She (Ms Badenoch) talked about having courage and being a black woman herself.
“She and I are both BAME parents, can we really look into our sons’ eyes and say that we acknowledged it? Surely we need action, it’s not good enough.”

Even the US is one of the best countries in the world to be a black person. I bet if people were given a choice where to be born they would still pick the US.
There is a big rally in London supporting black lives matter, going on now. We once claimed the moral authority to criticize what other nations do. Now they have the perfect retort. We are as bigoted as any other nation.
The UK isn't a country, Comrade maggot- and your Tory MP holds a privileged position.UK is 'one of the best countries in the world to be a black person,' says Tory MP
" First they came for the journalists...
We don't know what happened after that . "
