We all become much too sensitive,
The comments were right for her,
Because of her own experiences,
Once you're black it's evident.
Others' experiences are valid too,
When it comes to nakedness on first sight,
People will often hold back judgement and comment,
For fear of getting in wrong.
It's important to remember empathy,
And put ourselves in place ' place,
Only then can we truly understand,
And deal with issues with grace.
So let us strive to be more aware,
Of the experiences of those around,
And let our interactions be guided,
By what empathy has found.
We all become much too sensitive,
The comments were right for her,
Because of her own experiences,
Once you're black it's evident.

What?…..it’s Political…stupid!…..Total realignment in politics/policy/Parties…..Neoliberalism needs Right Extremism….wait and see GE……me….no choice

Diane Abbott is a great MP and passionate campaigner and anti-racist. I think she's being treated unjustly and I fully support her. Labour just want to get rid of anyone associated with Corbyn and what the Corbyn project stood for - social justice, peace, labour rights etc.

She has a good record of anti-racism and expelling her for her poor choice of words seems vindictive to me. Could the real reason be that she is on the left?

The way that Diane has been treated is an example of how black people continue to be second class citizens in UK

Give Diane back the whip. She has been a driving force for change within the party and does not need to be treated this way. She apologised for her mistake. Equal treatment for all.

The Home Secretary called migrants criminals and broke the ministerial code, yet wasn't even criticised by the PM and not investigated. Diane Abbott must be restored to her position. She represents my community, the black community.

We stand by Diane Abbot as far as she has withdrawn her statements and apologies it means she had shown remorse. Every human being can make a mistake but as soon as the they remorse they just warned.
