THE report from the Commission on Race and Ethnic Disparities released earlier this week represents a conscious attempt to roll back or even abolish the concept of institutional racism altogether.
If the government is successful in this it would turn back the clock on all efforts to make public bodies in some way accountable for racist practices. It would have negative consequences for every worker facing discrimination at work, or in housing, schools and in every aspect of life.
All types of funding, investigation and action would end, as the government would have abolished all discussion of this issue, and decreed that it was a non-existent problem.
