If you'd asked us before 2020 if Diane Abbott, of all people, would be suspended from the Labour Party for racist views, we would have laughed in your face and gone about our business. But alas, once again, Britain has shown us that she really isn't that girl. We take a deep dive into the mess that was Auntie Diane's letter, in response to Tomiwa Owolade⁠'s article about the complexities of race, and Tomiwa's subsequent response, which amplified the racist pile on towards Diane Abbott on social media. Was he wrong to reply? Should he have just gone outside to touch grass? Was his response rooted in anti-Blackness?

Spoiler alert...yes! And we'll explain why.
