Kemi Badenoch: 'White Supremacy In Black Face'

The UK’s newly-elected Conservative Party leader, Kemi Badenoch, has faced widespread criticism from Nigerians and other Black people who say she panders and appeals to far-right racists.

That includes London-based Nigerian journalist Nels Abbey (@NelsAbbey on X) calling her ‘white supremacy in blackface’ and the ‘most prominent member of white supremacy’s Black collaborator class [in Britain].’ He added that ‘a victory for Badenoch is an obvious, unprecedented and once inconceivable victory for racism.’

Here are some reasons Badenoch is being received in this manner.
