She certainly has suffered horrible racist and sexist abuse which we shouldn't laugh off... But that doesn't mean all abuse she gets is racist or sexist.Originally posted by MaryPoppinsI'd still not breastfeed a naziOriginally posted by vetranUrine is quite nourishingComment

She's a lefty black woman. All abuse is automatically sexist and racist. The theory is that if she was a white man, she wouldn't get the abuse, because being a lefty, she's automatically a decent person - unlike Tory scum.Down with racism. Long live miscegenation!Comment

Saying someone is "useless" or "tulip" or "fat" isn't sexist or racist but adding certain descriptions to it can make it so.
Other female, non-white and gay MPs regardless of party face the same issues. The vast majority of them say nothing as they don't want more abusive letters, emails and social media posts sent to them for pointing it out."You’re just a bad memory who doesn’t know when to go away" JRComment
