Welsh Government Announces Plan to Become an ‘Anti-Racist Nation’

Wales’ Labour-run government has announced its aim to take action to turn Wales into an equitable anti-racist nation through mandatory anti-racism training and lessons for school children and all public bodies.

On Tuesday, the Welsh government announced its Anti-racist Wales Action Plan to “eradicate” racism from the NHS, hospitals, schools, and more in the country.

The plan (pdf) was drawn up by a group co-chaired by Cardiff University’s Prof Emmanuel Ogbonna and Andrew Goodall, permanent secretary to the Welsh government.

Anti-racism Is Marxist Ideology

In the introduction to the plan (pdf), the nationalist-Marxist militant organisation the Black Panthers was quoted: “If you are not part of the solution, you are part of the problem.” It added that it was inspired by George Floyd to take action.

Floyd, a 46-year-old black man, died after a Minneapolis police officer held his knee against Floyd’s neck and back for approximately nine-and-a-half minutes as Floyd laid handcuffed and face-down on the pavement while another officer restrained his lower body and a third officer knelt on Floyd’s back.

Floyd’s death prompted mass demonstrations in many countries as protestors called for racial justice.

Minister for Social Justice, Jane Hutt said that “the Anti-Racist Wales Action Plan for Wales is built on the values of Anti-racism, and calls for actions to be taken in terms of our policies and ways of working rather than putting the burden on ethnic minority people to act.”

Anti-racism is one teaching of Critical Race Theory (CRT), which is a Marxist ideology. It defines class struggle between “oppressors” (white people) and the “oppressed” (everybody else), as was done with Marxism’s reduction of human history to a struggle between the “bourgeoisie” and the “proletariat.”

Prof. Emmanuel Ogbonna of Cardiff Business School said in the introduction of the plan that racism is “constantly mutating.”

“Racism is constantly mutating. If we fail to eradicate it, it will continue through generations,” he said. “It becomes a perverse inheritance that expresses itself in different mutations, and that blights the lives of future generations in different ways.
