Shadow Health Minister Diane Abbott has apologised for any offence caused by comments she made on Twitter, after claims they were racist.
She said she had not meant to generalise when she wrote: ''White people love playing 'divide & rule'".

As we see here it is clear that while her claim may contain merit, it probably does, deteriorating race relations are always a result of the two opposing races, unable to escape from their everpresent conflict.
In utopia, the scales of racial justice are supposedly evened. But how do you prevent conflict when every option is a reaction to the past? That's why war is inevitable... that's why Ms. Abbott is right, and that is why white people should be offended that despite their most democratic intentions they have not created a Western utopia.
