How Anti-Racism Is KILLING People
3 Things I Learned
Michael Murphy makes a case that should be impossible to dismiss: anti-racism ideology, as applied inside British and American institutions over the past 25 years, has directly caused preventable deaths. Not through malice, but through fear. The fear of being accused of racism has become so powerful inside the NHS, the police, and our security services that professionals have repeatedly failed to act on obvious warning signs.
The result is a body count - three people killed by a man doctors chose not to section, tens of thousands of girls abused by gangs nobody wanted to name, 22 dead at a concert because a security guard was too scared to intervene.
Murphy traces how this ideology embedded itself in British institutions and asks whether the grooming gang inquiry is finally the moment we’re forced to confront what it has actually cost.

A doctor chose not to section Valdo Calocane because she was worried about the optics of detaining a black man. Three years later he killed three people.
After George Floyd, homicides in America spiked 30%. The biggest victims were black people - a 40% rise in black homicides. The “racial reckoning” caused a massacre.
The security guard at the Ariana Grande concert thought Salman Abedi looked suspicious but didn’t stop him. He was afraid of being called racist. 22 people died.
