She loves playing it up for white supremacy
She’ll be long gone before the next general election anyway, she’s got nothing but culture wars in her locker.
She’s not even very good at it. Labor have handed her plenty of actual ammunition but she is unable to see it.
What had she actually said? In terms of corruption Nigeria ranks somewhere between Russia and Zimbabwe so it’s not great and I assume contrasting that to her experiences in the UK were likely formative to her opinions of the countries.
The white supremacists will say “she’s one of the good ones”.
In my opinion it’s racist to assume black people hold right wing political views just to be a “pick-me” for white people. Maybe people from minority ethnic backgrounds simply don’t agree on every issue?
She uses her upbringing in Nigeria as a shield against criticism. But she was privileged in Nigeria she was hardly someone who had to fear for their life whatever she claims.
Case in point when things in Nigeria got really bad she fucked off to the United States, so clearly she was never actually in all that much danger or she would have left earlier. Remember she was a UK national the entire time so she could have also returned to the UK whenever she wanted.
Personally I think it’s racist to misrepresent your history in order to come off as cultured.
I think you’re right.
