A UK activist who calls herself the “Black Panther of Oxford” wants to create a “race offenders” registry that would bar alleged racists from getting work or living near communities of color.
Sasha Johnson, 26, divulged the agenda for the Taking the Initiative Party, a political group in the UK that’s inspired by Black Lives Matter.
The registry of racists is similar to the sex offenders registry, Johnson told the Daily Mail.
“If you were to be racially abusive to someone, [the register] would question whether someone is fit enough to hold a particular job where their bias could influence another person’s life,” said Johnson, who serves as an executive committee member of TTIP and oversees activism.
“A lot of racism happens at work and places of education in a micro-aggressive way,” she added. “If you exhibit an element of bias at work, you should probably receive a warning first [before later being added to the register] so people know in future that you hold these views.”
The national registry would also bar alleged offenders from living near ethnic minority groups and include anyone “accused” or “charged” with a race crime.
“If you live in a majority-colored neighborhood, you shouldn’t reside there because you’re a risk to those people, just like if a sex offender lived next to a school he would be a risk to those children,” Johnson explained.
She said BLM first hatched the idea of the registry and presented it to the TTIP at a conference.
TTIP was formed over the summer as protests against racial inequality swept the globe following the police killing of George Floyd in Minnesota in late May.
The group is also calling for reparations in the form of tax breaks for black communities.
“Reparations can take the form of tax-free periods, which would give time to build back up economic stability in black communities,” said Johnson. “We have to remember that the Jewish community received reparations for the Holocaust, and no one speaks about forgetting the Holocaust.”
