Diane Abbott should resign over her racist comment on Twitter 'White people love playing divide and rule'?

Additional Information

"White people love playing 'divide & rule'. We should not play their game" followed by "#tacticasoldascolonialism"

This was clearly a racist comment and as a MP is totally unacceptable, especially in light of the postion Diane holds.

I agree with Conservative MP Nadhim Zahawi who stated on BBC Radio 5 live: "This is racism. If this was a white member of Parliament saying that all black people want to do bad things to us he would have resigned within the hour or be sacked.For a shadow minister to hold these sort of views is intolerable, it is wrong, she needs to go."
