Anti-racism doctrine has encouraged abuse and endangered lives, he says...
A former equality chief has branded his years working to stamp out racial discrimination as 'utterly wrong'.
Writer and broadcaster Trevor Phillips said efforts made under the Blair government turned anti-racism into an 'ugly new doctrine'.
Mr Phillips is the former chairman of the Equality and Human Rights Commission and has waged a 30-year campaign to tackle issues around discrimination and equality.
In an upcoming Channel 4 documentary, called Things We Won't Say About Race That Are True, he says attempts to stop prejudice instead encouraged abuse and endangered lives as well as contributed to the rise of parties like Ukip.
In the 75-minute documentary, he delves into Britain's racial tensions and stereotypes as well as hostilities towards immigrants.
He explains: 'It was my job to to make sure that different racial and religious groups got on.
'Campaigners like me seriously believed that if we could prevent people expressing prejudiced ideas then eventually they would stop thinking them.
'But now I'm convinced we were utterly wrong.'
...But Mr Phillips insists people should be free to use racial stereotypes, such as that many Jews are rich or that black people are more likely to be convicted for robbery, because they are true.
Explaining the issue, he said: 'The dividing lines of race, religion and culture are probably the most dangerous flashpoints in Britain today, but they're also the ones we find hardest to talk about in public.

A government can change behavior, but not beliefs, through the use of force. The Romans learned that in dealing with Christianity.
There is an unintended consequence to every law and policy.
Stay tuned. Keep those hopes up and those fingers crossed.
Pray if you're of that sort.
He helped the ongoing conquest of the West by the Third World.
"Ah. Nothing for you to worry your pretty li'l head about, m'love. Whatever he's saying, nobody will remember it by morning."
Just wow. Bolshevik Thought Crime.
This is who the British brought into power voting for the "Labor" party.
Guess Orwell isnt as well known in his own country as we might think.
Oops, sorry, didn't mean to think on my own there...will report myself
So did the Bolsheviks. Try as they did they could not eliminate religion in the old USSR.
And they’re trying the same thing here in the US as well.
It’s been back-firing for sometime.
Why do we need “equality chiefs” at “Equality and Human Rights Commissions,” with a whole bunch of documentaries, hand-wringing, laws, etc.? All this just proves that diversity is NOT a strength and multiculturalism doesn’t work. If it did, people would simply celebrate it naturally, and all the commissions and rules and laws, etc. wouldn’t be necessary. Diversity causes nothing but problems, and people have to be forced and pressured to accept it.
It’s true in America too. The PC thought crime police have set race relations back 100 years.
Nobody can discuss a problem if it involves race, you are labeled a racist for even bringing it up, and the discussion is over.
Blacks whine that the police harass their kids, but you can’t tell them the reason is because they let their kids dress like gang-banger drug dealers. If you do you are a racist that doesn’t understand their ‘culture’, and the discussion is over.
Great Britain, to all intents and proposes, had no race problem - until the muslimes came along.
But the President of the United State sis free to defame Catholics in the name of defending Muslims.
Exactly. I like how Joseph Sobran put it in this video clip:

Agreed. This is as remarkable and unexpected as what is going on with Hillary. There seems to have been a glitch in the Matrix.
