Oh yes, our old friend shows up again. The racist backlash to a Black fighter robustly beating a white one has a loooong history. Lynchings would occur when Jack Johnson, the first Black celebrity sports person, would defeat white opponents. He was asked not to celebrate victories over white boxers. Nick Buckley just carries on tradition.

On August 1st, I was interviewed on Times Radio about Jason Arday. Jason asked me how long I thought the hounding would continue; I said: “perhaps two days. Three days max”. 14 days of nonstop headlines and harassment later, Jason was found dead.

Not that it ever really mattered, but Jason Arday did actually play semi-pro football as he said he did. And even if he didn't, nothing he did or said warranted the mass-murderer-worthy press hysteria and hounding to a very predictable death that he was subjected to.

I'm a fan of Simon Jordan, but Eni Aluko is 100% right here. It is straight up racist to label a Black or Brown person a "DEI hire". Also "DEI vs merit" is a false dichotomy. "DEI vs proximity to power" is the right comparison.

"The main purpose of minstrel shows was to entertain white audiences through the systematic mockery and racial stereotyping of Black people" "The minstrel show separated African Americans from their humanity" The neo-minstrel show is no different.

This could prove a very expensive error by GB News. Drake is famously litigious, accusing him of "rapping about raping women" is quite a false claim to make on air.

Lord Maurice Glasman just gave the wildest political interview I've seen in a long time on Sky News. "The govt and the party has to repent and reject New Labour as an alien body that took over the Labour Party. And this is where it leads: perversion of peadophilia"

Throwing immigrants under the bus has emboldened the far-right. Well enough is enough. Immigration has been a blessing unto Britain. We should be grateful to the millions of people who have come here and enriched all of our lives. Me on Good Morning Britain

Warning: Seven Rules for Surviving A Kemi Badenoch Victory Today the most prominent member of white supremacy's Black collaborator class (in Britain) is likely to be made leader of the Conservative Party. Here are some handy tips for surviving the immediate surge of Badenochism (i.e. white supremacy in Blackface): 1. Don’t allow yourself to be gaslit. Of course, a victory for Badenoch is an obvious, unprecedented and once inconceivable victory for racism. Yet for legitimacy and national blush-saving purposes, it will be portrayed as anything but. Hence the Black & Brown voices invited to speak about a Badenoch victory in the media will likely be carefully selected. Expect a lot of Sunder Katwala and Trevor Phillips types, but not much from anyone else. Certainly not knowledgeable objectors. 2. Don't feed the trolls: avoid the inevitable avalanche of “whatever your politics” rhetoric. E.g. “Whatever your politics, you must acknowledge how great and progressive the Conservative Party is now that a Blackface of white supremacy has broken the glass ceiling for all Black people…” and “Whatever your politics, Black children finally have a great role model to look up to”. 3. Don’t get arrested Pt. I: As that free speech championing entity known as the British state would say: be careful what you post. The police scour this app for "offensive" material and they take immense glee in weaponising laws designed to protect ethnic minorities against ethnic minorities. 4. Don’t get arrested Pt. II: The police don't do nuance, and they conveniently refuse to understand Black & Brown intra-communal language or forms of critique, satire or compliment (e.g. coconut, Uncle Tom, Aunt Kemi, house negro, choc ice, etc). 5. Don’t get arrested Pt. III: In pursuit of "protecting" the feelings and political positions of ethnic minority politicians (with far-right sensibilities), the police and CPS will do everything conceivably possible to legally and psychologically destroy you. 6. Don’t get arrested Pt. IV: Look up The Emoji Trial and The Coconut Trial for more information on how quickly proprietary Black & Brown intellectual tradition, thought or language can land you in a British police cell. 7. Remember White supremacy’s silver linings: they always discard their tools. Always. Yes, this will be a painful and shameful period. Our various politics and very standing in Britain and as British people will be seriously compromised by a Badenoch victory. Yet rest assured: painful as it may be for Black & Brown people – history teaches us that Badenochism will end even worse for Kemi Badenoch. "Amen" said the church. Good luck!

Part I of my full (and properly contextualised) thoughts on Charlie Kirk from today's @gmb. Charlie Kirk's murder was a despicable crime. Charlie Kirk was indeed "a David Duke for the TikTok age", an unashamed, presentable and politically popular racist. Not a conservative.

Nigeria's Sunday morning news shows were fantastically more open, honest and authoritative about the rise of Kemi Badenoch and the threat it poses than their British equivalents. Incomparably better.

What a liar! I was there when Elon Musk's dad was robustly conquered at the Oxford Union by Dr Umar & VT. I was even invited to debate alongside him. I declined. Reality is: Musk Snr isn't a competent speaker. So he blames Black childen for his lack of prowess.
