To expose Boris Johnson’s racism

[ferntwist]

I’ve never started a thread about politics before and was a floating voter until recently.

This dossier exposes disgusting bigotry - black people, Asian people, women, gay people - by the man we could be about to elect as Prime Minister.

Why isn’t this on the front page of every newspaper today?

AIBU to ask you to share this widely as the mainstream media is not doing its job.

All the more unforgivable that Johnson has written in such racist terms about ‘ghee-fed Asian politicians’ in the pay of ghee-fed Asian businessmen, Sikh’s deafened by their turbans and more.

And look how he treated Marina Wheeler. Multiple infidelities and then left her, moving the next woman into No. 10 at tax payers’ expense before he is even divorced.

The burka article was criticising Denmark for banning the burka. He was defending women’s right to wear one.

I assume that people can’t refer to beer drinking or fish and chip eating white men either.

There is plenty you can take aim at Boris for.

Why focus on this about someone who talks openly about his Turkish heritage and was married to someone with a Sikh mother.

It's not just Muslims it's Travellers too, the racism is unbelievable it's not even covert either.
The Conservatives need to be investigated for their racism.

It's already out there in the open.

I have turned away from Labour because of antisemitism and it is stupidly naive to think I would support a party led by Johnson who is also despicable. It isn't either/or.
I choose neither. And none of the other parties with their woke nonsense.
I'm waiting for a decent choice. I might have a long wait.

I know this is about Islamophobia mainly, but here's another.

If this change in law happens, many will be made homeless and lose their children. Racism, discrimination and ethnic cleansing in one.

How is this a thread about Islamophobia? Keith Vaz is Catholic

In contrast to Jeremy Corbyn who fosters anti semitism and looks up to terrorists and perpetrators of genocide? Shockingly mere racism looks good in this election

@Dabrani Islam isn’t a race. A race is something you have no control over and is not a reflection on you as a person. Islam is a belief system. It’s something you choose to either ascribe to or not, as such it is wholly within your control and a reflection on your beliefs and morality. I’d know. I’m an ex Muslim.

I'm not trying to be inflammatory here but I believe a lot of people are happily confusing anti Semitism with being pro Palestinian. They ARE NOT the same things! Where is the evidence that Corbyn is anti Semitic. However, we do have reams of evidence that Bojo is racist, sexist and homophobic

@ChazsBrilliantAttitude yes because he has Turkish heritage or whatever he can’t be racist. What type of stupid, nonsensical argument is that?

OP I agree with you completely but people who are voting for his party a) have similar views to him and are racists themselves or b) are not necessarily racist but decide to excuse racism because they don’t want to pay higher taxes

I wasn't suggesting that Islam was a race, my link was for gypsy travellers who are a race.
I think the cons are racist, discriminatory to many groups.

strawberries It’s so depressing!

I really don’t think they are making that mistake Thubten
The Israel / Palestine situation is horribly complex and being pro Palestinian can very easily stray into anti Semitism, for example, if you start questioning the existence of the State of Israel.
My DH is North African and one of his biggest questions was about the behaviour of the Government of Egypt. Why didn’t they just open the border? It’s not just Israel keeping the Palestinians locked in.

Try reading my whole post. He married a British Asian. His MIL was Sikh.

There are so many other things you can criticise him for.

There have been so many other posts like this and I seriously can't see the point, unless the OP is a paid Labour bot? What are you hoping to achieve? Are you hoping Tory voters will vote Labour instead? I'm a Tory voter and I loathe and abhor Corbyn and the Labour Party so that's not going to happen. Corbyn is pals with Hamas and Hezbollah so please don't tell me he isn't anti-semetic, McDonnell aims to destroy capitalism and Momentum want to turn the UK into a marxist communist state.

I guess the answer is it's just so all the leftie luvvies can come together and tut and pat each other on their backs and nod and feel better about themselves. Is that it?

@ferntwist

Do you object to the Tory bots too? I haven’t seen you on those threads suggesting they’re pointless.

@ferntwist really sorry, that wasn’t intended for you. Bloody app automatically tagged you for some reason!!

@SilverySurfer

Do you object to the Tory bots too? I haven’t seen you on those threads suggesting they’re pointless.

@ChazsBrilliantAttitude none of those things excuse him for being a racist, it’s the argument of ‘I have black friends so I’m not racist’.

Does someone having a sister mean they can’t be sexist? Are purposely being obtuse or are you genuinely foolish?

People don’t choose to have siblings, they do choose who they marry.

If someone is truly racist why would they choose to marry someone of a different ethnicity?

As I said there are plenty of other things Johnson can be criticised for.

"Where is the evidence that Corbyn is anti Semitic. "
That bloody mural. It was like something drawn by Goebbels. He apparently needed a second look before he realised that other people would see it as anti Semitic. Tip of the bloody iceberg. The shit he has tolerated in his party. And continues to tolerate.

He makes me laugh 😂
