BLM leader calls whites "subhumans"

[Hirota]

It's a tricky one.

On one hand, the leaders of any movement have more influence than it's rank and file, and therefore the opinions of a leader can easily (and probably unfairly) be taken as representative of the whole. I doubt most BLM advocates endorse such a view, but I'm a member of a group with much near non-existent leadership who regularly gets smeared as a broad demographic responsible for all the evil in the world, so I can relate to how the actions of one member can be twisted and exaggerated to reflect the whole by the press and whoever is opposed to that group.

On the other hand, it is down to BLM as a whole to decide if they want to allow racist hate-filled rhetoric to be repeated by this individual. If they did then it can easily be taken to be implicit endorsement of her views. Since this is the second time she has been in hot water for this kind of racism, it makes sense that many people believe BLM is as bad as the monsters it claims to fight. It's difficult to say they are wrong and dismiss their claims outright.

It's down to BLM to police their own and decide if they want this kind of shit to stick, or to be washed off.

Hoo boy.

A Black Lives Matter leader has come under fire after arguing on social media that white people are “sub-human” and suffer from “recessive genetic defects,” and musing about how the race could be wiped out.

In a Facebook post, Black Lives Matter Toronto co-founder Yusra Khogali went on a rant, arguing that black people are the superior race because white people posses “genetic defects” that make them lesser humans, according to the Toronto Sun.

She continued explaining her theory, claiming white people are lesser because “[they] have a higher concentration of enzyme inhibitors that suppress melanin production. They are genetically deficient because melanin is present at the inception of life.”

“Melanin enables black skin to capture light and hold it in its memory mode which reveals that blackness converts light into knowledge. Melanin directly communicates with cosmic energy,” she added.

Khogali then proclaimed: “White ppl are recessive genetic defects. This is factual.”

The Black Lives Matter leader then wondered how the white race could be wiped out. According to her, “Black ppl simply through their dominant genes can literally wipe out the white race if we had the power to.”

“Do you ever wonder how black ppl after centuries of colonial violence, genocide and destruction—no matter what systems created to make us extinct… How we keep coming back? It is because we are superhumxns,” she added.

OPINION
This is racism. The MSM will refuse to cover this, because it doesn't fit their narrative, but minorities can be racist too.

Why are celebrities like Beyonce still glorifying this hate group?

This is why the alt-right is growing. Because the left holds a ridiculous double standard and refuses to call out racism when it's on their side.

Thoughts?

Well - my first thought is that neither article, nor the original post, mentions that these comments were apparently written in 2015 (October apparent). I am not saying that makes them any better, but it does make me wonder WHY they are being brought up now, as if it just happened, with no context, no date, no mention of date.

Almost as if someone wants to make it look like this is happening in real time - as if it is a reaction to events in the USA now, as opposed to something that happened nearly eighteen months ago. As if someone wants to cause shock and outrage and hatred towards this woman NOW as opposed to wondering why she wrote it eighteen months ago, and finding out if - in the past year and a half - she has changed her point of view.

And my second thought is - how many others in BLM share this view? How many others are utterly appalled by it? Why is it AUTOMATICALLY assumed that members of Black Lives Matter must follow every thought their leader has?

When a radical Muslim blows himself up, the entire right-wing condemns Islam. Yet when a radical Christian blows himself up, the entire right says "It was one guy acting alone". Now that there is a post from eighteen months ago suggesting the co-founder of BLM has some offensive views, the right is going to tar and feather the whole of BLM with the same views?

Isn't there a word for judging an entire group of people by the same standards just because they have one thing in common? (I know the word is on the tip of my tongue...... can't quite remember it right now......).

These views are offensive. But the post is eighteen months old (and there is no mention made of it in either news story or the original post, which is very curious and more than a little questionable) and it is a post from one person in a huge organisation. I think - at the very least - we should ask more questions before jumping on the "THIS IS RACISM AND BLM IS A HATE GROUP" bandwagon that people seem eager to leap on to.

The BLM has always been a terrorist organization akin to the KKK. This ain't something new.

[Magical Cynicism]

Which BLM are we talking about here? The one that says "Kill all cops!" or the ones that demand police accountability?

The co-founder of BLM claimed this, I think it's pretty obvious what that means.

Another example that ideal =/= practical application.

Cynicism 1 idealism 0

I for one find remarks like this from someone in a position of authority within that poisonous little group a good thing. Statements like that discredit BLM as whole, detract moderate members from it, and will hopefully serve to relegate it to the fringe of extremists where it belongs, to be tolerated by the authorities while they are merely a nuisance, and cracked down on brutally if they become anything more than that.

In truth, I wouldn't be surprised if the person who made this statement is actually a stooge for the authorities, infiltrated there to discredit and divide the movement with comments like that, radicalize the hardcore members and provide a lawful excuse to dismantle the group by force. It's been done in the past with commie and white supremacist groups.

They are one and the same.

Also can we please, oh please, oh please stop this nonsense that "blacks cant be racists" or "white people in america cant experience racism" and stop breaking racism down into sub-groups to make it fit people's specific narratives.

The co-founder of the Toronto chapter of BLM, for the record, which isn't the same as being a co-founder of BLM as a whole.

Well then I guess all Trump supporters are hardcore white nationalists then. If we're judging massive groups by their vocal minorities.

"It is because we are superhumxns,”

BLMs ideas are intriguing to me and I wish to subscribe to their Beobachter

As usual you don't know what you're talking about...this is quite tiresome really.

Both groups referenced, the ones saying "kill all cops", and the ones saying "we just want accountability" are part of BLM a whole...one sub-group may have warped/radical views, but they're still part of the same group as those who dont have the warped/radical views falling under the BLM umbrella.

Just like some trump supporters are in fact white nationalists, some are not, they are both trump supporters however.
Or some women who call themselves feminists want equality, some women who call themselves feminists think women should be superior to men, they dont agree but they're still both feminists.

That's an okay analogy, but keep in mind that while BLM is a popular movement, Trump supporters are a broad, completely unorganized demographic. So I think it'd be easier for BLM's creators to make their racist splinters piss off.

BLM being racist? Whoa, how unexpected!

Those opinions aren't this person's own, they're Nation of Islam doctrine. BLM is not likely going to purge the Nation of Islam.

I saw she'd reportedly asked for strength from Allah to resist killing men and whites. I kind of worry about anyone who needs religion to prevent them turning into some sort of genocidal maniac.

Add to that her apparent qualifications (depending on if you think Womyns studies is a real thing), and you've just got a perfect storm condensed into one really, really crazy person.

[Esternial]

Don't see anyone holding the moral high ground here, considering this entire narrative seems to be based on ignoring leftists that do call out racism on the left and the right.

Pot. Kettle. Black/White (I don't discriminate).

[Galloism]

Manslaughter is a bad thimg, but I think you would find it suspicious if when a black man was killed in cold blood I called it manslaughter but only whites could be truly murdered.

Granted but the analogy falls apart since the distinction isn't about viewing one practically the same action more lightly than the other.
I guess one can say that racially motivated murder isn't in itself racist no matter who did it to whom. Racism only actually comes in when it's supported by the state.
I'm not Sciongrad though so maybe they agree with this or they think something else entirely.

The analogy does not fall apart - because it IS about viewing one practically the same action more lightly than the other based on the identity of the victim. To use a very specific (and true) example, England has both sexual assault in the first degree and rape statutes. They have the same maximum penalty. Only women can be raped, and rape is viewed, by society at large, as more "heinous" than sexual assault, and whether or not a person is raped is based on the gender of the victim.

This is wrong. It's also wrong when people do it with racism "Oh, that isn't REALLY racism. It's a form of bigotry sure, but it's not racism."

It's meant to, and does, diminish the wrongness of the act into a less wrong act in the minds of the recipient.

Words are symbols. Symbols have meanings. The reason they've reinvented the definition of racism is to try and make sure that their symbols diminish the wrongness of acts committed against certain people.

[Stormwrath]

I think I need a swig after reading this. This just makes me want to cringe into a black hole.

Which is not racist, no. Not at all!

[Jello Biafra]

Obvious troll is obvious.

[Nimzonia]

Sounds like a few idiots in Toronto getting a disproportionate amount of attention, in the hopes of tarring the majority of normal protesters with the same brush.

The left wing liberals are losing because the sleeping giant of the true people of America has awoken, and realized the corruption and irony in the left wing liberals and their ideas.

What does this have to do with the co-founder of the Toronto BLM? I never knew the sleeping giant of America was about to invade.

Apparently Gorillas were white people who tried to become black again. Neat.

Could you show me where you found that lmao

Because majority of the left wing liberals like CNN defend BLM and say black people can't be racist.
