The UK Independence Party (UKIP) is almost on the verge of toppling a two-party (sometimes three-party) monopoly in British politics which goes back to the 19thcentury.
UKIP - which was formed as long ago as 1993 - calls from a withdrawal from the European Union (EU) and a halt to all political and social experiments in mass immigration.
Predictably Leftists have been calling UKIP a racist party. Thats not a surprise: such people call virtually all those who dare to disagree with them racist or far right. (Joseph Stalin called almost literally all his opponents and enemies fascist".)
In order to dispel these claims of racism (mainly based on its position on immigration) UKIP held a rally (or public meeting) in London (on the 7thof May) to prove to the race-obsessed Left that it isnt racist.
Apparently there were many non-white faces both in the audience and on the stage. Nonetheless as we all know all that wont change a thing: Leftists will simply rationalise the event as say a gimmick". Theyll also class all the non-white members and leaders of UKIP as Uncle Toms". Thats partly because many Leftists are themselves racist in that they demand that all members of the ethnic minorities" (the term used in the UK) adhere to the set patterns of behaviour and belief which have been laid down for them by well white middle-class Leftists. Its also primarily because its not UKIPs putative racism that these Leftists are really against its UKIP itself.
UKIP lined up various people from the ethnic minorities: such as Amjad Bashir Winston Mckenzie (the former boxer) Suzanne Evans and Sarinder Joshua Duroch.
To be honest wasnt this aspect of the rally a little bit distasteful? Shouldnt blacks and other minorities in UKIP simply do their job? Should they be paraded around on stage as if they were curious circus acts? Despite saying that perhaps such an event was required for simple reasons of realpolitik and UKIP strategy.
Perhaps people shouldnt be too happy with the fact that Winston McKenzie - the former boxer - shouted out Im black and Im proud either. I suppose that you can argue that after years of genuine racial prejudice (not the kinds manufactured by anti-racist fanatics) its only natural and right that blacks should say such things. Nevertheless it can now be argued that after three decades (or so) of living under the anti-white prejudice and bigotry (at least against the non-Leftist working class) of our Leftist hegemony" that its now perfectly acceptable for whites to also say Im white and Im proud!". And then what have you got? Youve got race-based politics which is precisely what the Left (as well as Nazis) wants and what it has helped bring about.
In other words UKIP must realise that if its against racism then it must also be against statements like Im proud to be black". Or perhaps Im being too purist here. But think about it. What if I shouted out Im white and Im proud!" at the same event? Now Im almost certain that that statement would have gone down like the proverbial led balloon.
Theres also a problem with what one writer said about the UKIP rally. Raheem Kassam writing in Breitbart said that the audience it must be reported was still predominantly white". Yes? And? Mr Kassam thats simply because England is still a predominately white nation. That is unless Raheem Kassam believes in quotas or positive discrimination. Now if thats the case positive discrimination or quotas is not only racist in itself (even if positive) it actually encourages (negative) racism. More accurately it has made many of the people who havent been the beneficiaries of such quotas or positive discrimination (i.e. white people) get very angry. And that my friend contributes to racism. Positive racism in other words encourages negative racism (as has been shown many times before).
I mentioned the Leftists use of the phrase Uncle Tom" earlier. At this same event Leftist protestors came pretty close to using that precise term. Take the case of the mixed-race UKIP leader StevenWolfe who attended the rally. He was heckled by protesters (who were mainly from the overwhelming white and middle-class Socialist Workers Party). They classed him as fake" and racist".... Yes thats right: white middle-class Leftists classed a man of mixed race as fake" and racist". He responded by saying that he himself was called a n***er at the age of 5 years old.
What Steven Wolfe must realise is that such Leftists want their blacks to be radical" or members of the Nation of Islam or rappers R n B musicians or even criminals. When theyre not (say when theyre conservatives patriots or businessmen) then according to racist Leftist logic they simply must be Uncle Toms or fake". Such is the racial essentialism of many Leftists (particularly Trotskyists and progressives").
There was also a woman of both Jewish and black heritage Paula McQueen at the UKIP rally. She had this to say to the audience:
We are libertarians we believe in individual freedom and we want the government to interfere less in peoples lives".
Well if she believes all that then she simply must be a an Uncle Tom (or an Auntie Tracy). Firstly shes not a eternal victim of capitalist oppression" whos therefore willing to be patronised by white middle-class Leftists. Secondly shes not a radical" either. Thus according to Leftist logic she must be either be fake" or an Uncle Tom.
Nigel Farage (the leader of UKIP) also had this to say at the rally:
I dont care what you call us. You can call us right wing left wing you can call us small-minded I dont care what you call us. But from this moment on please do not ever call us a racist party. We are not a racist party.
Many Leftist cretins however will continue to class UKIPs blacks Sikhs Hindus Jews etc. as Uncle Toms.
But this isnt just a UKIP phenomenon.
Take the case of the Leftist academics and bloggers (such as Islamophobia Watch) whove called Ayaan Hirsi Ali an Uncle Tom for opposing female genital mutilation gender apartheid honour killings" and whatnot. And more recently Richard Silverstein called a black supporter of Israel a negro" and he even questioned her ability - as a black woman - to write an article about Israel and anti-Zionism. (These are some of Silversteins words for Leftist justice: They finally did it: found a negro Zionist: Uncle Tom is dancing for Joy!")
And whenever a Muslim moderate speaks out (the few that do) Trotskyist websites such as Islamophobia Watch class them as Uncle Toms (even if they dont always use that exact term). You see such Leftists want their Muslims to be radical (or Islamist) too; just as they do their blacks. Such Muslim and black radicals are useful to the white middle-class Leftist cause. So if Muslims and blacks arent radical or Islamist Leftists class them as Uncle Toms.
As for the Lefts championship of immigration. Predictably (as mentioned earlier) there were many SWP Hope Not Hate and other extreme Leftists protesting outside this UKIP event. They were screaming out such soundbites as UKIP No Way! Immigrants here to stay! and probably throwing stuff too.
Leftists (or at least Trotskyists communists and many progressives") know full well that such mass immigration will help them destabilize the capitalist system" (as they call it). Through such destabilization people will become radicalized" (they predict) into adopting revolutionary socialism as offered to them by say the SWP. In other words the riots and communal conflict which have already occurred in the UK and which will occur on a larger scale in the future are but a means to bring about the revolution which these Leftists so desire. Or as the phrase goes for a Leftist (as well as for a Nazi): The worse things are the better they are."
