Malcolm X's White Liberals & LBC's "White Saviour" James O'Brien
A Radical Reaction
Malcolm X's White Liberals & LBC's "White Saviour" James O'Brien
Radical Reaction - a members-only update
1) El-Hajj Malik el-Shabbaz
El-Hajj Malik el-Shabbaz - formerly known as Malcolm X - was a man who knew too much. That is probably what got him killed and his real killers protected.
The Guardian reports on 18th November 2021:
Here is a speech he gave about “White Liberals” that we have found relevant to our musings today. Sound on.
Yes, the language used in the above speech by Malcom X might be slightly dated. But it is nowhere near as dated as Churchill’s language here.
“Churchill is often the subject of false or exaggerated allegations. But in truth, he said enough horrifying things that there is no need to invent more. He said that he hated people with "slit eyes and pig tails." To him, people from India were "the beastliest people in the world next to the Germans." He admitted that he "did not really think that black people were as capable or as efficient as white people."
So as with Churchill, there is still much to be learned from Malcolm X.
His substantive point here about the nature of “White Liberals” is one worth pondering in today’s volatile political climate.
2) The “White Liberal” President
On the topic of “White Liberals”, here’s President Biden infamously telling African-Americans that if they don’t vote for him they “ain’t black”.
It is this attitude of political ‘ownership’ and the blind hypocrisy it leads to that Malcom X was seeking to highlight.
Here is the very same “White Liberal” president’s motorcade arriving in London yesterday for the Queen’s funeral. Press play.
Again, how can a “White Liberal” president not be environmentally friendly? Everything they do is green by definition. They are, after all, “White Liberals.”
Only conservatives hate the planet, obviously. So if you don’t vote for the “White Liberal,” you “ain’t green” and you “ain’t black.”
3) The “White Liberal” Prime Minister
On that note here is “White Liberal” Prime Minister Trudeau accusing Canadian truckers - who participated in the Freedom Convoy opposing Covid mandates - of racism.
And here is that very same Trudeau apologising while admitting that he cannot remember how many times he dressed up in black face.
The Guardian reports on 19th September 2019:
That’s okay though. Obviously. Because, of course, a “White Liberal” cannot be racist.
4) The “White Liberal Saviour”
With this scene-setting provided, and the nature of a particular type of duplicitous “White Liberal” demonstrated, we shall move on from the “White Liberal” president and ”White Liberal” prime minister, to someone just as important: the “White Liberal Saviour”.
Global’s LBC is my former employer. Earlier this year they cancelled me over my views opposing all Covid mandates. James O’Brien is probably LBC’s most popular talk radio host. He is paid handsomely to offer his opinions to over a million Britons every single morning. In other words, giving his opinions to the masses is not only what he does, but over a million people take him seriously for it.
For this reason, it should be met with a level of concern when this “White Liberal Saviour” makes a defamatory accusation of violence against a Muslim man who is regularly and falsely accused of terrorism and violence, and has recently been hounded out of that very place of employment, resulting in a diminished platform with which to be able to defend himself.
For context, here’s a past example involving Thompson Reuters World Check Database where such accusations against me have had to be settled for damages.
“Leading West End law firm Seddons has won a significant libel battle against multinational media and information company Thomson Reuters. Seddons Partner Mark Lewis was instructed by Maajid Nawaz, Founder of Quilliam, following his wrongful inclusion in the “terrorism” category on Thomson Reuters World-Check.”
And here’s another one involving left-wing activist Aron Bastani:
And since Mr O’Brien - the “White Liberal Saviour” - makes it regularly and abundantly clear that he believes those who stereotype minorities with defamatory claims are racists, we are left with no choice but to judge him by his own standards.
5) The “White Liberal” Outburst
So how exactly did LBC’s James O’Brien defame this Muslim author? And what did he say? Do read on…
