Sadiq Khan issues grovelling apology after video shows him using 'Uncle Toms' slur against moderate Muslims

Labour's candidate for London Mayor has issued a grovelling apology after it emerged that he had described moderate Muslim groups as 'Uncle Toms'. Sadiq Khan said he regretted using the term, which is notorious racial slur used against black people to suggest that they are subservient to whites. But he also insisted he would 'respect' everyone in the capital if he was elected, and lashed out at tactics employed by Tory rival Zac Goldsmith during the battle.

The incendiary claim surfaced in an interview with Iranian-backed Press TV from 2009, when Mr Khan was 'minister for community cohesion', in charge of Government efforts to stamp out extremism. The revelation is a major blow for Mr Khan, who has faced a string of claims about his past dealings with Muslim extremists during the bitter campaign to succeed Boris Johnson.

Khan was elected over a year ago. Why are you posting ancient news?

I am glad the truth comes out about this nasty fucker.

I can't believe people still voted for him after this, shocking.

He’s such a dirtbag.

Brits are true idiots these days.

Sorry, didn't know this story was old.

Still find it absolutely shocking that he won though.

So you didn't know that "Labour's candidate for London Mayor" has actually been London's mayor for over a year. In other words, you either don't bother to read the stuff you post, or you don't know (or care) anything about the place you're posting about. What a useful thread.

by Anonymousreply 9October 7, 2017 9:38 PM

I know he is mayor and I know about the 'part and parcel' story and when he called bikini clad girls ads on the tube 'body shaming'.

But I never heard about this story.

When is the next election? Does this dirt bag still have a chance winning?

Sadiq, like other elected Muslim officials in Western democracies, is a 5th column operative.

What surprises me is that the term, "Uncle Tom," derived from Harriet Beecher Stowe's pre-U.S. Civil War anti-slavery opus, "Uncle Tom's Cabin," is familiar to Brits.

I think both Khan and Corbyn are deplorable bigots and lunatics, but I don't understand the point of bumping a 3-month old thread.

by Anonymousreply 17January 18, 2018 11:17 AM

Sadiq Khan is a CAREERIST. He has no principles.

He came to power only off of the backs of Jeremy Corbyn supporters who campaigned for him. When Khan was safely in power he publicly denounced Corbyn. That's the kind of back stabbing traitor he is.

He voted in favour of gay marriage, so that's something I suppose. But I don't like him.

He’s the mayor of Londonistan.

by Anonymousreply 21January 18, 2018 11:45 AM

He has been very vocal about Trump’s ban on some Muslim countries. However in the incredibly hypocritical way of him, he invited ambassadors from 11 Muslim countries, 5 of whom refuse to allow a Jew into their country ever. Of course that is swept aside in the political correctness climate we are in .

He also went to Pakistan to meet the President there while refusing to meet the bigoted American President . Even though Pakistan specifically excludes certain minorities from political life. But again nothing.

London itself is not the sea of tolerance it pretends to be. When a recent poll was conducted about homophobic attitudes, it was found the working class North had the extreme feelings against Gays at 12 % but London had those feelings at 29 % .

R22 how many of those polled were actually British? That is a big factor in homophobia. If your country of origin is deeply homophobic then most people don’t lose those views as soon as they move to London.

Has it ever occurred to you that people are individuals and not just groups that behave a certain way.?

Islam is different, because like Christianity it is. A Religion and therefore there are certain things that are prescribed..

Essentially you are being as rascist as the people you say are rascist. You are defining a person by their skin colour and saying because of that they need to support a party.

Why the fuck should they?

by Anonymousreply 32January 19, 2018 3:49 AM

I'm not doing shit. I am black, and 90% of us feel this way and vote democratic. People like you like to call us brainwashed and stupid. But we just know racists when we see them

by Anonymousreply 33January 19, 2018 11:19 AM

No r33. I did not call you stupid or brainwashed. Please don’t assign things to me I did not say. What I said the colour of your skin should not determine who you vote for. You are not subscribed by your skin colour to vote a certain way.

I am not subscribed as a Gay man to vote a certain way either. I might feel compelled too, but as an individual, like you I have a right to vote for what I believe.

I do not believe that a Gay person or a Black Person must vote Democrat and if they don’t , they are a traitor. We are not living under Communism. I do not have to vote for the Party because the Group says I must.

by Anonymousreply 34January 19, 2018 12:00 PM

R34 The color of our skin determines who we vote for because skin color is a major driving force of republican policy making. And beyond even consequential policy making is the simple matter of respect, republicans love denigrating minorities to whip up their base but think minorities should consider their policies in good faith anyway. That's not a coherent world view in my opinion. When policy and rhetoric is color blind, voting will soon follow.
