Now that Boris Johnson is officially the PM-designate, Johnson ‘s own shady history about racism and Africa is back in the spotlight. Several outlets republished bits from Johnson ‘s past overnight, some, which paint him as a racist towards blacks from Africa.
Johnson first made his comments about racism in a 2002 Daily Telegraph article, something, he would later go on to apologise for during the 2008 mayoral elections. However, this wasn’t the first and only time he had ever expressed distaste for brown people.
In case it couldn’t get any worse.
The following quote appears to have come from a 2002 Spectator article, whereas, uh, this one is pretty self explanatory. According to the article, he was describing African people particularly young African people. Johnson has not publicly addressed the racism since being pushed into premiership by the ruling Conservative party.
Later today, Johnson is sett to walk through the doors of 10 Downing Street for the first time as Prime Minister. We’ll have more on this as it happens.
