Assuming the organizers and councillors do use Google, do they support Khogali’s statement that white people are a genetic defect?

Do they support her musing that black people could use their genetic superiority to wipe out white people if, “we had the power to?’

This Young Woman in Leadership has said, “White ppl are recessive genetic defects. This is factual.”

BLMTO members not only refuse to condemn Khogali’s racist remarks, they support her. What does that tell us about them?

It is like 1950’s Alabama, only in reverse.

Some who support Khogali do so by claiming her argument that black skin is superior to white is scientifically factual.

I am not a scientist, but I can tell she isn’t trying to have a scientific discussion.

She is eerily reminiscent of those who believe in eugenics.

How would she and her supporters react to people claiming there is scientific proof that blacks are genetically pre-disposed to an average 15% lower IQ than whites? (And yes, there are those who make that racist argument.)

Fortunately those beliefs are not taken seriously, nor are their proponents celebrated at any city hall.

According to Metro News, speaking of Khogali and another recipient, Talisha Ramsaroop, Mayor Tory said he hoped both would run for public office and follow in McConnell’s footsteps by “advancing the interests in women in Toronto.”

Ramsaroop seems a worthy recipient of the award. Congratulations to her, and good for her for the work she does.
