Allegations are flying in BC this week as the good guys (in this case, the BC Liberals) have allegedly been hit with a racist jab from the NDP (the bad guys). It’s really quite amazing, because both politicians are men of a color other than plain old white. OOPS!
And yet the lefties—like the CBC—tell us over and over that the more left-wing you are, the more “tolerant” (etc., ad infinitum, ad nauseam) you are. I assume the lefties and the CBC and other liberal media will be issuing a correction this week. What’s that? Don’t hold my breath? Alrighty.
Pamphlets target Liberal hopeful Igali
VANCOUVER—In B.C.‘s Surrey-Newton riding, where more than half the residents are visible minorities including both leading candidates, the issue of race has vaulted to the top of the agenda in the waning days of the campaign.
The discovery on the weekend of racist pamphlets apparently aimed at Liberal candidate Daniel Igali, an Olympic gold medalist, has touched off a wave of heated accusations between Mr. Igali and his New Democratic opponent Harry Bains.
The leaflets, which popped up on Saturday, have the words “don’t vote ugly black” over Mr. Igali’s picture and “vote pretty brown” under Mr. Bains’s, who is Indo-Canadian.
Mr. Igali, who came to Canada from Nigeria in 1996, spent Saturday condemning the leaflets and hoped to put the issue to rest.
“I just dismissed them and told everyone to discard them and told them it was the work of somebody with a sick mind,” Mr. Igali said.
“I just pray to God that He forgives anyone who still has that kind of mindset in the 21st century. Especially in the kind of riding we live in, where it’s a multicultural riding with a lot of visible minorities—and a lot of the candidates running are visible minorities too.”
He also hoped his NDP rival would condemn the pamphlets and publicly distance the party from the offensive material.
