Black Journalist: I Dared Question BLM – And Got The Worst Racist Abuse I’ve Ever Suffered

Fact checked
Black Lives Matter supporters are the real racists, according to a black journalist who questioned the aims of the movement and was punished with a hate-fueled campaign of vile abuse and racism from BLM supporters.

A black journalist who dared to question the aims of Black Lives Matter says she has received the “worst racist abuse” she has ever suffered in her life from white liberals and black supporters of BLM who are furious with her for refusing to fall in line and blindly support the movement and ideology.

Esther Krakue, a conservative political commentator and writer, says she has been targeted by a campaign of abuse, hate, and racism from Black Lives Matter supporters, including racist language as bad as the N-word and racist depictions.

“I was taught to judge individuals on the content of their character, and I will never surrender to race baiters who try to bully me into submission,” says Esther Krakue.

The journalist says she realized Black Lives Matter was hiding a dark secret when she noticed the UK chapter has openly Marxist goals including “dismantling capitalism” and the abolishment of police.

“What on earth does ‘defending black lives’ have to do with dismantling capitalism – a system that has lifted millions of people out of absolute poverty in just this century alone?” says Esther Krakue. “How would the tearing down of wealth creation benefit black lives? I regard myself as a conservative and cannot sign up to the destruction of capitalism. In fact, I find such views abhorrent.”

Esther Krakue writes: Amid the demonstrations and tumult of recent weeks, I have grown increasingly concerned about the methods and the wider far-Left political agenda of the Black Lives Matter movement here in the UK.

I have been horrified to watch this ridiculous campaign of tearing down statues and relics of British heritage escalate. It is a campaign that has yet to make any progress in tangibly helping me as a black person. And in recent weeks I have been increasingly vocal on Twitter about my concerns. But in doing so I have become targeted by a wave of vile online abuse.

Earlier this month I tweeted: ‘Are Brits still allowed to be proud of their culture and heritage or is that racist now?’ I also said I was ‘fairly sick of all the protests’. Last week, I made clear that I do not support BLM, adding: ‘Never have. Never will. I don’t need to put a black square online or tie myself to that organisation to prove that I care about black people.’

Some of the comments on social media I have received following these tweets have been truly shocking. I have been targeted by a campaign of abuse, hate and false information aimed at tarnishing the reputation of a black woman. I wake up every day to horrible messages. Most of this abuse was seemingly coming from black supporters of Black Lives Matter, including a significant amount from African-Americans, although I have also been abused by white liberals. Some of the trolls have circulated a fake image, which they falsely suggest is me. It shows a black woman on her knees posing as the seemingly subservient cartoon dog Scooby-Doo and flanked by four white women. I have had racist language used against me that is as bad as the ‘N’ word.

I have had people tell me they hope I am barren.

What I have received this last week online has given me a glimpse into the darkest part of the human soul – the part that can muster up the most awful hatred. This will not, however, stop me from questioning the motives of this movement.

The slogan of this campaign is indisputable. Of course black lives matter. They matter in the same way that everyone’s life, by virtue of being human, matters. Every individual, of whatever skin colour, should have the right to pursue happiness and live free from prejudice. And where racial discrimination and injustice exists in this country, it should be stamped out.

But a simple glance at the ‘Who We Are’ section on its online fundraising page demonstrates that this organisation is about much more than ‘black lives’. The group’s GoFundMe page explains that it intends to be ‘guided by a commitment to dismantle imperialism, capitalism, white supremacy, patriarchy and the state structures that disproportionately harm black people in Britain and around the world’.

What on earth does ‘defending black lives’ have to do with dismantling capitalism – a system that has lifted millions of people out of absolute poverty in just this century alone? How would the tearing down of wealth creation benefit black lives? I regard myself as a conservative (but not a Tory) and cannot sign up to the destruction of capitalism. In fact, I find such views abhorrent. Does that mean there is no place for me in this anti-racism movement?

There are also growing questions surrounding this organisation’s funding. BLM UK has raised over a million pounds in recent weeks and one can only assume that is a figure that is going to increase following the public show of support from Premier League football teams.

The group, however, appears determined to spend the money on a string of Marxist initiatives, which according to its GoFundMe page, includes ‘developing and delivering training, police monitoring and strategies for the abolition of police’.

But how can you defend black people, or indeed anyone for that matter, if you are endorsing an agenda that seeks to abolish the police? How will soaring crime help black communities? If we abolish the police, what do we replace it with?

The group also says it will organise in ‘the Black radical tradition’ in a bid to secure ‘Black liberation’. But what on earth is the ‘black radical tradition’ and wouldn’t resources be better dedicated to free the Sub-Saharan Africans who are still enslaved in many North African and Middle Eastern regions of the world?

As someone who studied for a degree in Bristol for four years, I was stunned by the virtue signalling that drove protesters to tear down the statue of Edward Colston. Many of those in the mob, I must add, were white individuals who are likely descendants of direct beneficiaries of the slave trade. Oh, the irony!

I would like to know from the, largely anonymous, leaders of the BLM UK campaign whether they are protesting in solidarity with the US movement or because of the actions of our own mainly unarmed police force, whose ‘policing by consent’ model is envied around the world. Are the protesters shouting ‘don’t shoot’ at British police officers aware that the batons our officers routinely carry are incapable of doubling up as a deadly firearm?

The deeply unpleasant experience of being targeted online has shown me how toxic this debate is becoming. Why are people who claim to care for black people so uptight and defensive when someone says there is an agenda that is destructive to black people that is being ushered in on the back of this movement?

We need to wake up and see that people are trying to divide this country and are using minority groups to do it. First it was statues, then it was a potential ban on Swing Low, Sweet Chariot being sung at rugby matches. When will this end? This small faction of Left-wing activists will never stop trying to tear this country apart and shaming every aspect of British heritage. It is incumbent on us all to fight this through education, a fierce defence of free speech, and to call out the hypocrisy of individuals and organisations attempting to weaponise minority groups to their political ends.

My parents taught me the value of hard work, honesty, humility and standing up for the truth. I was taught to judge individuals on the content of their character, and I will never surrender to race baiters who try to bully me into submission. I will never be silent. And neither should you.

  1. England was not nice. Greedy and selfish thieves and mass murdering thugs is more accurate They plundered and butchered their way to power without any conscience or christianity whatsoever. Always the same. Always the opposite Public versus private Jekkyl and Hyde That’s them still right this minute. Totally duplicitous and all about ” image”

    • How true, during and even before WWII they starved to death millions of people, and not just in India, keeping / hijacking their grain supplies for themselves. The arrogance of Governmental forces earned them a bad reputation everywhere they had territories and colonies, and Churchill was no exception in spite of some of his ‘great’ speeches. Entitlement,or victimhood, self-righteous, and elitism are not limited to one ethnicity, religion, or political party, but for some reason seems to run rampit in today’s Marxist left. Though it also seems that Absolute power corrupts absolutely’ is running true everywhere.

  2. What did you expect from the illogical, narcissistic, self-righteous and pathologically hypocritical Left?
