Nick Buckley is a former policeman with very anti-woke views. He’s a staunch critic of multiculturalism, and believes in stop and search as an effective method of stopping knife crime among ethnic minority communities. But he states that it has to be used with those communities’ consent. He’s been a guest talking about this tactic on the Lotus Eaters YouTube channel. In this video he and his interlocutor, whose name isn’t given, talk about the various White victims of racist murders. These include Kriss Donald, who was murdered in Glasgow by a Pakistani gang who were simply looking for a White person to torture and kill. Other victims include a lad called Everett, whose mother was forced to move from the area because of the harassment she was getting from the local Asian population. Another victims is a White girl killed by one of the Pakistani grooming gangs. The list begins with a case where one of the perps in the gang that killed him has been captured, but the others have eluded the law and the case is now closed.
The two discuss these cases because the victims of anti-White racist murders are unknown, or virtually unknown, compared with very well-known Black murder victims like Stephen Lawrence, Victoria Climbie, who was murdered by her aunt and her lover, and Demilola Taylor, a seven year old kid who was murdered by a gang in inner city London, and left to bleed to death in the stairwell of the block of flats that contained his home. Buckley and guest make the point that the Black victims are remembered and the Whites forgotten because the Whites don’t fit the narrative of victimhood. Only brown people can be victims. In the case of the Asian gangs murdering Whites – and they make the point that the murderers on the list are nearly all Asian, with very few Blacks, there is the presumption that White British society is so evil that somehow it led these young men to murder. I haven’t seen this attitude explicitly presented in reports of racial murder in Britain, but it certainly has appeared in America. It was in the case of a young Black man who murdered a White person. When the media reported it, they presented the perp as the victim of White societal oppression, which caused him to kill his victim. It’s discussed by Black American Conservative Shelby Steele in the section of one of his books covering Black racist attacks on Whites in America. But I have encountered the attitude with the very anti-racist types over here that if a White person is bullied by Blacks, it must be due to something the White child did to them first. Buckley considers that this is all due to two-tier policing, and that assaults on Blacks, Asians and women will get attention, but not assaults of White men, who are automatically villains. If an Asian or Muslim had been abused and murdered like these Whites, then they would certainly be presented as the new Stephen Lawrence. But the fact that none of them have shows that there are no White gangs looking to murder Asians.
Nearly all the victims of this racist violence were murdered by gangs. These were organised attacks, not made on the spur of the moment. They were young men defending what they saw as their territory against Whites. Whites are also patrolling their territory in packs, looking to attack racial outsiders, but Buckley argues that there’s a difference in the level of violence here between Black,, Asians and Whites. Whites rarely go so far as to kill their victims because centuries of hanging murder victims has bred the killer genes out of us to a certain extent. This is an argument Edward Dutton, the jolly heretic has made. He’s also cited the case of the Italian aristocracy in the 16th and 17th century. In the 16th century they were lawless and violent killing each other in feuds. By the 17th century they had calmed down and were much more peaceful, because, according to Dutton, the genes that inclined them to violence and murder had been removed from them as a population through the murders they had committed on each other. Theodore Beale, an American Libertarian who blogs under the name ‘Vox Day’ presented a similar argument nearly two decades ago to explain the difference between the levels of violence in Black and White communities. He believed it was much lower in Whites because Whites had centuries of civilisation behind them, which Blacks didn’t, and so were more evolved. Yes, there’s a whole slew of racist assumptions there about the difference between African and European civilisations and the level of violence historically in each. But it was also subject to criticism from people who knew rather more about evolution who pointed out that it didn’t work that quickly.
Going on to specific cases, Stephen Lawrence is very well-known because of the long struggle of the boy’s parents to get justice for their son. There was also a wider political motive, in that the police were extremely negligent and there were corrupt connections between some of the investigating officers and the families of the perps. It also became something of a cause celebre as it epitomised the racism within the Metropolitan police and the resentment this had understandably provoked amongst the Black community. Brian Burden, one of the commenters to this blog, also pointed out that the Met police had tried to smear Lawrence as a drug dealer.
However, Private Eye also published an article stating that the Met showed the same criminal lack of interest in investigating the racist murders of Whites and Asians. A couple of weeks before Lawrence’s murder, an Asian and a White guy had been murdered in separate racist incidents. But these cases were also not properly investigated. This isn’t mentioned by Buckley, but he and the other chap do mention the death of a White man, who died in a similar case to George Floyd, but who is unknown and whose death provoked no outrage or protests.
The pair are also correct when the put the reluctance to publicise cases of anti-White violence and murder down to an attitude among anti-racists that doing so would incite racism against these minorities. This was why female Labour councillor for East Glasgow on the local council was attacked as a racist and thrown off the authority because she dared to ask a question about the rise in the bully of White pupils at the local schools. And I also came across it in the pages of the magazine of the Black and Asian Studies Association when they talked about the murder of Demilola Taylor. At the time, the ethnic identity of the gang that killed the boy was unknown. I think it was later revealed that the gang was racially mixed. But the editor of the magazine jumped to the conclusion that the murders were all Black, and that was why the killing was being reported. Hence she was very much against the reporting of the murder, and demanded to know why the news organisations weren’t reporting all the Blacks murdered by White gangs instead. This attitude revolted me. I couldn’t care less what colour the murderers were. What was appalling was that a young child had died in pain and fear, murdered by a gang of children.
There was a time right at the beginning of this century when Whites formed the majority of victims of racist murders, or nearly so. This was reported in the Independent, and discussed by Yasmin Alibhai-Brown before she went back to ranting about White racism. But interest in anti-White racism and racially motivated violence has declined since. I have no doubt that it is due to the reasons Buckley and his guest say.
The video concludes with the guest wishing that the names of these victims were better known, and hopes that they will if Buckley gets some power. That’s quite an assumption. It might happen under a Reform administration, assuming that if – God help us! – Farage and/or Tice got in, they didn’t immediately dump all the issues they’d been campaigning about. Ditto for a hard right Tory administration under someone like Badenoch. But it wouldn’t happen under Labour. At the moment I think the Labour party’s entrenched attitudes towards racism are that it’s only a White problem, and anti-White and interethnic racism must on no account be discussed. See Diane Abbott’s repeated pronouncements on this.
I’m convinced that the entire anti-racist movement needs a thorough, radical overhaul and must include anti-White and interethnic racism if it is to be a proper movement against racism which reflects the reality of 21st century Britain. This would mean hurling accusations of racism at organisation like Stand Up to Racism and United Against Fascism. I think this would need a mass movement of both Blacks, Asians and Whites to make it very clear that this was anti-racism, not White racism hiding under a cause. And I think at the moment this would be very difficult.
