The BBC has cataloged statements that painfully show that the new British foreign minister, Boris John is a racist. It is amazing that a person like that is considered honorable enough to be the foreign minister of Britain. With Boris Johnson and Donald Trump, racism is becoming fashionable again.
Below are some of the statements the BBC attributes to Boris Johnson:
"They say he is shortly off to the Congo. No doubt the AK47s will fall silent, and the pangas will stop their hacking of human flesh, and the tribal warriors will all break out in watermelon smiles to see the big white chief touch down in his big white British taxpayer-funded bird."
Mr Johnson apologised for the comments in 2008, during his successful campaign to be mayor of London.
But it's not the only time he has used the term "piccaninnies", a derogatory word for black children.
On the effects of colonialism in Uganda (in 2002): "If left to their own devices, the natives would rely on nothing but the instant carbohydrate gratification of the plantain."

Boris on Africa
On Tony Blair visiting Africa, in 2002: "What a relief it must be for Blair to get out of England. It is said that the Queen has come to love the Commonwealth, partly because it supplies her with regular cheering crowds of flag-waving piccaninnies..."They say he is shortly off to the Congo. No doubt the AK47s will fall silent, and the pangas will stop their hacking of human flesh, and the tribal warriors will all break out in watermelon smiles to see the big white chief touch down in his big white British taxpayer-funded bird."
