Everyone, in politics and in the media, falls on Haroun Bouazzi’s tomato for his comments on racism.
Everyone? No!
The irreducible rapper and anti-racist activist Ali Ndiaye, alias Webster, still resists. Not only does he support Bouazzi’s comments, but he asserts that - behaved like a “trash radio station” by interviewing the MP.
Um how to say? We don’t have the same definition of what “trash radio” is.
Lots of words in -phobe
You probably know the rapper Webster, because he is always there when the media is looking for someone to denounce the “systemic racism” of Quebec society. And God knows that Quebec society loves to hand a microphone to a “racialized person” who denounces the racism of Quebec society. Which clearly proves how racist Quebec society is!
In short, Webster is less and less a rapper and more and more an anti-racist activist who denounces white supremacism at every opportunity. You can imagine that there was going to be no ice left when Haroun Bouazzi went to defend his business in front of an audience who applauded him wildly!
What a babe!
On his Facebook page, Webster affirmed his “solidarity with our brother Haroun Bouazzi, deputy of Maurice Richard, who, at this very moment, is receiving a torrent of hatred and contempt for having told the truth.”
Yes friends! When Bouazzi claims that the National Assembly is racist, he is “telling the truth”.
Webster also attacks François Legault and his government who, according to him, “maintain a deleterious atmosphere in Quebec with their racist, xenophobic and Islamophobic discourse” and “hatred of immigrants”.
Webster continues: “Shame on Patrick Masbourian for conducting his interview like a trash radio station, far from - standards.”
When Patrick Masbourian, Friday morning, at Here Firstpressed Bouazzi, asking him to explain his contradictions, I on the contrary found that he was doing his job perfectly: rigorous and uncompromising journalism, as one expects on public radio, financed by taxpayers.
Confronting a guest, not letting him go, while giving him the opportunity to explain himself, would that be “trash radio”?
Bouazzi takes us for idiots!
Let’s return to this famous interview between Bouazzi and Patrick Masbourian. Mr. Bouazzi returned on numerous occasions to the fact that the word “racism” and accusations of “racism” did not interest him.
That’s really weird.
Here is word for word what Mr. Bouazzi said in the introduction to his incendiary statement to the Club Avenir Foundation:
“I’m going to talk to you about one of the reasons why I got into politics: I’m going to talk to you about racism. And the importance of what is happening today in the fight against racism. The racism… there is no obviously human race, there is a race which is constructed by society, which creates a category to which we assign a culture which by definition is dangerous, which is inferior. It is very important what you do to break the construction of these mechanisms of the racism.” Four times the word racism before his incendiary statement!
For someone who is not interested in racism, I find that Mr. Bouazzi seems, on the contrary, to have only that word on his lips.
