Today, and at the risk of causing further offence, Starkey argues that there is a black propensity to violence in this country.
“It would appear so. Well, if you look at the statistics – indeed! If you look at mugging, shootings and stabbings. The figures I’m afraid are unchallengeable,” he says. One of the reasons, he maintains, is cultural. “You have an endorsement of types of violence. You have particular sorts of family breakdown.”
Instead of the Martin Luther King approach – “he advocated that the way to black equality was through pride and peace” – America, he says, “went very quickly into the direction of the very different sorts of leader who effectively espoused the opposite of that. They espoused victimhood and violence. And I think to a dangerous extent that has happened in this country. With all the praise that’s lavished on [Baroness] Doreen Lawrence [mother of the murdered teenager Stephen Lawrence], she’s constantly treating blacks as victims.
