Nabil Abdul Rashid Responds to David Starkey

Popular culture
16 August, 2011

A young man called Nabil Abdul created a video response to David Starkey’s recent outrageous claims about black people.

Starkey went on BBC Newsnight to proclaim that “the white’s had become black” and blamed the use of Jamaican patois amongst young white people for the reason people descended into rioting.

Nabil gives a great reasoned response to a man that probably only knows black culture from watching Ali Gee.
