Society should stop pandering to 'intolerant hate mobs'

Western societies should stop pandering to “crazy, intolerant hate mobs” who are determined to erase history, overturn capitalism and attack law abiding citizens, according to Sky News host Rita Panahi.

The comments come after Black Lives Matter activists called for the toppling of the Emancipation Memorial in Washington.

The memorial was established in 1876 and was paid for by freed slaves, who wanted to commemorate the Emancipation Proclamation.

Ms Panahi said the controversy surrounding the Emancipation Memorial is part of a disturbing trend.

"Through out this protest we've seen the emergence of a disturbing trend, the unhinged, educated but ignorant anti-racist racists," she said.

"You know these anti-racist protesters have a lot in common with real racists. Like white supremacists they are obsessed with colour, ethnicity and victimhood, and somehow despite all available evidence they believe that they are both morally and intellectually superior.

"These people think the most important thing about an individual isn't their actions, their character or achievements but the colour of their skin and the suffering of their ancestors."
