Darcus Howe was a very well known agitator in the 1980s and served time for assaulting a police officer.

As soon as he's backed into a corner he plays the "negro" card, he knows fully well how to manipulate the BBC.

was MLK an agitator? I don't know anything about Howe, but I get skeptical when dissidents are labelled with the intention of dismissing them.

He's a professional race "victim", without stirring up racial tension, he loses his soapbox and his income.

If you look at the footage and photos of the rioters, they come in all shades.
