  Guardian | Darcus Howe's freedom to talk utter rubbish
What I can't come to terms with is how anyone who had actually met him could mistake this dopey old reactionary for anything other than the person he is. It must have been, in the words of Ali G, because he is fl.
Howe's idea of freedom is anything he has ever said or done.
Howe has been divorced twice - a vital qualification for an anti-establishment role model who believes the world would be much improved if everyone made his mistakes.

 Pakistani Defence Forum -> I Try To Interview A Group Of Pakistanis, And They   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02)
Darcus' problem is that now the West indians who used to pick on Pakistanis no longer have the strength to do so because Pakistanis will kick, stab and shoot seven colours of shit out of them.
Darcus was certainly a radical in the sense that he agitated for equitable treatment of West Indians in the UK.
Trinidad-born Darcus Howe, who left these shores for Britain back in the 1960s, is well recognised as a journalist and a Black activist in the 'Mother Country'.

But yesterday Howe hit a nerve that led to Rivers summoning up one of the coarser phrases from her Brooklyn childhood, screeching, before anyone in the BBC could push the mute button, that Howe was a "son of a bitch".
Howe went on to talk about his Channel 4 documentary Son of Mine, detailing his relationship with his 20 year-old son, Amiri, and whether it was racism or his faults as a father that were to blame for the difficulties his child had been through.
Howe, 56, the son of an Anglican priest, is one of Britain's leading fl commentators, noted for his Channel 4 programme The Devil's Advocate, a studio debate that featured his polemical style, as well as a weekly column in The New Statesman.

Darcus Howe, the activist who found himself at the receiving end of Joan Rivers' angry vitriol on Wednesday has been the subject of a profile published in the Independent today.
Darcus Howe is one of those people who believes that mixed race children are "confused" unless great care is taken to indoctrinate them into the idea that they are fl.
Howe: And one of the issues at large is the issue of young fl boys, not they're good or bad or indifferent, they're just what they are historically, they've just emerged into the world of globalisation with a certain attitude.

I heard about Darcus causing a right ruckus on BBC Radio 4 the other day when he basically accused Joan Rivers of being a racist (http://news.scotsman.com/latest.cfm?id=2114012005).
I don't know if this was to gain publicity for a new show of his coming out soon, but if that was the case it was rather a bad way to go about it.

How effortlessly euro-nationalism has appropriated the language of multiculturalism to meet its own objectives, demonstrates just how far the anti-racism of the 1970’s has drifted.
How comfortable the euro-nationalists fit, unmasks the lie that multiculturalism is naturally progressive.

 American Renaissance News: Joan Rivers Unleashes Torrent of Abuse in Racism Row On Radio 4
Darcus Howe is what passes for an ‘intellectual’by the dismally subterranean standards of the so-called Black community.
Unfortunately for Darcus he slipped on his own banana skin on this occasion - when all is said and done Darcus isn’t the brightest tool in the box and relies upon over-preparation, the ‘broken record’ repeat, and dead-pan delivery to put over his ponderous point….no threat to the acerbic, quick wit of Joan Rivers.
Hopefully Darcus will crawl back into a hole with his son and renew the father/child bonds that were cut short by Darcus’s past lack of personal discipline and commitment to a monogamous relationship.

She was on to promote her national tour; he was on to plug his new television film, Son Of Mine, in which he documents the relationship between himself and his mixed-race son and how keen he was that his child get to know his fl roots.
Rivers, being typically flippant, extolled the virtues of mixed-race children, suggesting that by being half white and half fl, they were part of everything, at which point Howe accused her of having a problem with the word 'fl'.
The method, she says, worked for her and she remains so convinced that it can work effectively for others that she now regularly lectures on how to survive suicide and deal with depression, a subject in which she has much experience.

 New Statesman: We can bury the likes of Howard: Darcus Howe on race relations   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02)
Michael Howard and his Australian sidekick, Lynton Crosby, returned race to the political agenda in language intemperate, in the vain hope that they would stir a dwindling electorate to identify us, citizens of dark skins, as the main source of this country's social problems.
He failed principally because the process of building harmony between races is at an advanced stage, solidified at the base of our society by the millions of us who live cheek by jowl in Britain's inner cities.
It is time for the government not only to recognise the existence of this harmony and how it was built from the bottom up, but also to put a policy in place that would bury the Howards of our political world for ever.
