Black British Journalist Calls London Riots “Insurrection Of Masses”
Respected Black British journalist Darcus Howe recently called the London riots an “insurrection of the masses” and a not a riot.
“It is happening in Syria, it is happening in Clapham, it’s happening in Liverpool,” said Howe in an interview with BBC television on Tuesday.

“It’s an insurrection of a generation of poor, primarily, black people from the Caribbean and from Africa,” said Howe.
