Keir Stammer’s Savage Takedown of Kemi Badenoch: The House Negress as the “Self-Appointed Savior of Western Civilization”

Mar 01, 2025

Shortly after our “sister” Kemi Badenoch was elected the leader of the British Conservative Party, I wrote a searing article which, unfortunately, if predictably, many of the over-educated (miseducated, if the truth be told) Africans failed to grasp. As always, they donned their emotional garbs to defend the indefensible.

Few even bother to stick with the facts I presented; it was all ad hominem castigation of the messenger pillared on pure inanities.

I wrote, inter alia: “The expression “Here we go again” jumped into my mind as I processed the enthusiastic effusions of some Africans, especially the educated elite, over Kemi Badenoch's election (or selection) as the new leader of Britain’s Conservative Party.

Questions, questions!

What makes it impossible for some of us to develop the minimalistic ability for critical thinking despite our education and degrees?

Why do we always get excited over primordial, ethnic, and tribal issues?

Why can we not, like most rational human beings, develop the ability to question what those who purport to be one of us bring to the table to improve our lot?

Her track record on issues like race and immigration suggests that her leadership may reinforce, rather than dismantle, the structures that perpetuate inequality and discrimination.

As African and Black communities consider the significance of Kemi Badenoch’s rise within the Conservative Party, it’s essential to view her leadership critically and understand the broader context of the party’s history and the policies it represents.” - here.

The British Prime Minister’s recent verbal evisceration of Kemi Badenoch, calling her the “Self-appointed Savior of Western Civilization,” was not just a savage political attack - it was a searing indictment of the grotesque caricature that Kemi has become.

Yours sincerely is not an admirer of the British PM Keir Stammer, but his savage pulldown of our arrogant and pretentious “sister” earned my praise

For those unfamiliar with her, Kemi Badenoch, born Olukemi Olufunto Adegoke in 1980, is of Yoruba Nigerian origin, like yours sincerely.

Like many people before her, she and her family took full advantage of Britain’s then-generous immigration policies. She was educated in the UK and benefited from its social mobility structures, which was earned at a great price through activism and protests; she climbed the ladder of British politics to become the leader of the opposition Conservative Party.

Yet, in the most absurd twist of irony, she has now become one of the most vocal opponents of the same immigration from which she benefitted to climb to her present office, advocating for the very doors that allowed her in and in which she took full advantage to be slammed shut for others.

This is the nadir of gratuitous opportunism.

Kemi’s brand of race treachery is not new. Her case is that of the House Negro, as perfectly enunciated by the inimitable Malcolm X, who was always eager to prove their loyalty to the master, often going further than even the master himself in ensuring the perpetuation of oppression - Badenoch’s defining trait. We saw it also in “Brother” Obama, who ringed Africa with US bases, established the largest Drone facility in Niger, and led the NATO forces to destroy Africa’s most developed independent nation, Libya.

As always, Malcolm X described the House Negro with brutal precision: “If the master said, ‘We got a good house here,’ the House Negro would say, ‘Yes, master, we got a good house here.’ Whenever the master said, ‘We,’ he said, ‘We.’ That’s how you can tell a House Negro.”

Kemi Badenoch has embraced this role with reckless enthusiasm. She has styled herself as the ultimate defender of Western civilization, railing against “woke culture,” opposing racial justice movements, and championing policies that disproportionately harm people who look like her. Like the House Negro, she is desperate to be accepted by the master, even if it means betraying her origins.

So desperate is she to be anointed by the British establishment that she makes even the most rabid right-wingers in her party seem moderate by comparison.

When Mr. Stammer dismissed her as a “self-appointed” savior of the West, it was not just a savage putdown of a usurper but an outright rejection of her delusions of grandeur. The British Prime Minister could not resist piling on, dismissing her latest antics as nothing more than “seeking relevance.”

That is precisely what “our sister” has been doing - flailing about, shooting off her mouth in her auditioning for the role of Britain’s newest political attack dog, hoping to be rewarded for her eager betrayals of her long-oppressed and marginalized.

Seriously, does Kemi Badenoch think that she would be where she is today without the protests and agitations of people of her race in the 1960s and 1970s?

Cursed are those who forgot their roots and their history.

Suppose Kemi Badenoch needs a role model in self-hating sycophancy, she needs to look no further than Ayaan Hirsi Ali, the Dutch-Somali provocateur who built her entire career on demonizing Islam and Africa and became a toast of the Dutch political elite and their fawning media.

Hirsi Ali thoroughly mastered the art of appeasing the white establishment, presenting herself as a reformed African, ready to testify about the savagery of her people. She was handsomely rewarded for her betrayal, paraded on Western media as a “brave” voice against her own culture.

Badenoch has followed the same playbook. She has carefully curated an image of the “good immigrant” who shuns everything that might associate her with the struggles of Black people. From her mouth, we hear: “I’m not interested in being an identity politics figure. I’m not here to represent the black community. I’m here to represent everyone,” She attacks diversity initiatives, sees nothing positive in Africa, denies systemic racism, and scorns efforts to rectify historical injustices like slavery. Like Hirsi Ali, she understands that in Western political circles, the most valuable Black person is the one who attacks other Black people.

How deluded people like Kemi and Ayaan failed to see that the Establishment is using them is something that serious psychiatrists should investigate.

Yet, for all her efforts, Kemi is still met with derision. Even some Conservatives increasingly view her as an overzealous opportunist. Starmer’s “seeking relevance” jibe was more than just a political jab - it confirmed what everyone already knows: Badenoch’s performances are not born out of convinced principles but political expediency bothering on desperation.

Could she have imagined herself as a British Prime Ministerial material?

Kemi Badenoch’s case is symptomatic of a larger malaise: the continued mental enslavement of some Africans in the diaspora. These individuals, molded by centuries of oppression, do not see themselves as Africans but as extensions of their colonial masters. Their loyalty is not to their people but to the structures that have historically subjugated them.

Colo Mentality?

Stockholm Syndrome?

Cognitive dissonance?

Kemi’s case validates our stance that we Africans must abandon the naïve assumption that every Black person outside of Africa is a brother or sister. Many of us refused to accept the fact that the long years of slavery and colonialism have reshaped identities, producing a class of people who see Africa only in antagonistic terms. These individuals do not seek Africa’s progress; they seek its erasure.

Our greatest prophet, Marcus Mosiah Garvey, warned: I have no desire to take all black people back to Africa; there are blacks who are no good here and will likewise be no good there.” The great Pan-Africanist understood that our oppressors had so deeply conditioned some of us that they had become enemies of our people - complete sellouts.

Lucky Dube, the late South African reggae legend, put it even more bluntly in his song Not Every Black Man is My Brother. He knew that skin color alone does not define allegiance. Some Black people have chosen to be foot soldiers for oppression, eager to impress their masters at the expense of their kin.

Badenoch’s political theatrics should serve as a lesson to Africans worldwide. It is time for us to stop deluding ourselves that skin color confers some all-embracing family love. We should stop confusing shared ancestry with a shared purpose. Not every Black person is invested in the liberation of Black people. We should accept that some, like Kemi Badenoch, have dedicated their entire existence to proving their loyalty to their oppressors.

Let her be a reminder that the House Negro is alive and well, and he (or she) will always be eager to prove that they love the master’s house more than the master himself.
