Salon reports:
“Black crime” was no longer just a racist tag for far-right websites Monday, after Sebastian Gorka started talking about “black African gun crime” on Sinclair Broadcast stations. Gorka, a former White House adviser for President Donald Trump, said during a town hall-style event produced by Sinclair that action was needed to curb gun crime among “black Africans.”
“Our big issue is black African gun crime against black Africans,” Gorka said. “It is a tragedy. Go to Chicago, go to the cities run by Democrats. For 40 years, black young men are murdering each other by the bushel. This is a social issue. Allow the police to do their jobs and rebuild those societies. Legislation will not save lives.”

“Black African crime.” It’s like being transported to Apartheid South Africa sometime around 1980… https://t.co/uyupIQ6ycG

"Black African" is definitely a normal phrase that normal people use https://t.co/ucI2JD5yjo

Notice how Gorka deliberately referred to Black Americans as "Black Africans". This was NOT a slip of the tongue. This is to foreign-ize us https://t.co/QWM3T97aXw
