Akron, Ohio’s first Pakistani Muslim mayor is convinced that America is racist.
Despite winning a challenging mayoral election by 97% in which he was the only candidate on the ballot after the Republican candidate was disqualified, Shammas Malik has never stopped talking about how racism is everywhere in the country and the city that elected him.
“He’s going to be the face of equity and diversity,” a Malik ally claimed.
And the face of diversity believes that everything about Akron, including its Innerbelt defunct highway system, is racist. “The choice to build the Innerbelt is a great example of systemic racism,” he claimed. “Projects like the Innerbelt explain our sickening racial wealth gap,” he contended elsewhere. And “one great example” of Akron’s racism, he lectured, was the Innerbelt which “was designed to help suburban commuters get to downtown Akron quicker.”
Malik’s solution to most problems, from highways to law enforcement, is to blame racism.
In 2022, Jayland Walker, who had led police on a chase the previous night, shot at officers and then tried to flee while wearing a ski mask, was shot and killed leading to BLM race riots.
Malik showed up at a protest against the grand jury’s refusal to indict the 8 police officers for shooting a man in a ski mask who had opened fire at them and was reaching into his waistband and then raising his arm before they finally opened fire on the suicidal man.
“There can be no justification for the brutal amount of force in the video of Jayland’s last moments,” Malik insisted while not making it clear what the correct amount of force police should use when they think a man wearing a ski mask in June is about to shoot at them.
Malik started his time in office by appointing a Director of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) and doubling down on his claim that the country and the city are deeply racist hellholes.
“The very real history of racism in America is more than just history, it shapes the systems and institutions around us today,” Malik claimed.
Those are the same systemically racist institutions which allowed Shammas Iqbal Qammar Malik, the 32-year-old son of a Pakistani immigrant, to head one of the largest cities in Ohio. Institutions so deeply racist that they elevated him above all the other white primary candidates and then gifted him an uncontested election after less than four years on the City Council.
Malik claimed that the “history of racism means that the race of a baby born in Akron today will have a huge impact on their life experience – from the likelihood that they will live past infancy, to the amount of money they will earn in a lifetime.” What did Malik’s own race determine?
Mayor Shammas Malik’s father, a Pakistani immigrant, who used different names, left him and his American mother, a liberal University of Akron professor, had other secret kids, and was later arrested for wire fraud and impersonating an Air Force officer.
Despite that, both Malik and his brother Najim were able to intern at the Senate. Malik went on to intern at the Department of Defense, attend Harvard Law School and get the highest possible position in city government after only a few years on the job.
That is how incredibly racist America and Akon are.
As a student, Shammas Malik had been a member of the terrorist-linked Muslim Student Association before graduating to intern at the terrorist-linked Muslim Public Affairs Council. Multiple MSA leaders and officials have gone on to fight for Al Qaeda and other Islamic terrorist groups. MPAC’s leaders have defended Hamas as well as other Islamic terrorist groups.
After working as a government and policy intern for MPAC, Malik moved on to the leftist Center for American Progress and then as an intern in the Pentagon’s legal office working on federal litigation involving national security and military commissions trials for Al Qaeda terrorists.
And he has learned one thing from all his experiences. America is terrible.
Malik Shammas claimed that America “killed thousands of civilians through drone and airstrikes across Afghanistan, Pakistan, Iraq, Syria, Yemen, Somalia, etc. across the last 20 years – feeding into the recruitment of horrific terror groups like Al-Qaeda and ISIS.”
White people, like his mother and her family, an environmentalist who married his wealthy Pakistani dad, according to Malik, have far too much money because of systemic racism.
“White families have almost 10 times as much wealth as black families, in large part because of systemic barriers that prevent black families from accessing home ownership and creating intergenerational wealth,” Shammas Malik argued.
One reason Shammas Malik is the mayor is that he dominated the Democrat party mayoral primaries by outraising all the other candidates with over $300,000: a record setting amount for a local election. Wealth is evil and racist except when it comes from his old law firm.
Malik claimed white people suffer from “implicit bias” to be remedied with critical race theory.
“The reason we need a true and accurate teaching of race in school is because there’s unconscious bias,” Malik argued. “When folks talk about critical race theory being taught in public schools, we know by now that they’re not actually talking about critical race theory,” he argued another time. “What they’re alarmed about is a more honest, fuller accounting of race in our history.”
By “our history”, he doesn’t mean the incredibly racist system in Pakistan where a foreigner of another religion would never have a chance at a top position, and would be lucky not to be killed for even trying, but in the country that gave him every possible opportunity and advantage.
During the pandemic, Malik’s priority was racism. “Certainly it will be very important to find out how much race and class plays into this virus, here and nationwide,” he urged.
After the Supreme Court outlawed racial discrimination in college admissions (known by the misleading name of ‘affirmative action’), Malik, a Harvard Law alum, complained that, “systemic racism is real. To fix it, we have to be willing to acknowledge the problem in the first place. Today’s decision is a huge step backwards in the fight for freedom and justice for all people.”
Even the rising crime caused by pro-crime activists like him, was blamed on systemic racism.
“Like many cities, Akron is facing a crisis of gun violence, with 26 homicides so far this year, as well as necessary calls for reimagining our policing and oversight processes to address systemic racism and increase public trust,” the future mayor contended.
Ending the murders would require empowering the police to fight crime. Instead, Mayor Shammas Malik appointed a new DEI director and blamed systemic racism and the cops.
There was a time when immigrants would be grateful for the opportunities of this country, but many have since learned that it’s much more effective to be ungrateful and hateful instead.
“The vote for someone who is not the traditional white male profile is something that we as a community should celebrate,” a Malik ally claimed.
In politics and in so many other areas, merely not being white is its own achievement. And by being only half-white, Malik has achieved half of something.

Malik’s claim “When folks talk about critical race theory being taught in public schools, we know by now that they’re not actually talking about critical race theory,” can only be said by someone favoring critical race theory without stating what it is.
America is wonderful but also rather strange :
1_Any recent white immigrant in the United States is considered more American that any black American with a history of more than three centuries on the American soil.
2_Almost all ethnic groups – with the exception of blacks – in the world once they come to America are considered whites with the aim of alienating blacks by using the white./black racial catagorization.
Average lifespan of an empire is 250 years. America is just about there. If you start counting from the day the pilgrims landed on Plymouth shore 1620. It is 400 years well above average. 2024 may very well be the beginning of the end of America.
The beginning of the end started in 2008 with the first election of Hussein Obama, who promised to “fundamentally transform” America.
We now have open borders, loss of our energy independence that Trump gave us, release of violent criminals on no cash bail, a corrupt FBI, DOJ, and CIA, a radical black women on the Supreme Court who does not know what a women is because she is “not a biologist”, public school teachers who tell their students they can surgically change their sex and an FBI that will investigate parents that object to the mutilation of their kids, stolen US Presidental elections, fake news from the MSM, and so much more.
We are now in the third term of Hussein Obama, with corrupt puppet named Joe illegitimately inserted into the White House after the 2020 Presidential election was stolen from the real winner, Donald J Trump.
Proof that the 2024 election was stolen will be if Joe “wins”. In a fair and free election, Trump would again win in a landslide. What further “fundamental transformations” of America will occur during a fourth term of Hussein Obama?
Please note, in case any here have forgotten, that the kinyun is the FIRST person ever to be elected President of this nation who was/is NOT a “Natural Born Citizen”, which is constitutionally defined as the child of TWO parents who were both US Citizens at the time of that birth. The Bummer’s Mom was arguably still a Yankeess when he was born. Questionable but lets accept that as truth. However his pappy was a British Subject. Resident of what was then Kenya, which was a British Protectorate at that time. It later became a nation on its own right, but that was AFTER the kinyun was born.
We know all that and more, including the telling story of his false Social Security ID. But the DOJ refused to hear any of it, so there we are.
Let’s not forget that the “Republicans ” are still trying to shove Nikki Haley down our throats and neither of her parents were natural born Americans either. But Constitutional Law was defied by Obama and no one challenged it because they so feared being called Racists and Bigots ! . Never mind Obama won the White vote; they still call us Racists and Bigots. Personally I did not Vote for Obama and I think White Racism is just as bad as Black Racism and we are not Systemically Racist or why is every Race known to man storming our Border ! Stand Up to racial slurs ! Only those who can’t argue on the merits resort to cheap ad hominem attacks. Many of us are from the ‘Sticks and Stones Generation’ and names can never hurt us.. Stand up straight and carry on…
The 60.s was the beginning of the end. Decadence, frivolity, the women’s movement and sexual revolution, and the turn from God to the intellectual class. Now with the corruption of the government and open borders allowing unassimilated hordes to pillage our cities it is the sign of an empire that’s lost its will to survive . The Fate of Empires is a constant process throughout the last 5 millennia. We aren’t immune. Sounds pessimistic. Because it is. Can we alter this course?
Yes, “without a vision the nation who forgets God will most certainly perish”! If there is any one thing that defines God, it is creation and life itself! An endless universe where energy bearing suns give life and allow those living things to thrive and even build things themselves. Even allowing that one single creature, capable of reasoning, to consider and perhaps even thankful for the creator of it all. We are in a truly remarkable time, witnessing this sophisticated creature turn inward, losing that vision and willingly destroy their offspring and themselves!
The beginning of the end did not happen all at once or with any single event. 1913 was a seminal year, with the establishment of the Federal Reserve and the Federal income tax under progressive Woodrow Wilson.
The most important feature of our undoing is a gradual (and now rapid) loss of our Christian heritage, culture and leadership. Representative republics and capitalism are great, but only with Christian culture and leadership together with the moral restraints of that faith.
Thanks KH, I often think about 1913, and how USA got entangled in WW1.
Yup. It was only two years later the Jerries somehow figured out we were, against treaty terms, smuggling war materiel into England (mst likely with help through corruption on our eastern shores….) which led directly and proximally and causally to the sinking of the Lusitania between Ireland and England. The ship would have sunk rather slowly, allowing many to debark into the lifeboats, but the minutions secretly loaded into a hold slightly forward of amidships were touched off by the torpedo. No one has been able to establish beyond speculation whether the attacking ünterzeeboot crew knew just where those munitions were loaded. In any case, one “fish” found them and fed the fishes in the sea rather well that night.
No government official ever admitted to the clandestine supplying of arms and munitions via passenger liners.
But this incident was billed to we Yanks as a an unprovoked and unjustified attack by Germany on our civilian passenger traffic.
Of course, this was far from the first such false front/flag “incident” in our history. “Remember the Maine” coes quickly to mind, as well as the false flag event at Fort Sumpter South Carolina, the “match” that “lit’ the War of Northern Aggression.
Pierre Gustav Toutant Beauregard was a Federal plant?
You are a farging idiot.
America now needs the Puritan founders more than ever.
Bring back Puritan leaders John Winthrop and William Bradford.
They will take care of the depraved psychopathic Islamic barbarians.
The present elite woke leftist dem psychopathic DEI CRT leaders of America are berserk.
Islam in America will surely destroy it, just as it destroyed Byzantium/the Eastern Roman Empire several
hundred years ago.
Depraved psychopathic murderous Islam and Moo — Slums have been a scourge on humanity for 1400
years..
Enough already.
I’d settle for John Adams., Teddy Roosevelt, and/or Ronald Reagan. I think it would take a combination of the three, with the pragmatism of a Thomas Jefferson to get things back on track.
Congrats to Bosch for that picture!
“ after the Republican candidate was disqualified, ”
Perfect election for a Muslim dictatorship.
Akron is already a shithole, now it can be part of the Islamofascist Empire
If America is so irreducibly racist, why’d he come here? He can go back to Pakistan. It is 99% Muslim- at least one quarter of its population was non Muslim before it was ethnically cleansed of Hindus and Sikhs by “The Religion of Peace” during the Partition- like Jewish refugees driven from Islamic countries, they don’t prick the consciences of the Woke.. Its government under Yahya Khan committed another genocide against Bengalis in which at least 3,000,000 were killed, and no one protested at the UN, or brought a charge to the World Court
Can you document that charge of genocide? When did it happen? At about the same time as Pakistan expelled its Hindus, didn’t India expel its Moslems?
Google it Miranda … Bangladesh Liberation War … 1971
… Wiki’s got a page for it (I’m sure is not accurate, but who knows)
… even a few Libtards have done Youtube videos on it.
At the time the East Pakis and the West Pakis had a political civil war. While it many not be a ‘genocide’ … the West Paki forces apparently slaughtered tens of thousands of East Pakis. Some commenters claim up that millions died – although that’s probably an exaggeration.
I remember it from when I was a kid. It was a footnote then.
India is still about 10-15% Muslim. Muslims fled India, but many more remained. Just as there are actually more Arab Muslims in Israel today than there were in 1948- in contrast, Jews in the Arab World were reduced from around one million to fewer than 5,000, mostly in “tolerant” Morocco, which has less than 1/100th the Jewish population it had in 1948.
Additionally there’s a historical context- Muslims killed tens of millions of people conquering the Indian subcontinent . They were much worse colonists than the British.
No, India did not intentionally expel its Muslems. The Muslems left voluntarily in huge numbers to form the Muslem majority in Pakistan when India was partitioned.
Pakistan (“land of the pure”) was created ostensibly to be the first intentionally Muslim state. But ironically, despite all the chaos and bloodshed during the partition, more Muslims remained in India than resided in Pakistan afterwards.
Today date,8 years back 19 non muslim yezdi innocent girls were burnt to death in Iraq for refusing s-ex with Islmc terrsts as per quran.Want proof,look history
Don’t forget.
The rigging; “after the Republican candidate was disqualified,”
Too many shmucks, too little time.
Why do people vote for candidates like him? I don’t care how much money he was able to spend on campaigning. He’s obviously a poor choice. FWIW, he seems to talk a lot about “implicit bias.” Did he ever stop to consider what may be cause it, if it exists at all. Maybe the fact that blacks, 12% of the population except in TV commercials, commit 57% of homicides in the U.S., or that 85% of interracial crime in the U.S. is committed by blacks, or that 72%+ of black children are born out of wedlock and that 80%+ of black children are living with a single parent by age 2, and so on have something to do with it. I guess it is “implicit bias” to notice. And has anyone asked him how “the Innerbelt which “was designed to help suburban commuters get to downtown Akron quicker” is racist? First, if it allows suburbanites to get downtown quicker it means more economic vitality for the downtown. Second, since I assume it isn’t a one-way highway, I assume it also allows people living downtown to get to jobs in the suburbs more easily. And this guy went to Harvard?
Not saying it was election fraud …
… but it was election fraud …
😉
I a curious to know the actual numbers in that election. Since the alternate candidate was disqualified, he could have gotten nine votes to ine write in for Charlie’s Dog, and won with a 90% tally I would bet, if there were a LOT of votes, many were “suspec”.. “harvested”, dupplicated, etc. as is commin in largely moose country.
I don’t think the innerbelt was linked to systematic racism. I’m sure there are plenty of Blacks in Akron who can afford to live in the suburbs. I think it was linked to CLASS prejudice. Gentrification, urban renewal, and renovation of infrastructure shove THE POOR around.
Nonsense. Post-war highway projects were always based on traffic. If the KKKrats in Akron drove the good people of Akron out into the suburbs … the highway department built some roads to accommodate the drive …
… which likely gave the businesses in Akron a grace period before they too had to leave due to bad “leadership” by the KKKrats in Akron.
Why do Lefties claim that people who do not want to be victims of crime, taxation, and discrimination … always have the moral deficiencies that they have?
I’ve had this argument many times with racist bigots in academia. They spew every racist excuse against the victims fleeing the dangerous and poverty stricken slums created by their anti-everything policies.
… I always tell them that if they want to reinvigorate the inner cities …
… stop funding racist NGOs and commie activists, arrest the criminals, legalize landlords, employers, business, and – most important – shooting criminals, … and criminalize criminals …
… and stop stealing the taxes … and fix the potholes.
The racist bigots of academia always look at me like I’m speaking Greek – and spew nonsense back at me.
But the bottom line is that they cannot explain how those cities were successful and prosperous in the first place …
I never mentioned the KKK and I never criticized anyone who could afford it from moving out to the suburbs. I said gentrification shoves the poor around.
The fact that he attended Harvard isn’t very surprising. That may have contributed to his self-serving, delusional, claim that racism is everywhere.
I think all these accusations have actually hurt the Civil Rights movement and turned into a contest of who can claim the most racism.
His ISIS Al-Qaeda sympathies should disqualify him from any sort of government office, but that would be…you know.
Will the Soap Box Derby be too racist?
That filthy muslim puke can SUCK ON IT
No surprise. I’ve only met a few Pakis.
Thank God I’ve never had to depend on them …
… and I was able to get away before they exploded.
There’s an old cliche – which should be trotted out more often …
… familiarity breeds contempt …
G-d save us from our enemies …
I was at a store where a Paki guy I was friends with was at the counter. His son was there beside him, and something I did triggered him, and in an instant he was ready to attack me. But his Dad gave him a covert signal not to and saved me.
If Western countries suffer from systemic racism, it is probably of the anti-white variety. The whole concept of racism needs an overhaul, though. Not because it never happens, but because, like Islamophobia, it is far too elastic a concept to be of genuine use. In particular, the notion that “racism is as the victim defines it” needs to go. There needs to be objective, provable content of speech or writing, clearly traceable to the person who has been accused. Other offences may still be offences in the absence of such content, but they will not be racist offences.
When I was 14, I had a chair pulled from under me, and sustained a back injury. However, I was not the real victim, you understand, because the children involved assured the authorities that I had said “Blacks should go back on the banana boat”. It so happened that I had never heard of the expression “go back on the banana boat”, and the only thing I’d ever said to which a racist content could have been ascribed was that I would have liked to go to a grammar school – and that could only have been racist by default, if you argued (1) that the 11+ exam excluded particular groups and (2) that I knew this to be the case and approved.
When I was 15, in 1967, a very large black male at my high school was harassing me by following me in the school hallways and constantly grabbing my a**. I didn’t even know who he was, but after this went on for a while I ended up weeping and explaining the situation to a teacher. After this, a meeting with the principal followed, during which he claimed that I called him the n word, a word I have never used. That was the end of the meeting. I was a guilty white racist and he didn’t even receive a reprimand. A lot of foreigners in the US are quick to learn the ropes. My mom had a Pakistani lease some farmland from her for a few years before he sued her to try to take ownership of it, citing claims of racism. She was selling the land to a white man, who was willing to pay market value. He wasn’t. In that case, he lost.
New York and California are fast becoming examples in how not to run your state
akron deserves what is coming to them
I lived in a country where there was a LARGE population of pakis and hindis. A very close friend there worked with pakis daily. On he tales H could tell… he looked “different”, had swarthy skin because he grew up in a tropical area into his twenties. He was also multilingual, and that fluently, as he had to make his way in a mixed culture area. WHen he was working closely with the pakis he learned to perfectly mimic heir paki accent, inflection, mannerisms, figures of speech. They’d howl with laughter, and he’d often slip one past them unnoticed in an acive conversation, he was that good. He gained their trust, such as that was, as well. The stories he told on how they would defraud folks, punish them for petty “offenses” or simple gaffes, their avid despisal of westerners (their host culture), their two facedness, lying, cheating, stealing, etc. He averred as to how they were the slimiest people group on the planet.
Akron are in for the E Ticket Ride they deserve. WHY did the opponent gt disqualified? if for corruption or crime, how is it that sch a lout ended up in the ballot from which to BE disualified? Seems to me the city will now be forced to wallow in the hogm=pen they have made for themselves over time. Hpe they enjoy the muck…… cause it will be deep and smelly.
Ten bucks says this clown sill not last his term before he is criminally charged, recalled, caught up in a scandal of corruption, or simething else equally “juicy”
Muslims shouldn’t be allowed to hold public office because Islam prevents them from faithfully executing their oath of office. You can’t simultaneously be a devote Muslim and a loyal citizen.
Islam is a supremacist ideology that believes all non-believers (kafir) are inferior.
Funny how the Pakistani Muslim is the one calling Americans racist, because that’s the same thing the Pakistani rape gangs in Britain said to the white people there which led the police to stand down while they raped thousands of white Britains. People in Akron should keep a close eye on their daughters and sheep.
Do not blame the guy as he is a victim. Shall keep claiming the status till he is in a position to victimize others by his acts of bigotry 😁
Gonna get what you deserve.
Akron is over………DEI ultimately destroys any institution infected by its consequent mediocrity. Don’t send a DEI brain surgeon to work in my hospital.
So, Ohio voters are emulating those in UK, Scotland and Ireland – fine! They deserve any tribulation they are going to endure under a muslim leader.
Writing as an American native-born in the first half of the 20th Century, I witnessed systemic racial discrimination. It was conceived, legislated, and enforced by Democrats in public law, policy, and education. Interestingly, the schooling of the objects of this abuse was far more effective and complete than the “education” of the targets of equal rights court decisions and legislation that ensued the Brown v Board of Education decision.
The enterprise that has tattered the civic fabric of our republic predated our independence, but gained its modern purchase on the public sector when Woodrow Wilson resegregated the military, supported racial laws in southern states, and set out to make the federal government immune to the steadying hand of state governments. The spawn of Horace Mann then found solid footing, and used educational institutions to foster a sick view of the relationship among men and between them and the state. Entropy has consumed most of the religious framework that underpinned our early republic, and power has increasingly accreted to would-be and actual oligarchs, who rent elected officials on the cheap to tilt the law and regulations against the middle class and toward the ultra-rich.
Perhaps this fate of the world’s first government “by the governed” is inevitable. If so, my grandchildren will live in a much colder and more hostile world than I have enjoyed.
