Yusra Khogali is the founder of BLM Toronto, arguably the most infamous wing of the BLM movement. Her group is known for interrupting a pride parade to demand that the police not be allowed to attend, among other things.
Yusra can be considered a lolcow for much the same reason the dozens of other Social Justice Warrior types we have covered can be. She hold ridiculous, delusional and unscientific views. She constantly plays the victim, avoids criticism of her or her movement (the reason her twitter has been protected for ages is to avoid "white supremacists" "harassing" her), and has tendencies to freak the fuck out in ways that lead her to get disowned by people who would normally be sympathetic towards her.
Back in April of 2016 she published an Op-Ed in the Toronto Sun claiming she was "villified" for telling the truth about Racism in Canada, as opposed to getting vilified because she was a racist. And our friends at HuffingPaint whiteknighted her.
LIBERAL CANADIAN PRIME MINISTER TRUDEAU IS ACTUALLY A WHITE SUPREMACIST AND TERRORIST ACCORDING TO THIS NUTJOB

"It's astonishing how some are willing to sabotage BLM's principles and credibility just to excuse an edgy black supremacist that no one is fond of."
Name: Yusra Khogali
Residence: Toronto, Ontario, Canada
Birthday: September 29, 1991 (age: 25)
TORONTO - A co-founder of Black Lives Matter Toronto argued that white people are “recessive genetic defects” and purportedly mused about how the race could be “wiped out” according to a post on what appears to be her Facebook page.
Yusra Khogali has faced increased scrutiny over the past year after BLM Toronto gained political influence following their disruption of the Toronto Pride parade and confrontations with Ontario Premier Kathleen Wynne.
On Friday, Toronto police announced they would not participate in this year’s upcoming parade. This has been a longstanding demand of BLM TO and one that the board of Pride Toronto recently backed in a controversial vote.
Khogali has a track record of inflammatory, divisive rhetoric.
Only last week during a protest in front of the US consulate Khogali shouted into a microphone that “Justin Trudeau is a white supremacist terrorist” and urged the crowd to “rise up and fight back.”
“Look at us, we have the numbers,” she said.
She also faced controversy in the news for a tweet posted a year ago stating: “Plz Allah give me strength to not cuss/kill these men and white folks out here today.”
While these remarks alarmed many Canadians, they pale in comparison to a statement numerous sources forwarded to the Sun that Khogali appears to have posted on Facebook in late 2015.
“whiteness is not humxness,” the statement begins. “infact, white skin is sub-humxn.” The post goes on to present a genetics-based argument centred on melanin and enzyme.
“white ppl are recessive genetic defects. this is factual,” the post reads towards the end. “white ppl need white supremacy as a mechanism to protect their survival as a people because all they can do is produce themselves. black ppl simply through their dominant genes can literally wipe out the white race if we had the power to.”
Khogali did not respond to requests for comment from the Sun. But if she did in fact write the post, her thesis doesn’t pass muster for one of America’s leading scholars of the history of eugenics.
“The document mirrors the racism of American eugenicists who claimed in the first third of the 20th century that native whites were genetically superior not only to blacks but also to immigrants from Eastern and Southern Europe,” Daniel Kevles, a professor at Yale University, wrote to the Sun. “Their claims were without any scientific foundation and added up to expressions of naked white racism.”
Kevles’ book “In the Name of Eugenics: Genetics and the Uses of Human Heredity” is considered a leading text in the field.
“The anger and frustration that animates the Black Lives Matter movement is altogether understandable, but the way to contest pseudo-science and white prejudice is not with an alternative pseudo-science and black prejudice,” notes Kevles. “It is with moral argument and political action.”
The BLM TO website explains their stated goals are “to dismantle all forms of state-sanctioned oppression, violence and brutality committed against African, Caribbean, and Black cis, queer, trans, and disabled populations in Toronto.”
There is no indication the group or any of its other members supports the sentiments expressed in the alarming post.
The Sun did not hear back from BLM TO and the main Black Lives Matter umbrella group in the United States following various requests for comment.
