Absolutely disgusting the way those newspapers have manipulated those comments of his.
Regardless of your stance on him, newspapers surely have to follow a code of conduct and ethic's, mind you this is the Daily mail we are talking about.
I hope he sue's them.
Mods should be banning apologists for terrorism on here. It is wholly unacceptable on a gaming site.
Yeah, you are expecting us to trust the judgement of someone who thinks Nazis causing genocides are just "people trying to do the right thing for the world".
No thanks, you can keep your little woke-independent shtick, one that involves "there are some fine Nazis".

Sargon vs the Daily Mail? Trouble in paradise? LOL.

They didn't have slaves in England, where it was never technically legal (the Somerset case in 1772 established that). However the English were one of the largest participants in the Atlantic slave trade in the colonies.
Regardless, they were well aware of the racialised nature of slavery in the New World. It's true that until the 20th Century terms like negro were common and not considered pejoratives. Nigger is a specifically American construction - if it was known to non-Americans it was known as a slur.
There is some complexity in the early to mid-20th Century - eg, Australians rarely used the word "nigger" (our racist slur of choice was "coon") until about the 1970s-80s where US pop culture permeated ours. Could've been a similar case in Britain. There might have been a period of some overlap in the early part of the 20th Century where the word "nigger" made it out of the US but was not universally understood as a slur. But by the Civil Rights Era that had completely changed.
Shalcker's suggestion that Sargon, a modern British person, wouldn't be aware of the implications of the term is downright ludicrous.
Nope. He's standing in the EU elections to become an MEP not the local elections to become a councillor. And he be won't be "losing" when he fails to get elected in the EU elections. I'll say it again, you cannot vote directly for Sargon in the EU elections, you will be voting for UKIP as a party, not the individual candidates.
