The BBC reports "Black MPs spurn Boris mayoral bid". Who are these MP's? Well they are both from the labour party (what a huge blow to Boris)
1) The hypocrtiacal Diane Abbott MP for Hackney North
2) All black short list selected Dawn Butler MP for Brent South (and they suggest Tories are racist!)
They claim comments he wrote in a 2002 article where he wrote about the Queen being greeted in Commonwealth countries by "flag-waving piccaninnies"were offensive. What hypocrits they are . Here Boris Johnson does not say anything racist but that does not stop them from making these suggestions.
I don't remember either of them speaking up when Ken Livingstone made those hugely offensive remarks to the Evening Standards Jewish reporter.Also what about the Anti-semetic comments he made about the Simon and David Reuben brothers?It is the labour party that needs to look at intolerence within it's ranks.

If Boris wrote 'flag-waving piccaninnies', then I agree, that was racist and offensive. But I suppose people can learn from their mistakes. When you say 'Here BJ does not say...' I'm not sure to where you refer.
A huge amount has been made of Ken and the anti-semitism angle. Though true, I'm not sure what Diane's views are on this.
