Liberals have declared war on reason

Oh come on, you must be aware of things like Ken Livinstone’s aide “Black people cant be racist”, the spate of “dear white people” statements from various places such as MTV, the American professor Noel Ignatiev who wants to “abolish the social construct known as white people”, the vast numbers of celebrities who make anti-white statements and the double standards of prejudice when it comes to the ethnic status of white people v. The ethnic status of other peoples in the world.

I dunno.

The ethnically Nigerian and very liberal student who runs the Black and Minority Ethnic Society at Cambridge University seems to have difficulty in understanding it when he tweeted:

'ALL white people are racist. White middle class, white working class, white men, white women, white gays, white children they can ALL geddit'

I'm white, so your racism just fell a bit flat, and also just because they didn't experience it doesn't mean they don't experience the repercussions of it.

Tribalism is not inherently worse than the alternative; the "democratic" nations are horribly corrupt because they are banana republics manipulated by western capitalism politics; white colonialism was the cause of the Nazi party, indirectly, and also said colonial nations had no qualms with Nazi Germany subjugating it's own population and only intervened because they believed borders were of divine import, after Germany began invading and annexing other countries (and even then were extremely slow to respond until it directly threatened their place in the power dynamic of Europe.

Part of me is sorry your education failed you so badly but a larger part of me is looking forward to when you are held accountable for our willful ignorance.

Yet they still recruit fewer BME students than proportionally representative, and fewer state school students even - and since the majority of BME students are state school students, and often are left attending the worst in the country due to the fact the systemic racism prevents their parents getting better jobs and moving to better school zones, it is necessary to correct for the problems I pointed out. Which anyone with two brain cells can see, so I assume you must have fewer.

Black students probably get fewer first because of that exact reason, since they have a weaker foundation due to social issues that affect them but are outside of their control - before you consider any subconscious biases that markers may have against such students where they are able to identify them, which has been well documented in research.

But that doesn't seem to be the case does it?

2011 Census UK

Black population as a percentage of overall UK population: 3%

2016 Applications to Cambridge University

Black applicants as a percentage of overall applicants: 3%


"Oxford and Cambridge are two institutions that do not appear to show systematic or consistent bias against black or less privileged applicants."

I don’t think there are any.

Maybe the virtue signaller can explain why countries such as one once referred to as “the breadbasket of Africa” can’t even feed their own people anymore?

The entire world had slaves in the past not just White people, look in the Bible and you will see stories about slaves in ancient Egypt, the pyramids are known to be build by slaves, the Aztec and Incas are known to have had slaves.

Erm...OP....


Did you ever look in the Oxford Dictionary at the official definition of Sex and Gender? Because at the moment, you're entire statement is a joke founded on the concept of hate and lies.

How is the difference between two so called races the same as the difference between a dog and a cat?

But as white people, we don't experience racism on a daily basis. We are not prevented from getting jobs, or being served in shops, or stopped and searched by the police frequently, or any other manner of social barriers simply because of the colour of out skin..

Of course. And they are no better to a point. Expect they are generally on the receiving end so a little empathy of their anger and frustration is perhaps appropriate.

We forget that we live in a generally white world. If you are white, life is easy. If you are not white it is incredible difficult. I find it rather insensitive to be so offended when black people throw a bit of what they experience on a daily basis back at us. I don't condone it but it does shine a light on the issue in a way that simply saying racism isn't very nice can never achieve.

You clearly don't like racism aimed at whites, so I would fully expect someone like yourself to be condoning racism of all shapes, colours and hues.

I never for a second said that black people aren't racist. I always find it interesting that the counter argument to the view that all racism is bad is to pick on black person as an example of racism against white and that that in turn sort of justifies being racist back at black people again.

In my view, all racism is bad. But as white people, we don't experience racism on a daily basis. We are not prevented from getting jobs, or being served in shops, or stopped and searched by the police frequently, or any other manner of social barriers simply because of the colour of out skin. If we did understand and experience that, perhaps we might have a little empathy for people like this Nigerian chap you mentioned and his motives for Tweeting what he did.

Classic "they did it too" excuse. Pathetic.

Why can't disadvantaged students of any race be given this opportunity?

You say that right wingers point to black racism as a justification of racism.

The point is not to justify racism but to point to liberal hypocrisy and liberal wars declared on reason by liberals targeting white racism but seeming to ignore racism from “minority” groups.

Its a fair question. But I find it sad that you pick on this organisation rather than the inequality that sees the majority of Oxbridge students coming from privately educated backgrounds. These students have access not only to the very best education money can buy, but influence and networks that allow them to tap straight into Oxbridge elite.

Yet you choose to criticise an organisation that aims to help the most disadvantaged of disadvantaged people in the country. Odd!

Why not target all disadvantaged people? A fair point. But as a white disadvantaged person applying to Oxbridge you are already significantly more advantaged than your black peer.

There are 480 million white people in the world which represents 6.5% of the worlds population so it isn’t a white world

I never said right wingers were racist. I also never suggested that black racists were liberal. You are putting words in my mouth. Just because one person may not fit the bill does not mean there is hypocrisy across a whole movement. There is no liberal agenda I am aware of that says racism against blacks is worse than racism against whites.

But it is a fact that in this country, racism against whites tends to be words of the sticks and stones nature. Racism against blacks sees barriers put up that prevent them getting jobs, accessing services and participating fully in society.

You seem to be complaining about the "sticks and stones" aspect of racism, where as most black anti-racism activists simply want the same chances in society that white people take for granted.

Go back to your whiteboard and then add in where the wealth of the world lies. Where is it based (i.e. where do the owners of that wealth live?)

Yep - there are some wealthy oil barrens in the Middle East, but my back of an envelope calculations would see most of the world's wealth spread around Europe and the US. i.e. in whiteland.

Population has nothing to do with anything. When it comes to equality in the world, it all boils down to money and power.
