Disgusting display of Racism

Fair play to him - he is trying to help people who came from his background.

This should be encouraged - even if the philanthropist is white asian etc;

Yet even if it is encouraged, it simply proves everything that racism is about - 'People are drawn to others that look like themselves'.

Only helping people from the same ethnic background is still a form of 'positive racism', basically an admission that racial barriers still exist and people still place such an emphasis on other people's race.

So being a Rhodes scholar is fine after all then.

That's the trouble with those who seek to control these things, they appear to be unhappy with anything but at least a 50-50 split despite BAME folk only being a fraction of the population. You will always get cases where certain groups are under or over represented, the only way to avoid it is to be a complete control freak (authoritarian/totalitarian). It's like throwing a dice 60 times and being unhappy that you don't get each number 10 times, each number has an equal chance but they're essentially blaming the person who throws the dice for why 1 and 4 were over represented in the overall outcome as they were unconsciously biased towards 1 and 4.

It's way more complex than just pointing at skin colour and screaming racist. They talk about unconscious bias but even if were true I would argue their solution to it of conscious bias/mass intervention is far more damaging and divisive.

Now that is an interesting point. Do all those who agree with Stormzy believe that the Rhodes scholarship should be for white males only? I believe it is funded from private money though it may have changed now.

When you realise there are over 9million white people living in poverty, which is more than the total population of black people living in the UK by a factor of 3.

Total 9.6m white people in poverty, total of 1.2m black people in poverty.

Assumptions

60m population
80% white British
5% black/mixed

20% white in poverty
40% black in poverty (blended)

Society as definately got more racist since I was a kid.

Now it seems racism is allowed in certain circumstances.

I think the main issue now is the extent of reporting possible, everything is now online in an instant and recorded forever more.

There are platforms for persons with extreme views to post their vitriol for all and sundry to see in an instant, so there is an imbalance now of the moderate view.

Anybody with a moderate view is shot down in an instant, and if anybody dares to put there head above the parapet and criticise the actions of a minority it can be life destroying.

So the main media is forced into the situation of condoning non moderate actions in the vain of the woke movement currently underway, regardless of the overall moderate implications of this.

There is a bit of brainwashing going on. But anyone with any sense can see the irony.

BLM etc don't represent Martin Luther king, Nelson Mendela, or Malcom X's ideals at all. They wanted everyone to be treated the same and skin colour to just not even be something on peoples mind. These groups are obviously keeping the friction going to keep themselves relevant.

 

[CREATIVE!11]

I don't really understand this.

These kids will have access to the exact same student funding as whites.

This is just more cringe virtue signalling if anything..... they keep trying to push this narrative of oh the UK is so RACIST. As I said can someone tell me the last time a black student was denied funding from the student loans company? I'll wait.

BLM is part of the problem when they could very easily be part of the solution; if they cared about all black lives.

Because this thing called 'positive discrimination' was introduced, it's an oxymoron and the root of the problem. To reduce racism you have to eradicate discrimination in the first place.

I'm 50 and I would say there is far less racism than when i was a teenager- it's socially unacceptable to most. Also, people are way more accepting of gay people.

There will always be cases, but the overt horrible behaviour I used to see as a matter of course has mostly gone away.

Pretty sure Malcom X wanted racial separation.

We don't go for segregation. We go for separation. Separation is when you have your own. You control your own economy; you control your own politics; you control your own society; you control your own everything. You have yours and you control yours; we have ours and we control ours.

They don't call Chinatown in New York City or on the West Coast a segregated community, yet it's all Chinese. But the Chinese control it. Chinese voluntarily live there, they control it. They run it. They have their own schools. They control their own politics, control their own industry. And they don't feel like they're being made inferior because they have to live to themselves. They choose to live to themselves. They live there voluntarily. And they are doing for themselves in their community the same thing you do for yourself in your community. This makes them equal because they have what you have. But if they didn't have what you have, then they'd be controlled from your side; even though they would be on their side, they'd be controlled from your side by you.

So when we who follow the Honorable Elijah Muhammad say that we're for separation, it should be emphasized we're not for segregation; we're for separation. We want the same for ourselves as you have for yourselves. And when we get it, then it's possible to think more intelligently and to think in terms that are along peaceful lines. But a man who doesn't have what is his, he can never think always in terms that are along peaceful lines.

You are only recist if you are white.

That is modern equality.

Second gen immigrant, my dad came here with barely a quid in his pocket. Worked 3 jobs while my mum worked as a seamstress and i worked my ass off in school and uni to get where i am and we barely took a single quid from the state while doing it. So you can take your bias and bigotry and cram it up your ******* ass

Have a good day

I never had any help, I took a student loan, a maintenance loan and got a part time job.

Same.

Why is your situation relevant, why would you not want it to be easier for others?

 

[The Running Man]

Yes but based upon merit not only the colour of their skin.

Absolutely this.

Its not about it being easier. Surveyor, incorrectly, stated that this would allow them to take up places at uni.
There's nothing stopping them.
