Would it have been better if David Starkey said "So damn many blacks"
instead of "So many damn blacks"?

Anyway it's too late as he's resigned his fellowship. Good to see
someone like him is not going to be cowed by the thought police.

It's sad Cambridge University can't tolerate diversity in thought.

I bet they've been dying for a chance to get rid of him for a long time.
Their loss.

But it's worse than that... there are idiots about - including some at
that university - who complain that Starkey pointed out that slavery is
not genocide. They obviously "think" that it is.

But how on earth could slavery *be* genocide?

It'd be the most pointless slavery one could imagine. And, as it
happens, one that very obviously didn't happen.

Genocide is not a very efficient business model, I'd suggest. :-)

:-) I reckon that a funeral director's services would be regarded as
superfluous in this instance. You'd probably be more likely to look for
someone with a JCB.

Surely it's a form of racism for an ethinic group to falsely claim in the
media that another ethnic group committed geocide?

But welcomes, promotes, markets and encourages diversity in its
population.

There's a new expression being used in the Great Satan for areas which
are so full of diverse people that they're no longer diverse:
"majority minority areas"!

You simply can't make this shit up!

He should not have resigned but fought against any attempt at dismissal. RH

As Thomas Sowell said: "have we reached the ultimate stage of absurdity where some people are held responsible for things that happened before they were born, while other people are not held responsible for what they themselves are doing today?"
