University of Cape Town Student Leader Wants to Scrap Science Because It’s Racist, Oppressive
HeatStreet ^ | October 16, 2016 | William Hicks

Students in South Africa are embroiled in a “Fees Must Fall” protest, aiming to lower tuition fees and “decolonize” the nation’s schools. These protests are offshoots of the “Rhodes Must Fall” movement which aimed to get names of colonialists off school buildings.

At a meeting with the University of Cape Town science faculty, one of these “fallists” took the movement further demanding science too must fall.

Fine with me if these idiots renounce all the advances "white" science has brought about and live in the mud huts cooking with dung your ancestors did for most of human history until the whites came with their science.

They should major in Mud Huts, with a Minor in Bush Meat.

Funny how everything in that room she’s in was invented by western science.

Math and science are hard. Best we scrap those things and go back to living in straw huts with mud floors because that’s only fair to the mentally challenged knuckleheads that seem to be infesting college campuses around the globe. Then again, perhaps we should just round up all of these snowflakes and put them into concentration camps or ghettos where they will be well fed and cared for and while also preventing them from breeding with the rest of us and polluting the gene pool.

Just a thought.

But, but, but! I understood everything was invented in Africa and then stolen by European whites. Was I misled all this time?

Hush up, squatting in the mud chewing on Uncle
Mombata’s thighbone is just as valid as anything else.

Unless you want people more than 30 yards away to know about it.

Then the argument is invalid.

Even the “science” of man made global warming is racist? Because global warming hits minorities hardest.

So science is part of White man’s oppressive structure? Insanity.

Funny video on this subject.

Zooms in on her picking up her handheld device to surf the internet or text someone after she's done with her rant.

Ignorant people often feel dissed by those who can understand math and science. Usually they're smart enough to keep quiet about it, but — as this video demonstrates — not always.

The veneer of civilization is pretty thin. They’d rather be back up in the trees. If it’s “racist” to say so, I don’t care.

As a child, my family had friends from Rhodesia that visited us every year. After the fall and his escape, I still remember when he asked me, “Do you know what we used to light our homes with before we had candles? Light Bulbs!”

Agree,

And to save tuition money, issue a Diploma in these degrees after one day of attendance.

Remove every technology invented and/or improved on by someone who was at least half-white and you’ll be left with sending messages by smoke signals and drums, eating bugs, and fighting wars with rocks and pointy sticks.

Remove every social value and moral held dear by the Western world and you’ll be back to the days of human sacrifices and so terrified of evil spirits behind every tree that you’re afraid to go outside at night.

They better look in the mirror.
Black men cannot run black nations on their own accord.

And we have had a alien zebra running America for the last 8 years?
Might help explain the 96 million unemployed that do not fall into the stats!

The author of this rant is a prime example of why women were not allowed to vote and people found mentally incompetent were promptly institutionalized and/or sterilized. Our founders and their successors and most of the general populace recognized that those who could not be counted on to have the mental capacity to understand, appreciate, and support the society that they’d bled and died for should not be allowed a voice in running it...or worse, to undermine it.

Now in the new, improved America we have unpaid prostitutes electing their sisters to government posts when they’re not busy keeping infanticide legal or spreading STD’s. And getting someone who is flat-out Alex Jones level INSANE committed practically requires an act of God, and even if you get them their padded room there’s an even chance the place will be closed by some well-meaning doofus.

Sadly, when you look at Sub-Saharan Africa, so many of those countries are majority black nations run by blacks. And so many are basket cases.

By definition, their problems can’t be racism, because these are black nations run by their native black people.

You wonder how many South Africans think things have improved in their country, since the end of apartheid.

It sounds to me that various anarchist Marxist types, rather than simply getting equal rights in South Africa, equal rights in a developed country, want to turn that country into another African basket case.

There’s strong evidence that South African whites who are able to do so, are quietly emigrating from South Africa, rather than stick around to be discriminated against in the new South Africa.
