Watch Leftist Students Say Science Is Racist and Should Be Abolished

Students at the University of Cape Town in South Africa brought some interesting concerns before the science faculty this week: namely, they think science as it is currently understood must be abolished.

Essentially, these students believe that modern scientific understanding is too Eurocentric.

But according to the student, witchcraft is like Isaac Newton's theory of gravity—it's just one way of explaining the world, among many.

"Decolonising the science would mean doing away with it entirely and starting all over again to deal with how we respond to the environment and how we understand it," the student continued.

Basically what they’re saying is that truth is racist, reality is racist.

OMG. They reject science because virtually all the important scientific discoveries were made by people who were not black? Let them stop wasting their time in university, go out and buy drums and some beads. That's what their ancestors had, so it must be OK then.

Where there goes Charles Darwin. Don’t these students know that Genesis was written by “rednecks” to oppress people of color??? [/sarcasm]
