London Students Want College to Drop ‘White Philosophers’
Breitbart ^ | January 9, 2017 | Liam Deacon

Posted on 01/09/2017 7:51:10 AM PST by C19fan

Students at a leading London college say the majority of philosophers studied there should be from Africa and Asia, and white thinkers should only be examined “from a critical standpoint” or in a “colonial context”.

The major should be renamed Chinese and Arabic Philosophy if one drops the Europeans.

A real brainstorm from the Snowflakes. After all, it’s all the other races who made important contributions in that field. (Real reason: Less material to study for finals.)

I am sure they will make an exception for Karl Marx.

Students should be directed to drop their ideas into a shredder marked “suggestions.”

The whole idea is to eliminate Western Civilization because it’s based on Judeo-Christian values, and replace it with atheistic materialism, after passing through izzllam.

African Philosophers? boy that would be a short course.

But at least it would offer an additional easy A to the delicate snow flakes taking worthless degrees.

> white thinkers should only be examined “from a critical standpoint” or in a “colonial context”.

Where do they get this idea? (rhetorical question) Of course they may study other philosophies, but will they apply the same “critical theory” to those? I doubt it.

Will the Science Department follow suit and ignore all discoveries made by white people?

If so, that would pretty much leave them with Chinese science. That might work, as the medieval Chinese were often quite clever. The Great Wall, fireworks, and all that.

Marx was a jew. Many jews deny that they are “white”. Therefore it’s likely Marx will stay.

Immanuel Kant was a real pissant who was very rarely stable,

Heidegger, Heidegger was a boozy beggar who could think you under the table,

David Hume could out-consume Schopenhauer and Hegel,

And Wittgenstein was a beery swine who was just as sloshed as Schlegel.

There’s nothing Nietzsche couldn’t teach ya ‘bout the turning of the wrist,
Socrates himself was permanently pissed...

John Stuart Mill, of his own free will, with half a pint of shandy was
particularly ill,

Plato, they say, could stick it away, half a crate of whiskey every day,

Aristotle, Aristotle was a beggar for the bottle,

Hobbes was fond of his dram,

And Rene Descartes was a drunken fart, “I drink therefore I am.”

Yes, Socrates himself is particularly missed;
A lovely little thinker but a bugger when he’s pissed.

The leftist tactic is to belittle, scorn and attack whoever offends their sensibilities or resists their agenda. And then when they react and stand up to this bullying, call them racists or some other pejorative. In this particular case, whites are perceived as having too much influence so the Left initiates a campaign to provoke, then label and demonize. The Left has been doing this for a long time. Its time we put an end to this little game.

Are there ANY African philosophers, even fourth-rate ones?

Even the most cracked of “post-racist” Millennials will eventually be forced to admit that savages are savages!!!! PHOOEY to them!!

And that whole math and physics junk is like so hard.
We should just like invent things to do that stuff for us.

I used to worry as an aging software engineer that I would be obsolete. But they always call me to clean up the messes.

They should require all students who are requesting these courses have their names publicized so I know who “not” to hire.
