Student rep sparks outrage after vowing to tear down a 'mural of white men' honouring those [tr]

The president of a university students' union has been criticised for saying a mural in memory of First World War soldiers should be 'painted over' because it displays only 'white men'.

Emily Dawes, the head of the University of Southampton Students' Union, provoked outrage when she referred to the university's Rotherstein Mural as a 'mural of white men' and called for it to be taken down.

She tweeted: 'Mark my words - we're taking down the mural of white men in the uni Senate room, even if I have to paint over it myself.'

Both she and the students' union have since apologised for her comments after she was accused of abusing the free speech the soldiers fought and died to protect.

Miss Dawes sure can mimic the Social Justice Warrior platitudes. Whether she has an independent thought in her shriveled mind is a different question.

Ms. Dawes, good luck getting a decent job after you graduate. No employer with any brains will want you.

“She tweeted: ‘Mark my words - we’re taking down the mural of white men in the uni Senate room, even if I have to paint over it myself.’ “

Cross out “white men” and write in “Jews”, and you start to see where all this is going.

The Left and their political part are now anti-White. There’s no way around it.

The Neo-marxist ideology of identity politics and white power is now part of their ideological foundation. It can’t be removed, or the Democrat Party would crumble.

Maybe she and young Mr. Hogg can hook up. They seem like they’d be a good couple.

Third-wave feminism must be destroyed, if it takes a bloody war to do it. Because if we don’t, they will destroy civilization.

How many women have died in the defense of England and English liberties in the past five centuries, compared with how many men?

When the totals are equal, then we can start putting women in the murals.

I’d put the Iron Lady in a mural.

Wouldn’t you? :-)

Very scary.

got to love revisionists..

But as a solution. Why not do a SECOND mural honoring the vets that served and make it more inclusive and reflect ALL of the various UK soldiers, Black, Indian, Asians, etc?

Good point.
There were a LOT of soldiers of colour kicking kraut ass.

You do *NOT* want to mess with the Gurkhas, period.

For now it's white men in particular. The white women will be after the white men will be made to heel and be subservient to all others in American society.

The left is completely gone mentally. Apparently history is so abhorrent to them that none of them has bothered reading it. Who do they think gave most of our advances in technology, science, and medicine throughout history? Yep; mostly white men. The non white men were busy building mud huts during that time to give their multi-wives and 30 children a roof at night. To their credit they did have a high sperm count and libido. Of course so do certain breeds of animals but who's comparing?

Gotta wonder if the witch trials were started by something similar ending in the burning’s at the stake.

It wasn’t just men cheering for their deaths. Other women were there too. Maybe feminism is so toxic that normal women can’t stand it either. It hurts all women equally.

Dividing the two sexes (yes; just two) using feminazi messaging is a lose lose endeavor for everyone.

I hadn’t realized at first, but this U is in the UK. Seems the left is the same all over the world.

There were also many soldiers of all sorts of colors fighting on the german’s side.

(the whole Ottoman empire and a few African countries)
