The woke war on the past reaches historic proportions.
After canceling most people who lived in the last two centuries for not being sufficiently accepting of the current dogma, woke academia has turned its attention to the distant past.
After accusing Isaac Newton and Robert Burns of being complicit in slavery, the British woke war on the past has gone bigger. Edinburgh University had already renamed David Hume Tower after Black Lives Matter activists accused the philosopher, born in 1711, of racism. The Sir Francis Drake Primary School had to change its name and William Gladstone is next.
But even when you get rid of every famous Englishman, Scotsman, Irishman and Welshman, there’s no escaping the fact that it’s just a bunch of white people. As Mary Rambaran-Olm, an Afro-Indo Caribbean academic who decided to study medieval English literature, complained, the “field has traditionally been represented by white people and unsurprisingly still attracts mostly white students due to the field’s inherent whiteness.”
There are no complaints that black studies is too black, attracts black students and is represented by black people due to the field’s inherent blackness, but you can’t have the study of Irishness get too Irish, Welshness get too Welsh or England get too English.
The English, after being accused of colonizing the world, stand charged with colonizing the study of medieval England by the woke academics who want to ‘decolonise it’. Much like the decolonization of other parts of the world, the academic euphemism for ethnic cleansing, means getting rid of all the English. Or at least all the ones with the skin tone common on the isles.

It was a long walk from Africa to England in the 1300’s.
“And South Africa is too black...”
And before 1994 it was too white, then the blacks run off their property by other blacks began taking over and in 1999 took power and started running the whites out. Now South Africa is a sh#t hole just like nearly every other African country.

And that goes for Renaissance Europe, the Roman Empire, ancient Greece...
Denver 108 Miami 95 last night....lesson completed. Denver leads 3-1 in games and can wrap it up at home on monday night.
We have no place to run, no place to hide.
If Medieval England was “too white”, that means there was no slavery. Isn’t that what the blacks want? My God lady, make up your mind!
So...They want to un-white history. So stupid.
“Every record has been destroyed or falsified, every book rewritten, every picture has been repainted, every statue and street building has been renamed, every date has been altered. And the process is continuing day by day and minute by minute. History has stopped. Nothing exists except an endless present in which the Party is always right.”
― George Orwell, 1984
