'All white people are racist'
 
All white people are racist': Cambridge University probes head of equality group for saying white men, women and children 'can all get it’ as he heaps praise on London rioters in shocking Twitter outburst

Jason Osamede Okundaye posted tweets amid violent protests

The student head of Cambridge's equality group has claimed that 'all white people are racist' after praising rioters in Dalston who lit bonfires and hurled petrol bombs at police.

Jason Osamede Okundaye, who runs the Black and Minority Ethnic society at the elite institution, posted the shocking tweets amid violent protests in east London last night over the death of Rashan Charles.

He said that white people had 'colonised' Dalston and ordered them to 'go back' to areas such as Exeter and 'Solihurst' (sic).

Okundaye, 20, wrote to his thousands of Twitter followers: 'ALL white people are racist. White middle class, white working class, white men, white women, white gays, white children they can ALL geddit.'

The student at Cambridge's Pembroke College also claimed it was 'absolutely delicious' to watch 'middle-class white people despair over black people protesting in their colonised Dalston'.

A spokesman for the University said: 'The College is looking into this matter and will respond appropriately.'

I think this young lad should steer clear of alcohol and twitter, what a plank

What a ****ing idiot. :joker:

Dominic 29-07-2017 03:46 PM

I mean generalizing people of a certain race is racist itself so poor him.

lewis111 29-07-2017 04:04 PM

Kind of impossible seeing as no one is born racist - so white children can't be racist until they are exposed to racism and told that it what is right

Just a stupid way of trying to get a point across that belittles the actual moment to fight racism

Crimson Dynamo 29-07-2017 04:06 PM

coming for them white gays too

:omgno:

Oliver_W 29-07-2017 04:11 PM

sounds like the kind of idiot who thinks black people can't be racist toward white people.

lewis111 29-07-2017 04:12 PM

He must not have seen that a massive amount of the people protesting are white

TaylorCallum 29-07-2017 04:17 PM

He lowkey didn't lie. Obviously not everyone is consciously racist or deliberately discriminatory towards others because of their skin colour but we do live in a white privileged society and ethnic minorities are still oppressed today, so growing up in that sort of culture surely has some sort of impact on our psyche. I'm sure there's a little bit of subconscious racism in everyone.

So if a black man hates on a white person because they are white and the white person cannot help being white and the hate is irrational

What do you call that?

i am looking for a handy one word descriptor here

Prejudice? Discrimination? One of those.

Not racism because black people hold no power over white people in society. It's semantics really though I guess. Both are wrong.

or racism as its hating on a race

Crimson Dynamo 29-07-2017 04:55 PM

I am sure if I was living in say Chad and i was being picked on and insulted for being white and different I would probably thing "they are being racist"

I would not be having an entitlement debate with myself or googling "dear white people"

Minorities can be racist towards white people, get over it.

Racism - prejudice, discrimination, or antagonism directed against someone of a different race based on the belief that one's own race is superior.

It doesn't matter if they hold power or not, if someone is discriminatory to someone because of their race, it's racism.

Not really sure what you're ":umm2:" at? It's a fact. White people are at an advantage in society and ethnic minorities are at a disadvantage.

It's not racism. There's plenty of black and white idiots out there alike but you need to familiarise yourself with the context and history of the word racism.

Some people like to deny the obvious.

It is racism unless you have some sort of credentials to show me?

maybe a degree in expertism?

Do you know what "minority" means?

Oliver_W 29-07-2017 08:23 PM

The silly "Power+Prejudice" thing has stuck around way longer than it deserves.
