The great irony here is, that huge numbers of learned black people throughout the world owe their education to Rhodes, because when he died, he left almost a billion US dollars by today's value, to found 'Rhodes Scolarships to provide education for poor students - most of which went to OXFORD UNIVERSITY to provide places at Oxford for students from the BRITISH COLONIES as well as Germany and the United States. |
So it's a case of biting the hand that feeds them.
Anyway Happy Christmas Kirk and all the best in 2016.
