While we literally 'look up' to white supremacists?... It's a nice ideal, but I just can't see it happening.

WHO "looks up to white supremists"?

Define and identify.

To keep tediously quoting Cecil Rhodes on every thread and making up false accusations concerning him, is to ignore ALL the many arguments and corroboration that Oxford University did NOT erect his statue as any kind of commemoration of his 'imperialism' but in recognition of their 'Lion's' share of the billion pounds he left as a charitable foundation to provide FREE education for poor students - INCLUDING BLACK STUDENTS FROM THE COLONIES.

I asked in that thread for anyone to name ONE super rich BLACK person who has donated anywhere near a billion pounds as any type of similar foundation but - predictably received no answers, so I will ask you here if you can provide an answer. Google is welcome.

"Of the 1,826 people who made it to the 2015 FORBES list of the World’s Billionaires, 11 of them are black."

... ... so there's always that to factor in, Kirk.

We as a collective nation not we as individuals.
I thought the comparison apt to the topic, not sure why your shouting.
As seen in the research Rhodes did not provide the assistance for black south African colonists, which was the point I was making in the other thread.
Whether or not there has been any 'super rich' black benefactors is as irrelevant here as it was on the other thread imo.
As I don't have any innate knowledge of history I do look to google, it's a valuable resource.
