University of Cambridge to investigate links to slavery

Yale president Peter Salovey said at the time:"The decision to change a college's name is not one we take lightly, but John C Calhoun's legacy as a white supremacist and a national leader who passionately promoted slavery as a 'positive good' fundamentally conflicts with Yale's mission and values."

Britain abolished the trans-Atlantic slave trade in 1807 although the full abolition of slavery did not follow for another generation. "We cannot change the past, but nor should we seek to hide from it. I hope this process will help the University understand and acknowledge its role during that dark phase of human history."

What a waste of money and resources.

Nice, now the Democrates are going to Demonstrate how to investigate yourself.

Can we expect the Italians, Egyptians and any other culture which has at some time being the dominant force on the planet to begin investigations into their slave dealing? Probably not, but virtue signal away boys.

The Barbary Slave Trade?

☑It's Academic investigating the 15th-19th century SlaveTrade to which African_Chiefs were also linked. ☑It's Futile judging 15th-19th standards by the 21st century standards. ☑It is Worth every effort combating ModernSlavery which is incompatible with modern standards.

Reparations won't solve a mental health issue.

Another self hating witch hunt 🙄

Stupid waste of time and resources

I look forward post Brexit to the University giving a huge amount of free scholarship places to commonwealth students on the basis of compensation for the past

That'll lead to plenty of positive outcomes. I want to investigate the French because of their role in 1066 and all that. Could be legals involved here.

only the 'good' bits of British history for the gammons. Otherwise, fragile little mites that they are, how will they feel 'good' about themselves?

Every race/ethnicity on earth has been subject to slavery at some point in history, so what this basically implies is that black people have no agency and need white liberal patronage in order to function.
