Anger as white man is picked to look into Cambridge Uni's slavery links

Cambridge University has come under fire after appointing a white academic to oversee its study into the institution’s historic links with slavery.

But prominent equal rights campaigner Trevor Phillips said it was ‘bizarre’ that the university had not given the job to a black academic. Mr Phillips told the BBC: ‘It is bizarre that, if they are trying to send a signal about what they are like, they couldn’t find a black academic to lead this.‘That would have sent a great signal to the world that Cambridge understands that black folks are not just great entertainers or sportspeople, but that we can also be brainy.

Should it matter.. unless he is not qualified

There would also be 'anger' if a black man is picked. 🙄

Sick of all this vile racism against Whites. Perhaps that is because, most slave owners/traders, have been BLACK! WhitePeople, have a short history of owning slaves, & very few whites owned slaves, then they banned slavery, nearly bankrupting the UK in the process.

😱🙄

That’s a bit racist isn’t it?

what ever happened to best person for the job and equality of all?
