'Racism': White students banned from events during UK university's Black History Month

The University of Westminster's student union banning white students from attending some Black History Month events should be called what it is – which is racism, says author Douglas Murray.

“It just happens this time to be about racism against white people,” Mr Murray told Sky News host Rita Panahi.

"It’s a demonstration once again … of the weakness of the ideas of people who pump brown things like Black History Month, that they have to sort of protect it.

“And really what they’re doing is trying to protect themselves from any scrutiny or any inquiry.”

This is so very wrong it’s in fact heartbreaking. No one should be supporting this. 💔

This flagellation of the British people must end.

Europe is the homeland of white people. They are the indigenous people of those respective countries. And they should punish this insult harshly.

Teaching kids about racism by demonstrating the racism you say your upset about.

My daughter just graduated University of Santa Barbara. I was shocked at the graduation ceremony when I learned the University had three separate ceremonies. One for only black, 9ne only hispanics and one for whites and others. Imo that has the opposite effect of what believe it does.

Actually they need safe spaces from their OWN if the stats are true

They are happy to use the buildings and facilities though !

They want to preach to you about their "history" but they want to be the one to set the narrative.

I'm mixed race. Can I sit halfway in the door?

So sad. As human beings we have so much more in common than not but people still choose to focus on the colour of ones skin to cause division, the most superficial difference of them all.

[MrBoazhorribilis]

These students make a perfect argument that they are not bright enough to be there.
