The UCT council will meet with the Student Representative Council (SRC) next week to discuss various issues around heritage, including the removal of the statue. A student on Monday dumped human waste on the statue during a protest for transformation. |

| #1 Excerpt from Ozzie Saffa: Apparently it's a "colonist symbol of apartheid and White privilege”. Ooooohhh - big words for these IQ67's to use. And all in one sentence too. I'm super impressed. But that's not all. No sirree Bob: Students are concerned about the curriculum being racially institutionalised and the poor representation of black people and academics. I guess when you're dumber than a piece of turd, then anything scares you, even statues, and not to mention the White man's curriculum. But I agree - why let them learn from us, when they are vastly superior. I mean, when Jan van Riebeeck arrived in the Cape of Good Hope in 1652 a university of Cape Town already existed on every street corner, together with the tarred roads and the flying cars and electrified buses. Not to mention those libraries full of Xhosa and Zulu books! Speaking of turds, that's what the protesters did BTW - they threw faeces at the offending statue. Now that is IQ67 behaviour at its best. Here is the White privilege offending statue with the White man's university in the background [fotos at link]: And here is the university from further out - you can just make out the statue in the middle of the photo above the arch: So, if the statue is a symbol of White privilege and Apartheid, then isn't the university and buildings as well?? Why, just look at those white pillars of the great hall in the centre of the photo - if that doesn't scream White privilege and White superiority, then I don't know what does. So, I say, TEAR IT ALL DOWN, man. Give each IQ67 a hammer and make them smash it all to pieces. Every building, every classroom, every Liberal-infested inch - just tear it all down. And then give the land back to the Cecil John Rhodes Estate and go build your university of "learning" somewhere more tribal, to connect you with your vastly superior African roots. And please don't build the new university copying the White man's architecture. No, rather copy the architecture of the great Xhosa architects: |
