| BBC Helps ‘Black Studies' Prof Claim the West is ‘Built on Racism' and Call for Black ‘Revolution' Unchallenged |
| 2018-07-09 |
| [Breitbart] BBC Newsnight has given a self-styled ’black radical’ free rein to insist that the West is "built on racism" and black people should unite to secure reparations and stage a "revolution". Kehinde Andrews, who was appointed Britain’s first ever professor of ’black studies’ at the publicly-funded Birmingham City University, was invited to the publicly-funded broadcaster’s flagship news programme to speak to Emily Maitlis about his new book, Back to Black: Retelling Black Radicalism for the 21st Century. The academic appears to be a favourite of the media giant, having also been filmed for a BBC 3 segment in which he argued the English flag should be scrapped ‐ in part because he believes the English were "flying this flag during the Crusades, and going around through Muslim countries trying to convert them" ‐ just last month, and for another Newsnight segment in which he argued British sports stars should "take a knee or clench a fist" during the British national anthem" because the country’s flag represents "oppression" last October. |

| #8 I would actually pay to send these revolutionaries on a one-way trip to Wakanda if they promised to give up American citizenship. Or they can just shut up. |

| #6 To be honest you probably have to call for revolution and overthrowing the man to get tenure these days. |

| #5 He hasn't notice there is a revolution going on, just not with 'his' people. |

| #4 JQC, how about this guy is a spoiled baby who never learned a limits to "I want", because he grew up in a culture who rewards passion - not achievement. |

| #3 I've got a feeling the call for revolution is more about reparations than revolution. Either that or this guy is a self-loathing black and wants to destroy the black race which is racist since most revolutions don't end too well. Black professors protesting from the academic lectern is kind of cheeky and expected these days with the lefty crowd. |

| #1 Would love to see a White male studies department show that African culture makes people poor and women and men choose differently and this explains any earnings gaps. OH and all on the taxpayer. |
