  1. What makes you think that she is privileged? https://profiles.ahrcdtp.csah.cam.ac.uk/directory/tatyana-seresin
  2. ’I also wanted to be part of efforts to positively transform the faculty, and was a member of both the Staff Student Decolonization Working Group and the Decolonize PhD Reading Group. Although I admire those involved in these groups, unfortunately I ultimately ended up feeling deeply pessimistic about the potential of making any real change in the faculty. We often got stuck on piecemeal, conciliatory, and even counterproductive demands, I think because anything more felt like an impossibility. For me, the final straw came when the AHRC DTP invited a Ghanaian scholar, Akosua Adomako Ampofo, to deliver its annual lecture. The talk Prof. Ampofo gave was a lucid and straightforward analysis of the way racism — and particularly anti-blackness and anti-African prejudice — function in academia. Yet in his introduction and moderation, the director of the DTP kept calling her talk controversial and provocative, adding that he couldn’t quite wrap his head around it. This method of veiling racism through a performance of faux humility and bumbling foolishness, which is something of a tradition among the British elite classes, served to undermine the simple and important point Prof. Ampofo was making. It was yet another example of the university appearing to take one step forward only to take two steps back. Taken in isolation, none of these incidents might seem dramatic enough to push me to leave the rare privilege of a fully-funded PhD position at what is theoretically one of the best universities in the world. Yet the ubiquity of such incidents is actually far more indicative of a suffocating and intellectually degraded environment than any single, spectacular event. I believe that the pervasive presence of racism at Cambridge damages and delegitimises the institution, and I do not want to participate in re-legitimising it by contributing my time, effort, and skills as a member of the university.’
  3. I was wondering whether her parents originally christened her Dave.
  4. Fucking hell Eric .. which branch of academia do you hold a seat on and where? I bet that both your dogs are blacker than Eddie.
  5. Probably a good thing for the rest of us that she'll spend her life being fucked to death by someone called Leroy or Jayden.. just imagine a teacher called Indiana trying to control a Class of ethnically correct cunts from Tower Hamlets
  6. Why do you have such black thoughts Eric?
  7. Surely golf balls being white is racist?
  8. I have never been able to speak to either of my granddads.
  9. We are his whole world Whither's .. have you ever noticed that almost all he ever talks about is other members of the corner? These days he doesn't even talk about beans or his little toy chopper. Sad lonely little cunt he is.
  10. Too thin and friendly looking for Eric.
  11. No .. it is you who is dreadful.
  12. Ape will be Crosse & Blackwell with you for this comment.
  13. I suppose that if it had been Grayson Perry they would have called it sky tv.
  14. No one ever says 39 and 1/3 inches do they?
  15. Billy I hate Decs. far more than you do, but what you are failing to realise is that he is of Southern Irish parentage and as such will have direct contact with Cloch na Blarnan, which means that he will have the last word.
  16. Billy you are suffering from L.W.S. .. Last Word Syndrome.
  17. Eristalis tenax is one of those cosmopolitan species .. it is a two winged "true" fly that mimics honeybees. Rather than coming back with these bad tempered responses could I suggest that you use google from time to time.
  18. Post one looks very much like a physical threat and post two a climbdown
  19. He gets into the landing gear bay of a plane that will cruise at an elevation of around 7 miles where temperatures are far below freezing and atmospheric pressure below that required to support human needs and takes a fucking packed lunch with him.
  20. I think that Billy's in trouble .. he keeps sending the same morse code message .. STENDEC
  21. Careful here Decco .. I have seen this cunt in person .. he is at least 6' 6" . 6' 6" around the waist that is.
