>University of London students are demanding that thinkers such as Plato, Aristotle, Voltaire, and Immanuel Kant be banned from the philosophy syllabus... because they are white. UK media quotes students from the University of London’s School of Oriental and African Studies (SOAS) as saying that “the majority of philosophers on our courses” should be from Africa and Asia.
>A statement from the students’ union added that banning white philosophers should be part of a wider campaign to “decolonize” the university and “address the structural and epistemological legacy of colonialism.”

Who cares, it's the fucking university of ORIENTAL and AFRICAN studies. Let them pay £9,000 a year for ooga booga.

this thread has already been made, if you bully us any further we will snap and it won't be pretty, so I suggest you close this thread now, or else!

I don't get the fuss over this. If it's the school of African studies why shouldn't they study Africans? Plenty of much more serious things to spend your time worrying about tbqh

I can kinda Understand the first part since they are wasting Nine grand a year to learn bout ching chongs and ooga boogas, But they can fuck off with the "decolonizing" shit if they don't like it piss off.

It's fucking SOAS man. It's literally a university for proud independent women of color, and posh totty who got BLACKED on their gap yah.

Because they pay £9000 a year and if they are foreign students even more. Universities are businesses. >Supply & Demand

it's a department in a university, not mandatory schooling for all our children. Presumably some people in Japan study English literature etc.
Jonathan Martinez
>“the majority of philosophers on our courses” should be from Africa and Asia.
Why?
Is it just some "they havent been represented enough historically so lets make up for it by overcompensating" shit?
Landon Barnes
good. they've always stolen the show away from such luminaries as m'basa-m'basa of the law "dey do dat" and fatwa al-afrika of the law "we do dis"
And while they're at it, can they remove the work of Boole, Frege, Church, and Hilbert from the college? Doing things with symbols is very anti African.
Josiah Edwards
Did you read the article? It's being ridiculed as "fashion" even within SOAS.

"School of Oriental and African Studies (SOAS)"
Brody Diaz
>School of Oriental and African Studies (SOAS) >philosophers should be from Africa and oriental Sounds reasonable. They will get finish their (((degree))) in one semester and be able to talk about 1 or 2 nigger philosophers nobody heard from. Like they even existed. Good thing is that nobody's going to hire them except for the same University.

China is colonising Africa, RIGHT NOW!
And they're bothered about white philosophisers that didn't even take part in any colonisation.

you realize oriental studies is very old and prestigious field right
Nathaniel Howard
You know someone is full of bullshit when they bring out epistemology.

Yeah, but you are an idiot if you think modern oriental studies are in any way similar to old school orientalism.

add Hölderlin to the idealists everyone should read him. At least his fiction

Literally no sane white would live in London of their own free will. Its been ghettoised beyond hope, and any borough remotely white is filled with self hating legitimate cuckolds raising their wife's fifty half cast sons who support their extinction and genocide. It's fucking depressing.

Oliver Sanders
>Oriental and African Studies
Chase Brooks
Both sides have a point.
It's the college of Oriental and African studies; not the entire university or the entire British educational system. Given the area of focus, it's fine to likewise focus on philosophers of the region.
That said, why not promote their demands in that context? Also the "wider campaign to decolonize the university" is silly. I can see how some the work of some writers/thinkers sprang from the mindset of "educating the savage" (Kipling comes to mind), but are we seriously going to make cast Plato and Aristotle in the same mold?
(Plus wasn't Voltaire rather anti-establishment as well as being anti-slave trade?)
Nicholas Morgan
isn't this racism? by very definition? shouldn't they be put in jail for life for this hateful attitude?

Samuel Martinez
Native londoner here. I live about half a mile from the hospital I was born in. Over the last 30 years my areas dropped from being 90% white British to about officially 45% but any fool can tell it's less. Most of those that are left are elderly. If you see a white face on the street nowadays they're usually talking Polish.
My folks moved out to North Lincolnshire a few years back. I'm tempted to sell up and join them. I could get a 4 bed detached for my one bed London flat.
But then I'd be leaving my home. Where I grew up. My history. I don't want to let them fucking win. Too many people cut and run. And that's precisely the problem.
When the time comes user, by all means let the bombs fall, but I think I'll go down with the ship.
Daniel Gray
Seriously FUCK whitey
Ryder James
>remove philosophers How about debunking them?
Ayden Wilson
Can anyone actually name a single African philosopher? Or are they going to say that niggers that were politically influential (like Nelson Mandela or something) were philosophers just to fill the gap?
Logan Baker
≡Russia Today≡
We need a symbol to denote Russian subversion. I think ≡ works best as it's similar to the three bars of the Russian flag.
Oliver Ramirez
>It is quite right to start off with learning the history and mythology of Ancient Greece so we have that covered but I would argue that one only needs to read Mythology, The Iliad, The Odyssey and The Histories before moving on to reading actual philosophic texts of The First Philosophers: The Presocratics and the Sophists & the complete works of Plato and Aristotle

We have had the same asinine requests at our universities to remove all white philosophy (and science). Which is all fine and dandy, but this is a culture that didn't invent the wheel or have a written language. Never mind philosophers.

I guess that makes the course pretty easy. No textbook, no lectures, no content, no tests. It's just one big chimpout and you get graded by what you can burn, destroy or pillage. Extra credits for raping.

This is why students today will end up swinging from the trees instead of knowing anything worthwhile. The UK's political correctness is watering down our education. It's time to preserve tradition and take higher thoughts and higher education underground I think.
> Like Plato had to with his academy
Asher Johnson
The ironic thing is concepts like oppression human rights and decolonization were created by white philosophers
Benjamin Fisher
if they ditch the white thinkers, what will they have left teach? Gibsmedatologian ethics? Thus spoke Jaqueesha? Beyond KFC and watermelon? Being and Crime?
Jeremiah Martinez
No it isn't, this is what happens when you embrace cultural Marxism
Logan Martin
this is SOAS, literally the most liberal school in London, full of muzzies, feminists and shitskins. The entrance requirements are incredibly low.
To lump them in with real universities like UCL, Imperial and LSE is an insult. There is no "university of london", we have many different separate colleges that aren't really connected.
