View attachment 492688 ISABELLE JARVIS IS AN ACTIVE RACIST WHO WENT OUT OF HER WAY TO RALLY SUPPORT FOR THE EXPULSION OF A BLACK SA STUDENT FROM OXFORD UNIVERSITY. SHE DID NOT KNOW HIM. HE DID NOT AFFECT HER LIFE. SHE HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH OXFORD OR OXFORD UNIVERSITY. SHE BROUGHT SA POLITICS AND A 'WHITE' SA PERSONS OUTLOOK TO THE UK.
THERE WAS NO NEED FOR HER TO GET INVOLVED THIS.
By her actions she is perpetuating a situation that is already deeply entrenched with ongoing and escalating anger.
By her actions she has tried to wield power and control reflecting the politics of the country she lives in. This is the UK, not SA !!
I am not saying that the way he treated the waitress was right (obviously not)
but there was no need for this ferocious white French woman to get involved.
The situation is
highly complex and emotive.
To for forward we need understanding. The SA students concerned in this situation carry a lot of residual anger and life experience that no-one can understand until they have lived it. The young men should have been put in touch with people who can help nurture clarity and channel anger with intelligence. (maybe they were idk)
If anyone is genuinely interested in reading deeper into the subject of colonialism and imperialism from the perspective of a Caribbean / African person then I would suggest the writings of George Padmore.
BTW - I can't stand the language 'black' and 'white' in relation to people. Always have done, always will do. We are all brown. Some lighter than others, some darker than others.
Especially
@MojoDublin when she applies fake tan
