Seems a nice guy that Mr Hume, can't think why BAME students would not want to bask in his glory while studying for their degrees.
The passage, from Essays, Moral, Political and Literary, reads: 'I am apt to suspect the Negroes to be naturally inferior to the Whites.
'There never was a civilized nation of any other complexion than white, nor even any individual eminent either in action or speculation.
'No ingenious manufacturer amongst them, no arts, no sciences.
'On the other hand, the most rude and barbarous of the Whites, such as the ancient German, the present Tartars, still have something eminent about them, in their valor, form of government, or some other particular.
'Such a uniform and constant difference could not happen in so many countries and ages, if nature had not made an original distinction betwixt these breeds of men.
'Not to mention our colonies, there are Negro slaves dispersed all over Europe, of whom none ever discovered any symptoms of ingenuity; though low people, without education, will start up amongst us, and distinguish themselves in every profession.
'In Jamaica, indeed, they talk of one Negro as a man of parts and learning; but it is likely he is admired for slender accomplishments, like a parrot who speaks a few words plainly.'
Also why are the under 2000 signatories classed as "activists"? It seems to be a new tactic to tar anyone who supports BLM or lawyers who hold to hold the Govt to account on Human Rights legislation as being activists.
