    No surrendering to the Woke Mob. Those students who came to Oxford on a Rhodes Scholarship and want to tear down the statute renounce your award and go home or study elsewhere . From across the Pond .

      Don't you know that in these modern times that to honour anyone with integrity who genuinely loves the people they represent and acts out of selflessness is heresy? There's more likelihood they'll erect a statue to the founder of BLM who spent over one million dollars buying a property (with the money she skimmed off of donations to 'the cause') in a rich white neighbourhood where there are literally only TWO black families.

      @@wolfiestreet6899 You are wrong and ResCyn is correct. Oriel College came to this conclusion after the results of a survey sent to 1400 alumni in which many of them said that they were going to stop donations and rescind their bequeaths from their wills. Without these funds the college will not have enough money to continue and certainly not enough funds to continue the scholarships, for black students btw, set up by Cecil Rhodes. So, right conclusion for the wrong reason but let's celebrate it as a 'result'.

    Well as a former South African, they closed down the Rhodes Memorial in Cape Town and took down a statue of his in Kimberly. So it is not out of the question that we are partially to blame for Rhodes erasure in history, but I also think Calvin is right in that a lot of British wokesters would have been offended regardless because of his super imperialistic contributions to the empire.
    Edit: Also, fun fact about Rhodes, he was gay. Just another thing that shows how little these people know about history. I'm willing to bet they would change their stance immediately if they knew that fact.
