David Starkey forced to resign from Cambridge college over 'damn blacks' slavery comments

The celebrity historian Dr David Starkey’s career lies in ruins, with him set to lose all his academic titles and book deals, after he made comments about slavery in which he referred to “damn blacks”.

Good.

Rathenau, Dolfuss, Scruton, now Starkey! Will no Lord or MP stand up for the principles of Samuel Johnson & Alexander Pope + demand total free speech be restored here? Nothing less will remedy the rot? Stuck with May’s Mess & (Lin) Homer’s Odyssey?

The vicious left were clearly out to ‘get’ Starkey. I watched the interview and heard nothing racist. Starkey merely pointed out that genocide ( mass murder) did not take place.

naushabah_khan Doesn’t this raise questions about the BBC’s Moral Maze programme chaired by Michael Burke on which Starkey stars with a largely right wing panel?

Just imagine in the future when they have complete power, and can move on from just cancelling you from your job. Off to the concentration camp you go!

Comments both racist and disturbed...good riddance to bad rubbish.

WTF is happening in Cambridge?!? LOL

Superb news

David Starkey may not be the most diplomatic in his language - but he is definitely not a racist. We ban freedom of speech at our peril.

Well done to Grimes for taking him out. Hope he does Farage next.

About time - he’s been obnoxious for years; worse still, deliberately obnoxious; even worse still, he’s been allowed to be so, gifted a platform time and time again by BBC and others. Should have been binned off years ago - along with several others of his ilk. Good riddance.

That's how he speaks, he's old school. People have misjudged this, he didn't mean it how he said it.

I'd count it as a blessing, who wants to be associated with the shitshow that is modern academia?!

he should know by now that all white men have to speak with 100% respect when talking abt black people, u can insult anyone else but not them, theyre special.

Racist
