Historian David Starkey has issued an apology after saying slavery was not genocide because there are 'so many damn blacks' still around

Starkey said the"misunderstanding of my words in no way reflects my views or practice on race", adding that he had"lived and worked happily and without conflict in multicultural London for almost 50 years".

"If that tradition is suppressed on questions of race, resentments will fester rather than disappear. Starkey resigned his honorary fellowship at Fitzwilliam College, Cambridge, after his comments came to light, while Canterbury Christ Church University terminated his role as visiting professor, saying his words were"completely unacceptable".

So he's thinks he can just pop those comments under the apology carpet. Nah! We've seen clearly in UK over the last 5 yrs what's able to creep out from underneath the mat and the dirt isn't nice!

If he would have said “so damn many” instead would it still be racist?

Too late.

After a long career he should get back what was taken after the apology. It won't happen because there is no room for redemption in cancel culture. That's why it's so evil and unfair. Meanwhile Professor 'White lives don't matter' still gets promoted at Cambridge, hypocrites.

🤬🤬🤬

NonApology consists of 15 words bleat about how much he has suffered, consists of 24 words
