14 black male students in Cambridge

Help!!!!

14 black male students in Cambridge posed for a picture, the intended message:

"Young black men don't grow up thinking they'll make it here. They should."

http://www.bbc.com/news/uk-39787690

All or at least most of the students are from Africa.
You look at the African Americans & the crap they have to put up with. Not from racist/fascist/white supremacist/KKK/white privilege but from liberal/SJW's/white feminists/white apologists. They are constantly being told that the system is against them that white people have an advantage over them etc. Strange how Asians & Africans in America can beat the system. Keep telling someone they will never make it & they stop trying. The focus should be on encouraging the African Americans to put in the hard work to get better education & clean up their neighbourhoods.
The following 2 videos really show the idiocy that African Americans have to put up with

Is there not an American Cambridge as well?

I am not sure what your point is.
Why do you think they are African rather than British?
What has any of it got to do with African Americans?

Must have been the racist/fascist/white supremacist/KKK/white privilege who set up this, then?

"Cambridge is one of 27 universities that are currently members of the Race Equality Charter (REC) - a scheme designed to address the representation of staff and students from ethnic minority backgrounds."

Indeed there is, in Boston but the article is about Cambridge University in England so therefore the entire OP is just plain unconnected to the article.

It's just your average rant of a fellow who blames all their failures and struggles on 'libtards' and 'cucks' and other such nonsense.

I wouldn't read to much into it, not worth wasting the brain matter on

Saw the interview this morning with some of them & they were African.
Africans & Asians in America do better academically than African American & better in life in terms of employment etc. My point being is it because African Americans are constantly being told by liberals that they wont make it because of the system so have they just given up?

The deck is unbelievably stacked against black people in America, and if you can't see that you are deluded.

Really?? The ones that work hard or have talent seem to do OK for themselves.

Depends on The State etc. Yes being black has disadvantages in some parts, but mostly its best applicant gets job, or best student gets the reward no matter what colour, religion or even gender.

Of course they're exceptions but they are in minority. Unless things have changed hugely from when I lived there 10-11 years ago, which I doubt

Yes well done.....My point was why is it that Africans can do well in education but African Americans dont do as well.

True. Don't they realise that 99.999999% of white people will never make it there either?

It might be a bit more complicated. My guess is that Africans that go to the US and do well tend to be from Nigeria and are from their middle class. So they are kind of a self selected group of people that probably had doctors etc as parents so of course these people are likely to do well.

But yeah there is definitely a political narrative being pushed to make it look like whitey is keeping the black man down which avoids asking awkward questions.

I remember when After Hours used to be about relevant Irish stuff.

It's all that American drama binging on the Sky box isn't it?

I think the black people in Cambridge are being shoehorned into some kind of argument about African Americans. Not sure if the OP has really thought this one through...

Can someone please just tell me what I'm outraged about?

This is the point I'm trying to make, why is it that Asians & Africans can overcome a system that the African Americans are being told is racist?

I mean, look at Nelson Mandela. If the liberals told him he couldn't follow his dreams, he'd never have become president of South Africa.

It's all just middle class white people wanting to virtue signal for social cachet. There's a fcuking epidemic of it in western society. Louise O'Neill posted recently after she seen Moonlight and said that it was good to see a film about black people as it wasn't just white people that have stories to tell. These people are as dumb as you can get but yet they think they are profound and progressive. Arsehats the whole lot of them.

But what has that to do with England?

Your OP would make some sense if you were comparing the levels of black men from England getting into university versus black men from Africa or comparing black Americans getting into US universities versus black Africans but conflating the two is a bit stupid frankly.

Yes but its the same with any African American who works hard or has talent, they overcome the so called barriers.

OK, so we have 14 Africans get into one of the top universities in the world. In the USA Africans & Asians do well academically & career wise but African Americans seem to struggle. Is it because they are being constantly told that the system doesnt work for them??

These two facts are unrelated


Saying roddy collins used manage Cambridge United is more relevant??
At least it's in the same country?

Yes, it's statistically highly unlikely but the black kid child born into poverty could potentially achieve just as much as a wealthy white kid who doesn't need to work hard and has no discernible talent! Equality FTW!

Still don't know what this has to do with 14 Black Students in Cambridge mind!

14 Africans getting into a college with a student population of 19,000 just shows how lazy African-Americans are, amiright!!!

Unrelated?? OK maybe its a little early in the day for you so I'll try again.
Forget about the logistics
You have black people from 2 different continents & the ones on the poorest do better in education than the ones on possibly the richest one.
Why is that??

But why is it that Asians & Africans who move to America do much better?? Not all come from wealthy backgrounds

Is that what you're really seeing there when you look at that article? What is the socio-economic status of the couple of black people in that picture compared to the socio-economic status of the average African-American.
