    Good to see the president of the @OxfordUnion has resigned. Now time to ask deeper questions about the centuries-long culture that enabled this horror. My column in today’s @guardianhttps://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2019/nov/19/manhandling-blind-man-oxford-union-racism …

        Excuse my ignorance but shouldn't there be some sort of police enquiry? I mean they practically assaulted the poor guy?

        Great article @afuahirsh! We, the black people are like the Speckled hen that gets pecked at on every occasion. It will be years before we are treated as equals; for racialised views are deeply held, passing down from one generation to the next...
