Zing Tsjeng visits Oxford to examine the ongoing controversy as universities across the UK reckon with their unsavoury connections to colonialism. People like slave owners, slave traders and white supremacists have historic connections to some of the UK’s finest universities. They don’t put that bit in the prospectus, but it’s the truth.
Series:
Empires of Dirt is a show about Europeans getting rich at the expense of everyone else. VICE World News host Zing Tsjeng uncovers the ugly history of the European colonial empires they don’t teach us in schools. Countries around the world were looted for their treasures, people were oppressed and exploited and European powers relentlessly profited. The far-reaching repercussions of colonialism are all around us, from our financial institutions to the food we have in our cupboards at home - and it’s about time we took notice.

True you can pick any country or leader in the world and discover horrible fact. Its like the West is the only monster here. Dive into the arab slave trade its estimated that 14 million Africans were made slaves and many men was castrated. That insane, you never hear ANY criticism ( from the left) or we want retribution. I read an article about Tibetan society 100 years ago it was brutal, no love & light, we never kill a living being. And take Gandhi, look into his life, you will find things there that shocks you. The list goes on and on, because its just history of humanity, sex, money and power. No one is pure and innocent. So don't blame or erase history, learn from it and become better. Be the change you wanna see in the world.

I think context matters. For example in Bristol taking the statue down was appropriate because it was placed in such a way the it was like the whole city approved of and loved him and it wasn’t true any more. Whereas with the Rhodes one his scholarship still exists. In that case personally I think it’s more appropriate to have plaques explaining what he did in plain view. To take the staue down would be, I think, to pretend that the college wasn’t associated with him. Which is more insulting in my opinion.

@@lblackwood95 I am not in the least bit 'butt hurt' about anything. The British Empire was a remarkable achievement with enduring value. That wealthy men went on to endow a Uni such as Oxford - probably the best in the world - is to be welcomed and is very much an 'Empire Dividend'. The presenter is one of the ones who benefited from our top-class universities and had her education subsidised by British taxpayers such as me. If she had the power of her convictions she'd either hand her degree back or pay the full, unsubsidized cost of her education rather than displaying crass hypocrisy.

I mean a lot of European countries are thriving off of what they stole from the colonies for centuries while the colonies are now poor and are "third world countries". The British Empire has terrorised about one third of the entire globe but they get away with it and have never apologised for it so far. They should seriously return all the stolen artifacts and should pay a compensation for all the harm they've done to countries.

I think statues are not whats wrong with our society and the issues of the past. I think what we need to do is properly educate today's kids about slavery and colonisation and apart from talking about what good the big powerful men did also talk about the faults too. We do have to remember that we cannot change or erase our past, unfortunately these things happened and its best for us to acknowledge them and learn from it. Instead of taking the statues down, why don't we add more statues of people of colour and different ethnicity that brought good to our society.

@jackbrown8052 3 года назад

If the public is going to have a discussion about the slave trade, let's have a discussion. Were British citizens involved? Yes. If the government thinks that means statutes and other honors given these individuals should be taken away so be it. However, many others not from the UK were also involved in slavery so let's follow suit and also take away their honors. For instance Islam and its prophet Mohammad were involved in slavery. Islam was involved in slavery for over 1,000 years as it spread over the Middle East, Africa, Asia and Europe. Millions of people were killed and enslaved during the spread of Islam. Should the UK government therefore order the removal of anything associated with Islam? Should mosques be ordered shut? Should burqas and other Islamic coverings be banned because of their association with Islam? Should halal products be removed from stores? Should the UK stop trading with Muslim majority countries? Should the UK government stop sending all foreign aid to Muslim majority countries? Should the UK government stop immigration from Muslim majority countries?

@rainbowisticfarts 3 года назад

What? Islam was involved with slavery, that is true, but Islam does not ENCOURAGE slavery. Slavery will exist as long as humans do, Infact, treating a slave badly is a extremely huge sin, and the only compensation for that is freeing them. Infact it's written that the class of the slave and the owner should be the same. the same clothes, food and amount of work.
