Controversial Cambridge University fellow sparks another race row after claiming 'black people would only be famous for sports and entertainment' in a meritocracy and says Harvard would 'have no black professors'



A fellow at the University of Cambridge has sparked controversy again after claiming that the idea of equality between races is a 'thesis based on lies' and there would be no black professors at Harvard if admission was based on merit alone.

Nathan Cofnas, a college research fellow in the Faculty of Philosophy, published the online blog post on Monday in which he discussed how to 'build a better world' by convincing others of his beliefs.

Mr Cofnas this week claimed that if top education institutions were to judge applicants only on merit, then Harvard's faculty would contain no black professors, and that 'blacks would disappear' from almost all high-profile positions.
He wrote: 'In a meritocracy, Harvard faculty would be recruited from the best of the best students, which means the number of black professors would approach 0 percent.

'Blacks would disappear from almost all high-profile positions outside of sports and entertainment.'

Later in his post, Mr Cofnas added: 'Whites are the ones who brought blacks out of Africa and created the conditions where they failed to develop a culture of homework, respect for the law, and strong nuclear families.'
