THE mother of a Cambridge student who said “all white people are racist” has told him off.

Civil servant Jennifer Okundaye said her son Jason, 20, “shouldn’t be tweeting things like that”.

Jennifer, 47, added: “Now he and the family are getting so much racist abuse on the internet.

“I have told him off and told him to remove these tweets. He should never have been doing it. He just was not thinking straight.”

Jason had the Twitter rant on Friday about riots in Dalston, East London, following the death of Rashan Charles after a police chase.

He also said watching middle-class white people despair over black people protesting was “delicious”.

He tweeted: "ALL white people are racist. White middle class, white working class, white men, white women, white gays, white children they can ALL geddit", reports the Daily Mail.

He also posted a meme under the heading "Me @ these rioters in Dalston" which read: "You're doing amazing, sweetie."

He also said white people had "colonised" Dalston telling them to go back to places including Exeter.

Cambridgeshire police said they were investigating the comments by Jason, who runs the university’s Black and Minority Ethnic society.

However, Jason Osamede Okundaye has claimed his comments were "taken out of context",

The student told Cambridge News: "My tweet about all white people being racist was pulled out of context and separate to my tweets in support of the Dalston protests.

"My tweets on white racism had been said before, in response to people acting as if racism is exclusive to working class people.

"I stated that regardless of sexuality, class, gender or age, all white people are racist i.e. not just one type of white person."

Cops told Cambridge News: "We are aware of these matters and they are in hand.

“I can confirm that police are investigating the incident at this time.”

Cambridge University has also confirmed it is investigating after calls for Okundaye to be suspended.

Masked rioters attacked cops with bottles and sparked fires in East London on Friday night following the death of Rashan Charles in police custody.

Furniture and rubbish were thrown across Kingsland Road in the East of the capital — while shocking footage showed bottles being thrown and bin fires raging.

Unrest kicked off after a protest following the death of Charles, 20, in police custody last Saturday - but police have said the two demonstrations were seperate.

Scotland Yard said officers saw the dad-of-one swallowing something as he was tackled by police in a shop in Dalston — near the scene of Friday's unrest.

His death is under investigation by the Independent Police Complaints Commission.

Scotland Yard said "a number of items including bottles" were thrown at officers attending a "planned protest" from 3.40pm on Friday, close to Middleton Road.

Businesses, bars and restaurants barricaded their doors as disorder continued into the evening.

One police officer sustained an injury to his eye during the protests and a member of the public was pushed from his bicycle.

Cops arrested a 17-year-old on on suspicion of GBH.

Detective Superintendent Claire Crawley, from Hackney Borough, said on Saturday: "The disorder of last night was separate from the peaceful protest at Stoke Newington Police Station that was held earlier that day.

"Thankfully, nobody was seriously injured, but there was inconvenience to local residents and road users and damage caused to vehicles, a cash machine and a number of windows.

"We will always support the right to lawful protest but behaviour such as that seen last night cannot be tolerated."

The IPCC said in a statement responding to the protest: "We understand the concerns raised following Rashan's death.

"We will independently examine the circumstances of this incident, we will follow the evidence, we will consider whether there is an indication there may have been misconduct or criminality, and we will seek to answer the questions that Rashan's family and the community of Hackney understandably have."
