What if instead the consensus is that you can’t back your views with evidence and your views are unfounded and simplistic?

These words are now accepted in every day lexicon. Here are their meanings. Anti racism: if you are not anti racist, then you are a racist. In order to not be racist, you must be anti racist. To be anti racist, you must accept that white people have white privilege. An anti racist must recognize all non white people face systemic racism. An anti racist must go against Martin Luther King 's dream and not judge people by the contract of their character but must " see someone's colour" because otherwise you discredit their struggle and barriers they face. To be an anti racist, you must see non whites as marginalized victims, if not, you are racist. White Privilege: Any success a white person has, or any achievement they completed, is illegitimate. The white person benefited from a system designed to ensure their success. This applies to each and every white person regardless of their individual circumstances. This phenomenon exists in every system, policy, rule, in all aspects of society. There is no meritocracy. ALL White people are oppressors and all non whites are oppressed by racist whites. Health care: abortion is health care. The termination of a fetus is health care. Unborn baby murdering is health care. Typically this applies to health care for the birthing person, not the dead baby. Violence: this applies to feelings and to a difference of opinion. If someone says something that I don't agree with, this is violence. Equity: take people, divide them into groups based on a single variable, race, then take (often government) action to ensure all of the groups have the same performance outcome. If the white group outperforms another group, this is evidence of systemic racism and white privilege. If the top performing group is non white (black ) at a rate of 99%, for example, basketball, track, etc. then there is equity. If the white group is in the middle, say income earnings, then there is systemic racism and white privilege because there is only equity when white people are at the bottom. It is critical to only applying a single variable to the equity outcomes and other considerations like effort, natural skills, personality, emotional intelligence, and values NEVER be applied to an equity lens. Systemic racism: evil, invisible forces that work to keep white people at the top in Al aspects of life and to keep all non white people down. This is commonly espoused by wealthy, successful white people. It does not account for statistical evidence that demonstrably proves white people are not at the top of income earners, athletics, and do not have the lowest incarceration rates. However, these invisible forces are Clever and exist everywhere despite the highest laws in the land and Diversity Officers everywhere. Mathematics: a tool used in the systemic racist institution to maintain white privilege. Although whites statistically are not the most proficient in math, it is a means of white oppression. Mother: a mother is an antiquated notion of a birthing person. A " female" is not the only gender who can give birth. Cultural Appropriation: this is when white people demonstrate respect and admiration for traits, activities, expression for another group. For example, rapping, cooking Asian food, wearing Indigenous clothing. This is offensive and racist. White people need to see and recognize non whites as special, marginalized, and victims but CANNOT share in the activities of other groups. It is noteworthy that using electricity, driving cars, flying on airplanes, using a computer is NOT cultural appropriation. Anti Black Racism: is the scientific evidence based use of data to demonstrate systemic racism against Black people. Any disparity between black performance and white performance is evidence of anti black racism. One core element of anti black racism is to only control for a single variable, race. The effectiveness of anti black racism is to attribute any negative disparity to racism and never behavior or other factors. Anti black racism is evident by black people being disporportionately reflected in school suspensions, negative TTC interactions, negative police interactions, and incarceration rates. It is important to never compare black rates to other racial groups, only whites, as the disparity might indicate racism is not a factor. Another key factor is to only consider anti black racism when there is a negative disparity. Representation in fields in which the disparity favours black people are to be ignored and an anti racist must accept the existence of anti black racism or they are racist. White fragility: this is white people not accepting that they are evil, oppressors and their resistance to the truth. By the way, all of the above are being taught to kids every day in schools all across the country.

Yes you do. You're obviously very invested in this. He started the war and you're spending all of your energy apologizing for him and blaming everyone but him for what's going on. The fact that you've spared not a single breath criticizing the guy who started the war in your clown-world interpretation of events is a pretty clear indication of how you actually feel about all of it. What you're feeling here is cognitive dissonance. You thought Putin was a stronk leader and was going to rid the world of wokeness and bring back the macho to men. Instead, he's proven himself a delusional muppet and you're the guy trying to square it all up.

Ukraine. Finland, Croatia, Bosnia, even Ireland, there were others too. There were a lot of reasons that people with complex histories calculated that their enemy’s enemy was preferable and cooperated with Germany during WW2. To claim that they were all Nazis then is a massive oversimplification and to claim that if they were Nazis back then some 80yrs ago then they must still be Nazis now is simply idiotic. Especially since the only country that’s actually governing like a Nazi with brutal oppression and invading neighbours is Russia.

It's not a "pic", it's evidence of just how fascist our gov't actually is. Inconvenient for some ?

Charles Lindbergh was a known Nazi Sympathizer, but the Spirit of St. Louis is still in the Smithsonian.

And throughout this entire process, why is it that once babies are born there is only 3 genders (male/ female, or born with both genitals) that are produced 99.9 % of the time. According to science or medical professionals. Science has decided depending on the genitals you were born with, that is your gender. you can't just say one day I'm a fire truck and my pronouns are it and bit. or the latest fad here in NB is high school students dressing up as cats and identifying as cats, so much so that they asked the school to put in litter boxes. young adults about to hit the cruel world with 2 strikes already against them, please tell me would you hire a person dressed up as a cat.

I don't have to ask, but the person wants you to name one policy or law that we have currently have that is racist, designed benefit white people only. I say that becasue in the past there was defiantly examples of systematic racism. And perhaps we have learned from the past and have corrected those mistakes.

A particular radical ideological interpretation of social conditions, basically the Marxist Critical Race Theory of Derek Bell, infiltrated the institutions of higher learning, government, corporations, and finally elementary schools, especially since the death of George Floyd. Fascinating that we eradicated prayer and spirituality from public education and installed Marxism, except instead of workers being the virtuous oppressed, it’s now certain racial groups. Your identity is primarily determined by your race in this world view. You can be highly successful and respected, but if you’re Black you’re a victim. You can be poor, mistreated, disrespected, and even disabled, but if you’re white you are first and foremost an oppressor. It’s a sad deterministic outlook that doesn’t believe in individual initiative or freedom. What’s important is knowing how you are racialized rather than what you individually build. There are other victim intersectionalities, and this outlook pretends to claim that one’s victimhood is the sum total of intersectionalities. Point systems are now used in EDI (Equity, Diversity, Inclusivity) HR hiring policies. A gay black female Jew gets a high rating, while a white male is ranked at the bottom. Parenting, wealth, and aptitude don’t come into it. Presumably credentials for a position do (education and experience), but HR is under tremendous pressure to sacrifice merit to build representation. It doesn’t matter if the community was more white 20 years ago when these job candidates were in university, it’s all about the present. This is our reality today. Organizations are literally run by ideological tyrants known as “equity officers” or some other Orwellian trope. I’ve basically supported affirmative action in the sense of if two people are equally qualified for a position but one is from an underrepresented group, hire the underrepresented, but that’s not what’s going on. Racism in any form is wrong. Judging people by the colour of their skin rather than the content of their character is always wrong. Of course!

Lefties are cray cray.. To be anti racist one must be racist against white people

Dr. Peter McCullough has been banned from Twitter for holding unacceptable views on the safety and efficacy of the vaccine.

Bill Ayers is probably held in very high regard among the majority of leftists. A domestic terrorist is an icon, pretty sad. It doesn't say much for Obama's judgement does it.

88% of Canadians who die of covid now are multi-vaxed. Only 86% of Canadians are vaxed.

Ah, at last we have SOMETHING. Even if it is, as usual, just statistics. But expecting identical outcomes from groups with different cultural traits is a mug's game. There are never identical outcomes between groups. Different groups are different! So let's look at just the first one. Black Canadians make less annual income than non-racialized Canadians, both for new immigrants and third-generation Canadians. Now this is a clever bit of parsing. Notice how it ONLY compares black Canadians to white Canadians. Why do that? Why not compare them to other minority groups? Because that wouldn't support the message. Because it turns out Black Canadians earn less than other visible minority groups, as well. Why? And the answer is: it's complicated. Almost all Black Canadians are new immigrants and their kids. Most Black immigrants came here as either refugees or with fairly low skilled but needed jobs as live-in housekeepers and child-care or personal support workers. Or came in as family of the above. Low income and no connections means poor. What about their kids? That depends on how much of a culture of education their parents possess. Most black families are from the Caribbean, are single parent families, and most of those are headed by unskilled women. African immigrants are comparative latecomers. If you compare the earnings of people from Nigeria to those from Haiti or Jamaica the Nigerians come out way ahead. Parents tend to be married and they ensure their children get good educations. So like I said, it's complicated, and this is not evidence of any racial discrimination. I could do the same for all the other statistics but it would be a very long post. So no. Mere statistics are not evidence of systemic racism.

No...it makes me grounded in reality. When laws are made to satisfy less than 1% of the population, and happen to rub against my senses (IE...I see an Adam's Apple and know George is a male) then George can expect I'll call him "him" and to hell with "silly crap". Dress or no dress. Reality...its not just for breakfast anymore.

It started with simple bleating about having to pay for it. As for the angst from having to suffer bleeding hearts...conservatives everywhere in the universe get that. Cry me a river.

And that's the one question they will not even attempt to answer. "RACISM" has been turned into a club. Like the accusation of "NAZI", these Libbies have nothing but accusations up their sleeves and apparently...even less in their heads.

Who’s doing the hating? Who’s hating the immigrants? Who’s hating the homosexuals? Who’s hating the transgendered? Who’s taking away reproductive choices? Who’s trying to impose their religion on others? And boo hoo, the people you’re attacking hate you for it. Yeah. Duh.

Are you speaking about me? This is a forum to discuss political issues. Yet it seems even asking for an example of something causes the hackles of certain people to rise to the point all they can do is fulminate and issue sanctimonious proclamations about the suspected motivation of whoever dares question them. It is like certain policy beliefs have reached the level of religious devotion among some people, and anyone daring to even question - not even disagree - but just question them or ask for evidence is committing blasphemy.

I'd say so. I can't think of any other policy that's overtly racist at this point. Can you?

Conversely, 30,000 Canadians volunteered to fight in Viet-Nam.

There were MANY draft dodgers from the Viet-Nam war. In BC there were numerous pop-up towns full of them.

The stupid things you say today become part of history. You're always on the wrong side of it, that's why you're actually "the pimple on the ass of society". EG, you supported vax-Naziism, and now that you know the vax is a flop, you're trying to weasel out of it by pretending that you were/are a 'live and let live' guy. When you say "I wasn't a vax-Nazi, I supported people's right to informed consent" that's an example of you trying to get on the right side of history. Now ya know.

If the Democrats lose the House that will be nice, but if the Republicans take both the House and the Senate that's a big thing. Maybe America can start to get back on its feet again like it did following Obama's loss of House and Senate. House and Senate is possible too. Races that were earlier thought to be in the bag for Dems are tightening.

Not Staliny enough for you, hey? Did you cheer at the time?

I didn't say "den of Nazis". Gawd why do you people insist on making shit up? I said...they USED a Neo-Nazi brigade. A brigade both Canada and the USA were leary of, not more than a few years ago.

Yes... the skin colour means we are responsible for Liberal policy of residential schools. Because lumping all white people together based on the characteristic of their skin colour isn't racist... it's anti racist ?

Indignant white guys demanding what evidence is there to support Canada being 'systemically racist'?

Okay. I will ask an indigenous woman to tell me how no taxes, free education, every company in Canada dreaming of having that hiring box ticked, and so many programs available about systemic racism. Name a law or policy in Canada in 2022 that is racist.

Ah, a DiAngelo fan. How woke of you. ?

Oh no. Hundreds of angry conscripts who got caught trying to run away. Your war over the NATO reject is now escalating. The stupidity is strong with you. I hope it's not genetic.

The offensive isn't Kyiv, it's kicking Russian butt in the occupied territories. What Russia is doing now is terrorism, not a military offensive and it is just pissing off Ukrainians even more than they are already.

The only systemic racism that exists now is affirmative action which gives people jobs based on the colour of their skin

Residential schools? In 2022? What a poor factless argument. You are someone who Google's and takes the top hit as your answer with no depth or context or investigation. " Google told me so...." What percentage of the population today in 2022 can claim residential schools impact their life today? Let's talk 2022. Let's use data. Where is the data to show disparity that can be attributed to systemic Racism? Stats please. History is history.

? You don't need anyone here to explain it to you. If you actually wanted the evidence you'd just type "Examples of Systemic Racism" in Canada. The first thing that will pop up is the residential school system. This thread is just another place for you to rant about the "others" and about how downtrodden all us poor white people are.

Great question. 1. The Charter of Rights makes discrimination illegal. 2. Each province has their own human rights code so federally and provincially there is no systemic racism as it explicitly illegal 3. In 2022, there are no laws or rules or policies that are racist The media, the government, and social justice warriors are like Ghostbusters looking for invisible racism. It doesn't exist. When it does "exist " it is a hoax like Subban and the muscle flexing that ruined someone's life. Can anyone radical left wing Ghostbuster name a single law in Canada in 2022 as racist? Employment- Asians outearn whites... significantly. Look at third generation Japanese and Korean males. A third generation Korean makes 1.54 to a white dollar Incarnation...Asians are 20% of population but 6% of incarcerated rate. The only systemic racism is in favor of indigenous and black people. Black business programs Black housing programs University entrance programs to make it earlier for black students That's the only systemic racism in Canada.

I am unequivocally against fascism. That would mean I am against mobs just like Antifa which happen to behave exactly like fascists. Your assertion that the Antifa/BLM riots were mostly peaceful is pretty misleading when you consider the enormous amount of damages they they caused all over the country. BLM riot damages 'worst in history' totalling over $2 BILLION | The Post Millennial | thepostmillennial.com BLM's 'Mostly Peaceful' Riots Cost 1000x More in Damage Than Jan. 6 Capitol Unrest (westernjournal.com) I condemn the violence on Jan 6, but in that case most of them were actually acting peacefully. The one's that did riot have to pay the price. I still have yet to see any clip of Trump actually telling people to engage in violence. Telling the crowd to "throw the bum out" at one of his rallies is not an incitement to violence. This is more in the way of inciting violence:

Hey, one's a job. The other is just a hobby.

in fairness, DND does an absolutely pathetic job of communicating with the public DND is highly secretive, trying hide what it is doing from Canadians, keeping everything close to the vest then the Canadian media trashes the military constantly, only focusing only on any scandals they can gin up then the government itself has now declared the military to be an inherently "racist misogynist" institution then they wonder why they can't fill the ranks with recruits

And? If multiple seatbelts rip when you are in an accident you'd likely have a recall on the vehicle... Plus a very dumb analogy. I have never been fired for not wearing a seatbelt. I can take a seatbelt off when I'm not driving a vehicle. I don't have to show that I wore a seatbelt on my way to the restaurant to eat there. I'm not forced to take weeks off work for not wearing a seatbelt.

Cite?

A leftist now surprisingly coming to the defense of Big Harma. Interesting.

LOL That's an understatement. Believe me, they're not laughing at him. They're terrified of him. His name is on the patent. That's why they're trying to silence and discredit him.

Oh! Last year you all said they were killing people.

Pfizer farms out some of its research to Harvard and Baylor. If Harvard and Baylor don't "toe the line" and deny that any treatment for covid exists other than these experimental inoculations (which don't work) they lose all that grant and research money. Duh. Malone is an "antivaxxer"? ? The man who invented mRNA vaccines????? ? You really are a ?.

What right wing pundits? No such thing in Canada. They are banned by the one-party Liberal-CRTC.

The US certainly did...Korea comes to mind.

You are indeed a war monger playing with nuclear fire. It's amusing that you think you'll survive a large thermonuclear explosion. If I didn't have to die in the process it'd be fun to see you try.

Ottawa hyper liberals just are not used to anyone disagreeing with them,
