bush_cheney2004 Posted August 17, 2014 Report Posted August 17, 2014 ... We, of course know that racist comments are the least of black folks worries. We don't have to be black to know that. Solve your own "racist" problems in Canada before graduating to being the liberal benefactor of "black folks" in America. Quote Economics trumps Virtue.
bush_cheney2004 Posted August 17, 2014 Report Posted August 17, 2014 Perhaps you can educate us. I certainly don't pretend to know what black folks need. But I am open to anything you can suggest. "Black folks" need the same things other people need...education, housing, employment, etc. Start by losing the racist labels and assumptions. Quote Economics trumps Virtue.
WestCoastRunner Posted August 17, 2014 Report Posted August 17, 2014 I never proposed to solve racist problems in America but when I see blatant issues, I have no problem speaking out about it. I'm not sure why you are trying to muzzle my support for rights of a teenager in Missouri. What exactly is it, that bothers you about this. You seem to really have an issue when white folks speak out in support of black folks, especially when it's canadians vs americans. I don't get your anger about this. Am I crossing the line because i'm a white canadian? Quote I love to see a young girl go out and grab the world by the lapels. Life's a bitch. You've got to go out and kick ass. - Maya Angelou
On Guard for Thee Posted August 17, 2014 Report Posted August 17, 2014 Solve your own "racist" problems in Canada before graduating to being the liberal benefactor of "black folks" in America. A lot of our early black population in Canada came north after you guys got rid of your hideous slavery. They knew better than think that the striking down of a law was going to change many redneck "minds" Quote
WestCoastRunner Posted August 17, 2014 Report Posted August 17, 2014 "Black folks" need the same things other people need...education, housing, employment, etc. Start by losing the racist labels and assumptions. I certainly agree with that. I have no assumptions and I have no belief in labels. I abhor labels. Quote I love to see a young girl go out and grab the world by the lapels. Life's a bitch.

eyeball Posted August 17, 2014 Report Posted August 17, 2014 More likely it is the resistance by police federations and unions....conservatives love unions...right ? No but unions love power too. Quote A government without public oversight is like a nuclear plant without lead shielding.

I don't get your anger about this. Am I crossing the line because i'm a white canadian? You can post whatever you wish, and it causes amusement over anger. I have no idea what "race" members are nor do I particularly care, finding the whole concept to be a dubious social construct of questionable value. I would think the American vs. Canadian experience would be far more relevant than "race". Historically, "black folks" in the U.S. have been used as pawns in a cynical "white folks" political game that labels all as "victims".

Why do you continue to put quotation marks around black folks. Are you afraid of the term African American? Quote

However, I am glad it causes you amusement rather than anger. In this thread, I was pointing out Ferguson being gunned down after he had 'surrendered'. You can think what you want about white canadians supporting a 'black' teenager. I would have done the same if this happened in Canada.

That you would not understand what I am talking about is exactly what I mean about Canadians (in general) not having the slightest clue about the wider topic. What was the "race" of the man (Sammy Yatim) shot on the Dundas streetcar ? Is his race important or not ? Do you know or care ?
