Like what? Anyone? Canadians don’t know their history. They think American history is Canadian history. In fact, true Canadian history is being actively suppressed, because the ideologues can’t handle that slavery barely existed in pre-Confederation Canada, except among Northwest Coast Indigenous. They also don’t like that Canada was the safe haven at the end of the Underground Railroad. It’s important to the radical identity politics activists to maintain certain lies. Soon truth might be called “hate speech” and banned. Edited February 29 by Zeitgeist 1 Quote

There really is no need to celebrate a Black History Month because they never did anything to be recognized as far as i know. Do you have something to show me here as to why we are celebrating BHM? Just asking. So, when was this month declared that every month in Canada is a White History Month? I just hope that what i have been saying here does woke you up, lefty. 😁 People really do be coming on here saying stuff like "why should I learn about history when I don't know anything about history now?" wild, wild stuff.

Did i say something racist that bothered you? Pray tell me, will you, if you can? If you got my drift, i was just asking as to when will we ever see a day called White History Month? After all, it was the white folk that founded and settled North America, and not the blacks. So, just what have black people done to make Canada great? Just give me something instead of silly replies like this one? Go ahead, army boy, make your day. 😇 Yeah you never see statues of white people, see them on our money, learn about them in school, see them as subject of Heritage Moments, any of that stuff it's like crackers don't even exist.

The only reason it exists is because the American progressives have turned Black people into the epitome of the noble victim so progressives love to flex about how much they love Black people.

At least, none that has impacted Canada. I don't think there's any need. I'd argue that whether or not they have history that "impacted" Canada is a subjective question. Canadian History is pretty freaking boring after the War of 1812, with the only things I remember from then until WW1 being our independence. 13 hours ago, I am Groot said: And yet now the Ontario government has mandated that all schools have to teach Black history in grades 7, 8, and 10 "highlighting the various Black communities that emerged, developed and contributed to the development of Canada, including pre- and post-Confederation."

It sounds dopey, and you're probably right, but do we even know they're going to teach? Is there going to be like, 3 pages in a textbook on the underground railroad, or will they be devoting multiple chapters to the first female black woman in Canada to own her own sewing business, in lieu of talking about the Plains of Abraham? 🤔 Quote "A man is no more entitled to an opinion for which he cannot account than he does for a pint of beer for which he cannot pay" - Anonymous

The thing about this is there's absolutely no way you're asking this in good faith and literally any answer I give will be dismissed. No the better question is: why does it matter, why do you care and what's wrong with you that you get triggered seeing black people in commercials lol.

A member just posted that students in grades 7, 8 and 10 in Ontario have to learn something about black history. Is that not being forced to learn Black History Month? Why no learning about white history? Why, it is racism of course to do so. Show me as to why here in Canada White History Month cannot be celebrated? Who the hell founded North America in the first bloody place? Who else but white people. The one identifiable group whom are being suppressed and are being called racists these days. White people are all under attack and made fools of all over the world. Try being a white South African farmer where those white people are constantly under attacked and murdered by the blacks in South Africa. Fact check that? Quote

It was war. They were seen as being patriotic hero's in the south. It was only after their defeat many decades later who were later labeled as traitors by the lefties of today of course. 👎 Quote

There is nothing that i said here that can be seen as being racist. You cannot show me where i am really being racist? I just questioned something and buffoons like you want to see the racism in what i said. Why do left wing comrades like you always try and make everyone appear to be a racist because they have their own opinion? I can call you a racist just with your anti-white racist reply here. FOB. I am pretty sure that there are many so called rebels living in the south that can easily call and probably do call you a filthy degenerate confederate pos. The rebels lost the battle, and therefore, the name calling goes to the victor, comrade. You don't even know as to what the word patriotism really means, comrade. You chosen one comrades despise patriotism. The rebels fought for what they believed in. Don't forget that there were many black land owners that had and owned many black slaves, dingle pus. Those black slave owners were probably rebels also. Fact check it yourself, comrade. 😁 Quote
