Ginger slaves were worth 1/10th the African slaves because the King of England gave them away almost free to get rid of the Irish and Scottish children of the slain parent's fathers; the women slaves were sent to the Middle East Harems and never seen again. Fun morbid fact: the reason there are descendants of Slaves in America is that they did not castrate their slaves as the East sailing ships did; the life expectancy was 3 years after brutal castration; 1 out 10 died within 24 hours. The rest died slowly over three years. Also, in America, anyone could get a permit to own slaves, no matter their skin colour. Black-owned white slaves as well. Bonus morbid fact: Trans children are castrated and sterile like the other slaves of the world. Just let that sink in.
Cue the orange shirt day ....First Nation's Day on June 21st.... and our school district's February Pro-D day was all strictly a First Nation's ONLY learning day...if I had a dollar for every time the presenter and others brought up the word colonization, I would be rich...
To the commentators above, I want to first clarify that I am (Mrs.) Marni M. Alexander, the white widow of the late Honorable Lincoln Alexander. Lincoln’s life and legacy serve as a testament to the belief that the color of one's skin should not dictate one's potential. Lincoln firmly believed that every individual, regardless of race, is capable of achieving their highest potential through hard work and dedication to serving humanity.
He never sought special treatment; instead, he emphasized the importance of putting in the effort and contributing positively to the community. Lincoln's vision extended to all races, religions, and lifestyles, recognizing that everyone deserves acknowledgment for their sincere efforts.
In his inaugural speech in Parliament, he made it clear that he did not want to be viewed solely as a representative of the Black community. Rather, he urged people to evaluate individuals based on the quality of their thoughts and actions, not the color of their skin. If we understand Black history as a vital part of Canada’s narrative, we must focus on the potential for progress that lies within each individual, rather than limiting ourselves to the notion that success requires special treatment.
Moreover, when discussing social issues, it is crucial to back claims with credible sources. For instance, while it may be stated here that "over 70% of Black children in America are raised by single mothers, often with limited education," such assertions should be accompanied by verifiable proof. This approach not only enhances credibility but also elevates the discourse beyond mere alarmism, instead setting an example and allowing for a more constructive conversation about challenges and opportunities that exist for all people
Excellent comments. As a descendant of Canadian blacks from the 19th century (receipts here: https://www.amazon.ca/Black-Then-Blacks-Montreal-1780s-1880s/dp/0773527362) in Montreal I seriously resent this importation of American race grievance into Canada, by black Caribbean and American activists.
I think its ok to be proud of one's heritage (I am) but it becomes a problem when identity politics infuses that pride.
And as you say, today, most of these activists, being Marxist in practice (if not name), act with their goal of stirring resentment and creating a legion of people with victim Mindsets as followers.
Its ugly, socially poisonous (done on purpose) and it needs to stop.
Yes true. But where IS that money, and who provides it?
It sounds like its chicken and egg thing, where the activists whine and use emotional manipulation tactics to impart guilt to 'white folx' politicos, who then throw money at them to shut them up (or politely stated, aid them in their brave efforts to stop 'systemic racism', etc), then with that money they can scream louder and with more reach.
It would appear the only way to stop it to get some actual leaders with balls who can stand up to the emotional manipulation and call it out for what it is.
Absolutely, few politicians can stand up to the "emotional manipulation" and guilt-tripping. In my view it is all based on the spoken or unspoken ACCUSATION that the person or the group they are in or represent is MORALLY BAD--and this mere accusation has an incredibly powerful leverage effect on humans. The only way out--the challenge--is to be "morally free," to rise above the accusation. So you just have to resort to core truths. In fact, no one is so guilty they are dis-worthy--and no one is such a paragon of virtue they are morally superior. Indeed--if anyone WAS morally pure, they would not and could not accuse another of moral fault: what truly good person would willingly cast another as less worthy??
Is that the $64,000 question?!? One can only take the high-road oneself --and keeping a sense of humour helps. But also--precedent setting lawsuits to reduce the woke control of society, and other quasi-legal avenues such as monitoring the CBC and going to their ombudsman.
Thanks. I have considered writing Ombuds before, but have not done so as I have seen poor results from others who have attempted. It seems the incompetence and corruption at the CBC to from bottom to top and back again. But I might reconsider. Thx.

Black history month is an orgy “of telling black kids they’re oppressed and they need shortcuts and handouts.”
Pandering to one race in schools and ignoring all others is madness.
And they call this “inclusion.”

well-stated...but as long as there's money in it, there will be people lining up to cash-in -- human nature!
Yes true. But where IS that money, and who provides it?

I agree 100% with you.

Indeed--if anyone WAS morally pure, they would not and could not accuse another of moral fault: what truly good person would willingly cast another as less worthy??
Any thoughts om how we can encourage (or develop) more public figures to resist emotional manipulation and state the truth?

DEI is racist and toxic.
Double posting because it should not be lost.
