The arrogance and deviousness of people who speak like this: “What we see on a daily basis is that the education system, along with the child welfare system, and along with the criminal justice system, the police, are all in collusion. And they all rally around each other, to support each other, while our children are being abused.” The reality is their children are performing less well on average because they don’t take responsibility for their failures, such as single-parent homes and too few committed fathers.
Interesting article. In all this anti-racism training, there's no mention of Asian Canadians. They do better than any other group in the public school system. Why is this? If there is ongoing systemic racism, why are South Korean and Chinese Canadians the highest earning groups in Canada, and other Asian Canadians not far behind? Asian groups were discriminated against in the past, with the head tax, labour exploitation, and an outright ban on Asian immigration between 1923 and 1947 "The Exclusion Act,", plus the Japanese Canadian internment. If I were to mention this in a Kojo training session, what would be the response?
You could add a few more ethnic groups that, like the Orientals, are goal orientated, ambitious and non complainers and make contributions to the adoptive countries. Unlike Kojo and those like her, do not play the race card and trade on the color of their skin.
If you compared Income within groups of people with similar IQ scores there are few discrepancies. Countries with advanced Western Economies value Intelligence. There is no reason to expect that people from different groups would have the same incomes.
An excellent article James that exposes the truth in our society of convoluted values. Your question of, "why do we allow non-white people to speak to us this way" goes to the very heart of our culture. Being Canadian is, "always having to say you are sorry". Simply put, we are the nice guys and nice guys finish last. A country built on fairness and equity is easy prey for predatory opportunists profiteering on the sale of poison and hatred. I am in complete agreement that, "Canada should cancel all Antiracism and Diversity, Equity and Inclusion (DEI) initiatives and training". I would also go a bit further and suggest that it should be branded as, "hate speech".

Never mentioned because it is tabooed from ever being spoken about in polite company are the twin adversities faced by low achieving black people: dysfunctional family life and a 10-point IQ gap.
If you compare differences in income within groups of people with the same IQ Scores (i.e. 70-80, 80-90, 90-100, 100-110) there are no racial differences. In nations with advanced Western Economies people with higher IQs and higher levels of education earn more.

GOT THAT ... it's fairly easy for most to understand.
.
Google 'Average IQ by country' and take a look at the scores for the North African countries currently invading France and Italy. Note that a minimum score of 85 is necessary to attain Literacy ... See the problem ???
A lot of the reasons IQ's are low in North Africa is due to poor nutrition, lack of protein in the diet, and all the different illnesses and diseases a child may catch in those countries, which hinders development. The culture would also have some impact. Countries with the highest IQ scores 2023: Japan is #1, followed by Taiwan, Singapore, Hong Kong and China, South Korea and for some reason Belarus is #7, then Finland.

And this is pretty much exactly the same moaning indigenous Canadians use.

Not fragile at all, James! Good work.

Europeans were never wandering around Africa taking Slaves. Other Blacks did that and transported them to the coasts where they were sold by Muslims.
.
The taking of Slaves was very common world-wide prior to 1800. It was Great Britain that brought that practice to an end.

Differences in nutrition have been shown to have as much as a 6-point to 10-point difference in IQ scores, not 20-points or 30-points.
.
Religion is often a factor, the likely reason being that Muslim populations in the Middle East do not mix easily with Christian populations in Europe.
.
Don't accept my word on this, verify it for yourself.
