Red Deer Anti-Racism Rally Interrupted By Hate Groups,

[malleefarmer]

Bigwheel interesting comments.

A few years back i coached our local under 14 australian rules football team.

20 to a team.

About halfour team was indigenous. Also assistant coach innunder 17s again 8 indigenous.

Reallyeye opening for that two year stint on how they think and whats “ingrained” into them almost.

Remember one guy i was really fond of in under 17s his aim in life was to be a indigenous lawyer, for indigenous rights etc. I wannabe different than the rest. University bound basically free education forvthem at that level, govt sponsered.

Saw him maybe 5 maybe 6 years later asked him how it was etc, unemployed been in jail really really made me sad. What went wrong joel, had nonfriends if inwas gonna go white mans way.

So it was almost peer group pressure.

Pity he didntvrise against it. Must be hard for them.

There are lots of reasons why marginalized, racialized, and poor people end up in the criminal justice system more frequently. Racism is one of those reasons.

Several police chiefs have admitted that their is systemic racism in their force, including the RCMP Commisioner.

Several studies have identified that black and indigenous people are stopped more often, harassed and subject to police violence more often and die more often when police intervene.

Numerous cases of shooting and using unnecessary lethal force have come to the worlds attention through videos. How much more proof do you need before accepting it is a problem?

Yes all lives matter. And if all lives matter then black and indigenous people should be treated equally and not be subject to systemic racism and afraid if they get stopped by the police!

If you are stopped and not doing anything wrong do you get charged and put in jail? That’s the question that needs to be answered.
If your stopped and get charged and the charges are justified then what let someone go due to race now? Most of the things in the news had someone doing something wrong and were about to be arrested but didn’t want to be that’s when the trouble started then yes the police in some situations went to far. But most I ve seen if the resistance to arrest wasn’t happenning the other stuff wouldn’t have happenned either.

It’s not racism it’s a problem with politicians using race And in the end that supports bad behaviour leaving the rest of us unsure what to do including the police.

The problem is getting these people off drugs and rhe crime sprees that putt them in this situation.

Most of those stories on the news do not tell
The whole story either.

How does a police officer identify someone by race before he stops their car. 99% of stops are from behind. Can you identify the persons race in the car in front of you at a stop light?

There is always an initial infraction that leads the officer to look deeper at some ones record. I havent been stopped by a cop in 12 yrs. Havent had a ticket in 15. Its not that hard to avoid scrutiny by the police.

Neither of you jokers are black or First Nations I assume? So how do you know what their experiences of racism are? Try listening to what black and indigenous people say about their experiences! Instead of blaming them and denying there is an issue. Don’t you just love it when white people tell you there is no systemic racism against people of colour! Get your head out .........of the sand! LOL

Don't tell chuck first hand experience with natives. He says that your first hand experience doesn't speak for all natives across canada...It is still a natives opinion is it not? Yet his experience is the be all, end all. And it is first hand info straight from all natives across canada. He did a country tour to get this info don't ya know!

INDIGENOUS EXPERIENCES WITH RACISM AND ITS IMPACTS

[farmaholic]

Damn that canola market.

[chuckChuck]

Flea, you don't have to go anywhere to read about the issue and experiences of racism.

You fellas should "try" expanding your knowledge of the issue.

I posted a couple of things for you to read based in Canada just so you can figure out racism is a real issue even if you haven't experienced it yourself!

I know this is a hard thing for you to do seeing as how you have already decided it isn't an issue at all! LOL

[jazz]

Maybe we should start tackling racism in our leadership. We have one leader who donned blackface on multiple occasions, another who supports a sectarian movement in another country and another who believes in the primacy of french culture at the expense of the rest of the nation.

Good place to start.

Anyway here are some heroics from the BLM (cough antifa) protest last night. Please donate and show your support like chuck does.
