    Most of you agree racism is bad. Correct?

    Then here is some reading so you can enlighten yourself on what systemic racism looks like in Canada.

    Five charts that show what systemic racism looks like in Canada

    https://www.ctvnews.ca/canada/five-charts-that-show-what-systemic-racism-looks-like-in-canada-1.4970352 https://www.ctvnews.ca/canada/five-charts-that-show-what-systemic-racism-looks-like-in-canada-1.4970352


    Here are some highlights:

    "The most recent census data from 2016 shows that Black Canadians face far steeper economic challenges than white Canadians and other racial groups. For example, Black Canadians make significantly less money than non-racialized Canadians regardless of how long their families have lived in Canada."

    As part of her research, Davis studied the impact on violence in youth communities in Toronto and Jamaica. The most profound finding, she said, was how strongly Black youth in Toronto pushed back against the idea that the greatest violence they had faced in their communities was physical violence.

    “They insisted that the most sustained, daily violence was the violence of the education system. It was teachers who did not believe in them, who stereotyped them, who over-disciplined and over-punished them, who constructed possibilities for them that were different from the possibilities for other children.”

    When it comes to hate crimes in Canada, Black people are far more likely than any other racial group to be victims of hate crimes, according to statistics from the Canadian Centre for Justice and Community Safety.

    Canada is often celebrated as a multicultural nation, but Davis said that doesn’t mean racism isn’t a present and pervasive force here.

    “It’s difficult for Canadians to hold in their minds at the same time this idea, this fervent belief, that they live in a democratic and even a multicultural society, and that racism can exist in that same society. When they see acts of racism like George Floyd’s death, they’re convinced that racism is perpetuated by only a few individuals or bad apples, but it’s not widespread,” she said.

    “We have to acknowledge that racism can look like hate, it can look like what happened to George Floyd, but that’s only one way it shows up. It shows up in apathy, in silence, in ignorance, in the refusal to really learn.

    "The reality is that racism is expressed not just as conscious acts of hate or violence, but it’s far more complex than that. It evolves out of a set of deeply rooted systems in our country. So deeply rooted that it might be easy to miss.”

    You are ignoring the issue and facts. Black people are several more times likely to be stopped and harassed by the police. They are also more likely to die at the hands of the police in cases like George Floyd. All lives matter is motherhood and apple pie. Focus on the real issue which is systemic racism against indigenous and black people. Suggesting that we need to focus on “all lives matter” is just your way of denying there is a problem.
    Chuck how about you intervene in one of those black lives matter protests, or better yet spend a week in jail with some of our finest citizens who you must think don’t belong in jail and then tell me what you think.

    Well most political leaders and police chiefs across the country say that systemic racism is real and a problem. So I think that horse has left the barn. Take a look at the facts on police brutality against black and indigenous people and the way people are treated before you tell us systemic racism is not real!
    Time to admit that there is systemic racism against white farmers .... it’s blatant in your face chuck
    The are scoping farmers yards and fields specifically and then stealing trucks
    That is systemic racism.....

    Many police chiefs and leaders have said yes systemic racism is real.

    There are certainly racist views within many different groups. But the issue is the overwhelming negative effects when it comes to first nations and black people. As a white person can you identify negative racist impacts to you personally? I can not. Most white people go through life with no experience of discrimination or racism.

    Big Wheel you are a fair minded knowledgeable person so why cant you accept what most people know to be true?
    “Systemic racism” the new catchprase of the leftard movement

    Police chiefs are saying this because if they don’t they get canned and if they don’t we ll end up with less police because all these people locked up really shouldn t be be locked up right? The country side will be full of these angels running around stabbing robbing and murdering the rest of us.

    Systemic means that a racial group is treated differently by police services as a group. More unjustified stops, suspicion when nothing happened, very aggressive treatment or death when deescalation might have been a better option. It’s institutional racism. That is practiced repeatedly in a systemic way.
    Then go bring this crap up on a police chat forum ffs
    Get this crap off the Ag marketing site
    Your being incredibly antagonist trying to goad good posters here . It’s sickening already

    Is it systemic racism on the part of the cops? Or is it the individual taking it too far and forcing the cops to use force?

    When I get stopped by a cop, I am polite to them and I get my ticket and life goes on. I got caught, and I get the punishment. I don’t get out of my vehicle and take off my coat and get in threatening karate poses and swear and bitch at the cops. What do you think will happen in that situation? The cop will give you a gold star for behaviour? No, the takedown on chief Adam was his own individual doing, not systemic racism.

    Chuckles needs to go have a beer at the Jolly Roger pub in Regina some evening, he’d be learned all about systemic racism in a hurry.

    And yes the chuckle is still blocked.
