Oh God! Fouron was asked if she was the nanny!... Do you want to know what I was asked over the years, Fouron? She is so closeminded.

one thing i ve noticed about today s society is a particle of dust falls and people are triggered. whether it be a word or the level of melanin or even gravel. the difference with the past is once upon a time we were raised to reason our emotions!.

I was in my office (I am a white older man) and my boss came in and sat at a table to do some work before heading off to continue the running of the company. A client came to my office to discuss something and I introduced my boss to her before leaving. The reaction was polite but it was obvious that she assumed that I was the boss of this black woman and not the other way around.

Okay Fouron, tell the police to cease stopping black drug dealers. And Fouron, take a look at the Quebec hip-hop programs on TV where one invariably sees: Guns, violence, clueless sycophantic women, violent lyrics, boom-booms disguises as music.

Attacking the police! How disgudting, how insulting for the Police, targeting the police, no empathy or compassion for our police officers. Pathetiic.

Was that the man who was stopped by police and showed a driver license from Cameroon? Oh dear....

[infotrad]

The police act the same way with both whites and blacks. When it is with whites--it's a case of police brutality, for example; when it's with blacks--it's a case of racial profiling/racism. Granted I find that the the police have an aggresive attitude, unlike that in Britain, if I may say, but this applies to everyone.

Hallucinant de voir 2 anglophones dire que les questions linguistiques ne sont plus importantes tout en parlant de l'importance de préserver la diversité. Cenant d'un francophone, les questions linguistiques ne sont absolument pas du passé et la pluspart des francophones sont plus que jamais frustrés par cette assimilation qui persiste toujours!! Sortez de Westmount.

So why are the mothers (more likely the grand mothers) giving The Talk then? 11:17

Did the guy in the background sign a release? Bit of an intrusion of this internet show staged in a deli where people eat … expecting some privacy ?

"Denying Systemic Racism 'Is Insulting'" < I wholeheartedly agree. To continue to evolve socially, it may be best to shed our propensities to reward and to protect ideas and acts of hate. As things are currently in Québec, we lack a government whose members possess the strength and humanity that can aid its leader and members to shed their blinders towards acts which are at their root examples of systemic racism.

« Nier le racisme systémique est une insulte » < Je suis tout à fait d’accord. Pour continuer à évoluer socialement, il serait peut-être préférable d’abandonner notre propension à récompenser et à protéger les idées et les actes de haine. Dans l'état actuel des choses au Québec, il nous manque un gouvernement qui a la force et l'humanité qui peuvent aider le chef de notre gouvernement et ses membres à se défaire de ce qui les aveugle face à des actes qui sont à la base des exemples de racisme systémique.
