Black Lives Matter Toronto

[W. K. Lis]

Why would someone complain about the location? Because it's on a bright hillside in an amazing part of town?

Why do you spend so much time anticipating other peoples' 'evil' intentions, rather than looking for the bright side of life?

Some may not like that the park is in front of the old Don Jail. Where convicted prisoners were hanged.

BLM has a purpose in the USA.

In Canada they seem more like a bunch of shit disturbers.

Even in the US BLM is based on the false premise that only black people are victims of police brutality...

Sure.

I think BLM understands that the colour line fluctuates over time and is defined by whites to suit their own needs and interests. Hell, I can remember when Greeks and Italians in Toronto were suspect because they were deemed "swarthy", and not quite white enough.

Toronto BLM reps were invited to, and attended, the Dakota Access Pipeline protests recently, and BLMTO has worked with Aboriginals and Muslims (they're not all black ya know) and LGBTQ Asians and the disabled.

"Whites"? You should give your thermometer a shake before taking any readings.

"Black", "white", etc.?

In the centuries to come, all races will generically become one. From link.

Multiculturalism is the essence of modern society. It shouldn’t come as any surprise, then, that humans are expected to evolve into a single, ubiquitous ethnic group, should the mixing of the cultures continue. As miscegenation becomes commonplace, humans will slowly begin to lose the distinguishing features of their ethnicity, and instead take on characteristics from many different parts of the world. There’s one obvious benefit to all this: “race” will no longer be an issue.

One day, all humans shall be equal and all shall be treated as equal with equal privileges, equal opportunities, and equal rights.

Sounds like something Karl Marx would have said.

 

[Jasmine18]

Um there is more then race that divides people...

It was Martin Luther King, I think, so they killed him because he was too dangerous.

So you believe is a classes system of order.

Um, what? Is a what? Classes system? Is that a question?

 

[Admiral Beez]

Wait..... I think I get it.

Perhaps you're suggesting; "So you believe in a classless system of order?"

No.

Yea...but the bad news is that we will all be wearing unisex jumpsuits.

I really don't care, as long as I finally get my effing jetpack.
