The only real difference between 2020 and 1620 is the racist peasant mobs & plantation owners think being able to press buttons on a shiny electronic device means they're advanced, civilized, superior. Monkeys on typewriters.......JB, yeah 🙂

@shadihamid What is she wrong about, exactly? C'mon, put up or STFU 🙂

I was wrong about Robin DiAngelo. I started reading White Fragility and I'm starting to think she has a point

for the record, robin diangelo, its not actually that complicated at all....its school yard politics at its core meaning psychologically immature people promoting hatred violence and deluisional beliefs bc it soothes their insecurities about themselves.

What is the nature of white people's capacity to deny the reality of racism? medium.com/age-of-awarene…

Is @patagonia's 'Vote The Assholes Out' tag real? Yes. Is it new? Apparently not. Is it still awesome and exactly the right sentiment. YES! mashable.com/article/patago… #ProtectTheArctic

When you take an oath of citizenship in the USA you pledge allegiance to the flag which represents the country & constitution. you dont pledge allegiance to a president or a political party, but to the country. if you dont understand what that means you need a refresher course

example of white fragility tactic #2 from the globe and mail

@humanistphilos1 im sorry if i sounded confrontational. i also have a deep respect for indigenous traditions of all peoples and i think all of us including myself would benefit from learning more about their ways. art is the only thing that really makes any sense 🙂🙂

@humanistphilos1 well, i mean, "pagan" is historically an insulting descriptor used by colonizers to defame the indigenous populations they were seeking to colonize. it seems to me that honoring a people includes taking time to learn their own words for their ways of life and not the colonizer's

and ignorance about what "systemic" and "racism" mean. thats the luxury of being a white man in canada; the ability to exist in a fantasy world of some never-realized era of white innocence.

aaaand stockwell day goes in for white fragility tactic #1 in a classic move of denial

@colibrimancino @gregorythickett @MrTruthForTheF1 @Teesside03 @Reuters ...and no one says anything about him doing it so why are you picking on me?

@colibrimancino @gregorythickett @MrTruthForTheF1 @Teesside03 @Reuters It's White Fragility Tactic #8 which is: attempt to deflect by making a false parallel with another historical group unrelated to your country. Its like when you tell a pedophile raping children is bad and they say "but Prince Andrew does it"......

Barbados says it will remove Britain’s Queen Elizabeth as its head of state and become a republic reut.rs/33OoIun

CDN racism is systemic to profound depths in Canada - the country's institutions have been controlled by a very vocally racist white majority for its entire existence (all 150 years of it) so the fact that it hides systemic racism through institutionalized practices is typical
