Truckers convoy

[SRV]

An estimated 15 million to 26 million people participated in the 2020 Black Lives Matter protests in the United States, making it one of the largest movements in the country's history. It comprised many views and a broad array of demands but they centered on criminal justice reform.

Black Lives Matter (BLM) is a decentralized political and social movement that seeks to highlight racism, discrimination, and inequality experienced by black people. When its supporters come together, they do so primarily to protest incidents of police brutality and racially motivated violence against black people.

Well, they are going to be awfully busy if they start giving just a tiny bit of coverage of all the blacks killed by blacks.

Nice to see an occasional member of the community willing to finally speak out about some of the real things that are the problem.

I guess I will have to let him speak as anyone saying the same thing from outside the community is automatically labelled as a racist by people like you. Of course, you will call him an Uncle Tom.

Not going to wade into this too far but nearly all violence against blacks is committed by other blacks.

What I like most about the Emergency Measures approach the coalition of leaders has taken, is the 'Firm but Fair' treatment of the arrested protester's and those about to be arrested and all those in the future that will be arrested for public disobedience and illegally blocking the rights of other citizens.

The right thing is being done at the right time.

Unbelievable.

Ok that’s hilarious

I believe they prefer African American as opposed to 'black', as it is a 'white' coined term. FYI

Lots of violent acts don’t result in arrest. Doesn’t mean they didn’t happen.

Yeah, like fart rape and incorrect pronouns.

The irony of the term 'Black' explains itself.

By its very existence, the term Black-on-Black crime invalidates any idea of a post-racial society in the United States: If we are so far removed from race, why the term “Black-on-Black crime”? Please, I beg all of you, stop using this void and meaningless term “post-racial.” There’s no such thing as “post-racial.” There’s no “post-racial United States.” Racism did not disappear after President Obama was elected. There’s no “post-racial era.” It’s a term for a concept that does not exist. Even if there was such a thing as a post-racial society, I would not live in it. However, I would like to live in a [quote]post-racist[/quote] society: a world where I am not targeted, ostracized, marginalized or politically/economically disenfranchised by the color of my skin–two completely different conceptions.

Fact is, Trudeau and Singh have repeatedly slandered, demeaned and provoked an entire segment of Canadians, who don’t wholeheartedly embrace their woke views.

So completely unnecessary, his Quebec interview for instance.

Like a bad relative who keeps pushing your buttons, they kept at it until a group got pissed off enough. Now they can restore law and order, declaring themselves strong leaders.

Zero sympathy for any hard core anarchists, but this mess is largely Trudeau’s own making.

History will not be kind.

It is also commonly known the term 'Black' was originally used by those who were not comfortable using the N word so as to appear more 'considerate'.

White people kill each other too: According to reports from the United States Department of Justice, most homicides are intraracial in that 84% of white victims were killed by whites.

Of course this is mostly a USA phenomenon, due to gun availability and well, gangs: ie. hells angels, crypts, sociopaths, proud boys, antifa etc. and also international: etc.

One of my best friends is black. A Canadian. Don’t think he’d like it if I referred to him as an African-American

"Many view ‘black friend defense’ as a tired, hollow argument". Ask your friend that you call 'black' how they feel about it, it's called empathy.

He calls himself and his other black friends exactly by that term. They call their white friends “white” and their black friends “black”.

Go away now little troll. Talking out of your ass.

I'd bet a lot of money you have no friends of other races, at all.

Is there any possibility there are large structures that might block the wind in some directions, as opposed to an AWOS installation which is normally located in an unobstructed area?

They must be doing an very good job at it but I will have to accept that.

Wind appears to have picked up downtown at 11:10 local time. Picked up at 10:25 local according to the YOW Metar. Who knows. But there is an emergencies act and there may be an order made for the news stations to intentionally delay but say Live in order to cause difficulty to outsiders trying to communicate adversarial tactics with people on their cell phones.

Pretty darn windy on the live TV now.

This apparently has to be explained in 2022. The term African American actually refers to those who can trace their ancestry through the slave trade, which occurred along the entire Atlantic coast of the Western Hemisphere. Also called The America's. All others would have been immigrants of course.

Protest organizers are decrying police brutality on cue. Ask George Floyd's family about police brutality, I am certain everyone has witnessed the video.

I call this Canada's police demonstrating self defence.

Of course, the brothers also refer to each other as the "N" word. What does that tell you? To me a culture can refer to themselves in these terms as a sign of defiance. It's called pride. I don't categorize people as white this or white that, I say it's just an idiot who happens to be white, or a brother etc. My term of endearment is brother as in related universally. Science proves it.

No, it’s called accepting the use of a racist term which makes you a racist

[SRV]

It is interesting how some people believe if you are a person of colour, it is racist to call yourselves the N word and are offended by the term in a pearl clutching way. This is the epitome of racist privilege creating a false narrative to validate and justify their myths and theories. Very naive.

[rookiepilot]

Perfectly and factual, on CBC bias.

The important thing to note is that so many of those immigrants from that same land belong to the race with a history so deeply involved in the slave trade. Which just by chance, is still happening to this very day. Something those explainers never want to talk about.

Anyways, it is a thread about a truckers convoy, so why don't we go back to that.
