Minneapolis PD Suffocate Unarmed Black Man Who Later Dies in Hospital

[N-E-B]

I don’t know how anyone can defend this. These people are not police officers, they are murderers in a police uniform.

The way he just sat there choking him with his hands in his pocket is sickening.

Try reading the articles and educating yourself on the topic or gtfoh. You're part of the problem.

I mean, we had residential schools until the 1990s and we still have a reservation system that was designed to segregate. Development and production in these communities were largely ignored until is became of interest to the federal government. There is a political system that they are largely disenfranchised from. Many of the communities also still suffer from cycles of substance abuse from 200 years ago when drugs (i.e. alcohol mostly) were pushed on them on an almost unprecedented scale at the time.

Canada is pretty much the dictionary definition of systematic racism.

lol people in this thread actually trying to quantify racism with improper Google searches

What is the purpose of your post? To gaslight that there isn't systemic racism in Canada? That a lot of information on the topic could not be found on the worlds largest search engine and database of information? Do you want me to come up with a list of textbooks and scholarly journal articles? Help me out here.

I asked for examples and was given a google search as if that was some sort of proof of anything. Try using your brain. I was curious about legitimate current issues that show systemic racism against indigenous peoples in Canada.

In the past sure.

Is the current reserve system systematic racism? I'm not so sure about that.

Anyways, this isn't the right thread for this. Let's not derail further.

Its a legit question in 2020. You may not think so but it doesn't make me a troll or gaslighting.

Do you think the lack of clean drinking water, higher rates of incarceration, substance abuse, etc., etc., are just because?

You should probably go back and look at what you responded to with the "google search" remark. He made a comment about the video you posted. You may be getting your posters mixed up.

You got the wrong guy. I was responding to that annoying video of the woman saying "look at all the police protecting this murderer".

Ok, systemic racism in Canada, example, I'm a foster parent, I care for both native and non native youth, every single native kid sent to me is diagnosed 'possibly Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder based on no more than casual observation, few of them were FASD because frankly I don't choose to look after that population and so choose kids I don't think are FASD, the non native kids almost never have that in their file even though their back ground and behavioural issues are identical.

I have sat in a meeting with a white social worker who repeatedly called for an FASD referal even though the child's mother was present (along with 5 or 10 other adults plus the child) and had told us and I quote 'I have done a lot of stupid ####ty things as a mother but I never drank when I was pregnant', the kids behaviour never indicated he was FASD but the social worker was convinced all native mothers drank and all native kids were FASD, by the end of the meeting it was all I could do to stop the kid punching the social worker out as his mum sobbed in the corner, to this day part of me wish's I'd let him.

That is systemic racism, and because of this attitude when Native Education and employment programs are set up it is almost always with the idea that none of the participants can do much because they are all FASD and so just provide them with a day program to keep them quite, never challenge them to complete grade 12 and go to college because that is beyond them.

The very suggestion that systemic racism against First Nations people in Canada might not exist, means the suggester has never cared enough to know. It’s not up to others to prove you wrong or educate you in an instance like that. If you gave a #### at all, you’d know it.

And that’s not to say anyone has to care about other people in their country. Nobody really has to, but it’s remarkably silly to go around asking questions you don’t care about the answer to. It’s not a legit question in 2020. Smarten up and learn something about your country and the people that live in it.

I often disagree with you in threads, but posts like this really make me appreciate that you're a very decent person.
