A new educational resource is looking at the long history in British Columbia of racist policies and the resiliency of the many Indigenous, Black and racialized people who have been affected.
The open-source booklet Challenging Racist British Columbia: 150 Years and Counting was released today by co-publishers the University of Victoria (UVic) and the Canadian Centre for Policy Alternatives (CCPA).
The 80-page document is being made available as Black History Month wraps up and as B.C. approaches its 150th anniversary of joining Canada this July 20.
“In 1871, this province joined the Canadian federation and, ever since, communities of Indigenous, Black, and other racialized peoples have waged protracted struggles against the dispossession of Indigenous lands, institutionalized discrimination, and the politics of exclusion,” the report begins.
Karen Bass contradicts Fauci, blames ‘systemic racism’ and ‘access’ for inequities in vaccine distribution
Rep. Karen Bass said she believes “systemic racism” is at least partly to blame for white Americans outpacing black and Hispanic Americans in gaining access to the coronavirus vaccine.

Larry Elder: What Left-Wing Educators Don’t Teach During ‘Black History Month’
Apart from the bizarre notion that educators should set aside one month to salute the historical achievements of one race apart from and above the historical achievements of other races, Black History Month appears to omit a lot of black history.
Professor ripped for ‘multiracial whiteness’ claim
A New York University professor has come under fire for writing a Washington Post opinion piece that claimed some black and Hispanic voters in the United States supported Donald Trump because of something called ‘multiracial whiteness.’

The CBC Claims it has No Bias Despite Race-Based Management Practices
For Canadians who are not of a left-wing progressive political perspective, much of the CBC’s reporting on their progress on supposed “diversity” may come across as quite concerning.
It shouldn’t come as news that the CBC’s working definition of “diversity” is purely based on race/ethnicity. The CRTC licensing commission was specifically focusing on progress on “the CBC’s pledge to hire more staff and managers from underrepresented groups.”
The CBC admits to having made significant changes to their policies relating to diversity and inclusion as a response to 500 current and former employees complaining about the alleged “systemic racism” around the time of the BLM protests and riots during the summer of 2020, which the CBC only refers to as “protests”.

The Civilian Review and Complaints Commission made its recommendation to the Commons public safety committee: “The only way the public complaint process works is if people trust the system.”
Affirmative action has served to empower fat, white liberal broads, infantalise instead of enfranchise minorities and squeeze everyone else out and we all know it.
