“ #Americans had always #racialized #robot like creations,” continues Abnet, citing the first #American automaton (a caricature of a Native American) and the “grotesque minstrel-like caricatures of Black and Asian bodies” that made up #automatons in the late nineteenth century.”

WELCOME TO OUR QRIB
Willow River Centre and Spectrum’s Black, Racialized and Indigenous Queers (BRIQ) House are co-organizing a series of events called QRIB (Queer, Racialized, Indigenous and Black) community hangouts to help foster a safer community for self-identifying queer, racialized, Indigenous and Black individuals.
The two organizations started hosting these hangouts last year from Aug. 9 to Dec 13. Initially focused on karaoke, the hangouts have since evolved to include other community-focused activities like bonfires and discussion circles.
The name “QRIB” is a play on words for the word crib and was chosen to evoke a sense of home or gathering space. The Willow-River Centre, an event venue based in Kitchener, played a key role by offering a space designed for the Indigenous and racialized queer population, incorporating culturally specific elements, local art and non-hierarchical, healing-focused community values, instead of clinical or colonial support models.
“They bring a sense of safety for a lot of Indigenous and queer people locally,” Karla Gomez, a facilitator of the QRIB hangout, said.
Spectrum provides funding and support, including food and resources at hangouts. Though the organization wasn’t initially inclusive, recent leadership changes made it more committed to reconciliation and community prioritization.
“The hangouts are non-hierarchical, free, and community-led, fostering healing and connection in ways that feel safe and liberating to those involved,” Roni Noodle, a director of the QRIB hangouts, said.
Noodle also explained how QRIB is unique in Kitchener-Waterloo, and no other local spaces offer the same intersectional support for 2SLGBTQIA+ and racialized individuals. Noodle described BRIQ House as another supportive space for Indigenous and queer people in the area but noted it holds a different relationship with the community compared to Willow River Centre. Although Spectrum started hosting QRIB hangouts to create a more inclusive space, it’s not a space designed for racialized, Black and Indigenous individuals. Even though they’re attempting to change, they decided a partnership with Willow River Centre will help them.
“It’s a space where you don’t need to translate your soul. It’s designed with you in mind,” Roni said.
They said that people from within the racialized or queer community are not always comfortable in public spaces and they do not feel acknowledged or seen, but this is a space where those individuals can feel comfort and express themselves more freely.
Noodle explained that last year’s QRIB hangouts went very well. However, Spectrum’s director changed earlier this year and the two organizations were not sure if they had funding for the hangouts this year. However, the new director was very supportive of the events.
“Events like this are too important to the community for us not to prioritize funding for it,” Gomez said.
She said events such as the QRIB hangout need to exist, saying that Spectrum continues to show commitment to supporting these hangouts, by applying for funding for racialized Indigenous Queers.
These events have had a successful turnout so far, with returning participants and new individuals joining the hangout, these events also address local issues revolving around the racialized, queer, and Indigenous communities such as peer support, food insecurity, loneliness, and isolation.

#Racism and #policing have gone hand and hand in the #Canadian context—from the historical #SettlerColonialViolence of the #RCMP through contemporary practices, from carding and surveillance to assaults upon #racialized people and communities. The settler colonial character of the Canadian state continues in the current context in the #disproportionate arrest and incarceration of #Indigenous people and the exertion of violence, often lethal violence, against them.
Not surprisingly, the Canadian state and its various institutions of criminal justice have stridently denied claims of racism. Commissioner Brenda Lucki—the head of the Canadian state’s ongoing colonial force, the RCMP—recently infamously denied the existence of #SystemicRacism in the RCMP, even suggesting at a federal hearing that she did not know quite what that meant.

A #HumanRights organization is calling for an #IndependentInquiry into #Montreal #police #SPVM after emails show what appears to be the force interfering with an independent report looking into the practice of #StreetChecks.
The independent study was commissioned by the SPVM.
A group of several #researchers from different #Quebec universities published the study in 2023 and found that #racialized people are disproportionately targeted by the practice and that a #moratorium should be imposed.
But the most shocking part of the study wasn’t the findings — it is what high-ranking officials within the force appeared to do to change that conclusion.

Advocates have been pressing for years for legislation to counter environmental racism, in which polluting factories and other environmentally damaging activities are disproportionately located near #Indigenous or #racialized communities.” (3/3)

[Lots of other white men, including some of my husband’s #journalism colleagues, were quick to comment that we shouldn’t jump to conclusions. Well, that’s bullshit. Even for people who did recognize the shootings as an act of #racism, I had to explain to them that it’s not just racism. It’s a #racialized #misogyny that’s very, very specific to #AsianWomen. ]

"The fact is, all #ethnic groups, once they fall under the gaze and power of #race makers, become #racialized. I am a descendant of American slaves. My ethnic group is #AfricanAmerican. My race, as an African American, is Black. Kenyans are racialized as a #Black ethnic group, while Italians are White, Japanese are #Asian, Syrians are #MiddleEastern, Puerto Ricans are #Latinx, and Choctaws are #NativeAmerican. The racializing serves the core mandate of race: to create hierarchies of value."

(Today, Byfield is one of only a few #racialized #winemakers in #Canada — and the only #Black #Canadian with their own wine label.
Byfield, 55, is the owner of #NyaraiCellars, a virtual wine label. The company does not have a building or vineyard of its own, but contracts grapes from growers in the Niagara region. The wine is made at a winery in Hamilton — West Avenue Cider House — where Nyarai Cellars has its own barrels and tanks.)

Still find it strange reading the term "#racialized" to essentially mean non-white, implying white is not a race, in the same sense "#ethnic" was used to mean non-British stock, since a British background wasn't ethnic, just normal.

The #Canadian government's #HumanResources arm, the #TreasuryBoardOfCanadaSecretariat (#TBCS ), came to that conclusion after nine #employees filed a policy #grievance through their #unions in October 2020. Their grievance alleged that "#Black and #racialized employees at the #CHRC (#Canadian #HumanRights Commission) face #systemic #AntiBlack #racism , #sexism and #SystemicDiscrimination ."

These before and after #photos reveal how much #Detroit has changed
For decades, Detroit has been #America's underdog. The #city has scrapped and fought its way through #racialized #urbanPlanning and white flight, #deindustrialization, and a massive #recession. Through all of this, at times, Detroit has been down – but never out.
