    The stats say it all

    Apparently in 2022 about 1,200 US Black male prisoners died per year

    And in 2023,
    15, 440 Black males were homicide victims ...the highest number of any ethnicity

    Living Black in the US is dangerous

  12. Through a political desire for unity, ‘we are documenting the transformation of the very meaning given to the principle of #laïcité, the interpretation of which has undergone a notorious shift: whereas yesterday it allowed the pluralist expression of beliefs, today it requires religious neutrality’.

    Stéphanie Hennette-Vauchez in "L'École et la République - La nouvelle laïcité scolaire" (2023)

  13. A moving walkway is a great metaphor for systemic racism. This allegory is from Dr. Beverly Daniel Tatum in her book “Why are all the black kids sitting together in the cafeteria?” Dr. Camara Jones extended the metaphor to include dismantling the system in her TED talk “Allegories on race and racism.”

  14. In the midst of a global uprising against police brutality and systemic racism, No Visible Trauma examines a deeply troubled police department and reveals the devastating consequences of unchecked police brutality. Despite its relatively low crime rates, recent years have seen the Calgary Police Service shoot and kill more people than officers in any other Canadian city, and more than either the New York or Chicago police departments in 2018. Five years in the making, the film unravels the intertwined stories of three individuals who were the victims of extreme violence at the hands of police officers. From the kidnapping and beating of a young immigrant from Ghana, to the fatal shooting of an unarmed man during a “wellness check”, the film exposes a criminal justice system that fails to hold police officers accountable for their actions.

    This doc focuses on CalgaryPD but the issues raised are happening across AB, in BC, Manitoba, Ontario & many more places across Canada. Canadian cops keep getting away with crimes & human rights abuses, daily, in Canada. Systemic racism is still a major problem across the country - no matter how much our governments try to whitewash their PR.

  16. • In terms inherited from Marxism, what is the value of a description of the bourgeois class without an analysis of capitalism?

    • In terms inherited from materialist feminism, what is the value of a description of masculinity without an analysis of patriarchy?

    • Charles W. Mills asserts that white supremacy shapes the objective interests of the white group, uniting it. In particular, white supremacy counterbalances the class antagonisms that run through the white group.

    #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.

    *Are the #US on a road to a #NewCivilWar or to a resolution of #SystemicRacism?*

    Truthful history education in the #US would be quintessential, yes, but very hard, because 👉the US are built as a #SlaverNation right from the start👈, as film maker #MatthewCooke brilliantly argues in the episode "Slaver Nation" of his #podcast, #AmericanOriginStories:

    #Slavery' s been an integral part since its founding, woven into the very fabric of all #US nation-building for centuries, not just the, say..
