"Chris’ past is repeatedly presented as though it explains why he was killed. Beneath much of the commentary sits an ugly question: was Chris Kaba worthy enough not to be shot by the police?"

SOURCE: SOCIALPSYCHOLOGY.ORGTITLE: "Slavery Is Not a Thing of the Past": UN Supports Call for Reparations
Source: United Nations News
Slavery is not just a thing of the past—its effects continue to be felt in systemic inequality and racism. This message was reiterated on Monday by the United Nations Committee against Racial Discrimination as the world marked the International Day of People of African Descent. The Committee called on countries to implement comprehensive restorative justice, combining compensation, restitution, rehabilitation, and structural reforms.

A quotation from Frederick Douglass
Americans! your republican politics, not less than your republican religion, are flagrantly inconsistent. You boast of your love of liberty, your superior civilization, and your pure Christianity, while the whole political power of the nation (as embodied in the two great political parties), is solemnly pledged to support and perpetuate the enslavement of three millions of your countrymen. You hurl your anathemas at the crowned headed tyrants of Russia and Austria, and pride yourselves on your Democratic institutions, while you yourselves consent to be the mere tools and body-guards of the tyrants of Virginia and Carolina.
Frederick Douglass (1817-1895) American abolitionist, orator, writer
Speech (1852-07-05), “What to the Slave is the Fourth of July?” Corinthian Hall, Rochester, New YorkMore about this quote: wist.info/douglass-frederick/8…

The Confederate Question Never Closed
An old professor's epigram, tested against the monuments, the forts, the flag, a Supreme Court ruling from this spring, and the counterfeit history of emancipation now spreading online. An old history professor of mine once offered a sentence that has outlasted most of what I learned in his classroom. The South lost the battle, he said, and won the war. He meant that the Confederacy was more alive in the present than it had been on the April morning when Lee surrendered to Grant at Appomattox. The claim sounded like provocation at the time. It reads now like a weather report. Army forts carry the names of men who took up arms against the United States. The Supreme Court has just rewritten the rules that protected Black voters in the states most determined to suppress them. A battle flag the rebel armies never managed to carry into Washington was paraded through the Capitol in 2021. My professor's epigram deserves a hearing, and it deserves a harder examination than its admirers usually give it, because one half of it is true in a way that should alarm anyone who wants a working democracy, and the other half is false in a way that can disarm the people who would defend one.

In Canada, the histories of residential school survivors are being challenged by a surge of denialism. Dismantling Denialism confronts those attempts to rewrite history — and explores what it will take to defend truth and reconciliation.

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.

Another #book on my reading wishlist.
White Burgers, Black Cash
Fast Food from Black Exclusion to Exploitation
By: Naa Oyo A. KwateThe long and pernicious relationship between #FastFoodRestaurants and the #AfricanAmerican community.
Today, #FastFood is disproportionately located in #BlackNeighborhoods and marketed to #BlackAmericans through targeted #advertising. But throughout much of the 20th century, fast food was developed specifically for White urban and suburban customers, purposefully avoiding Black spaces. In White Burgers, Black Cash, Naa Oyo A. Kwate traces the evolution in fast food from the early 1900s to the present, from its long #history of #RacistExclusion to its current damaging embrace of urban #BlackCommunities.
Fast food has historically been tied to the country’s self-image as the #LandOfOpportunity and is marketed as one of life’s simple pleasures, but a more insidious history lies at the industry’s core. White Burgers, Black Cash investigates the complex trajectory of restaurant locations from a decided commitment to #Whiteness to the #disproportionate densities that characterize Black communities today. Kwate expansively charts fast food’s racial and spatial transformation and centers the cities of #Chicago, #NewYork City, and #WashingtonDC, in a national examination of the biggest brands of today, including #WhiteCastle, #KFC, #BurgerKing, #McDonalds, and more.

#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.

This happened while I was a second year university student. I was studying military history and went to CFB Gagetown to watch the firepower demonstration. The officer apologized that they were missing troops and engineers. They’d been sent to Kanesatake to fight Land Defenders. A teenaged girl got bayoneted while holding her little baby sister. https://www.cbc.ca/news/indigenous/oka-crisis-4-generations-kanesatake-kahnawake-1.4743129? #LandBack #OkaCrisis #SystemicRacism #Indigedon #CanadianHistory #Indigenous #Kanesatake
