Slavery broke the world in half, it broke it in every way. It broke Europe. It made them into something else, it made them slave masters, it made them crazy. You can't do that for hundreds of years and it not take a toll. They had to dehumanize...slaves...[and] themselves

When somebody says, "We have to meet people where they are," an important question is, WHICH people? Who are you prioritizing? How would our antiracist efforts change if me met people experiencing racism and demanding justice where THEY are, and used that as our starting point?

With the resignation of Russell Brown from the Supreme Court of Canada @SCC_eng, we call on the Prime Minister @JustinTrudeau to recommend a Black judge to address the lack of Black representation on the bench. Our judiciary must be representative of our communities.

We finished STARFest with the incomparable Ian Williams (@ianwillwrite) & Omar Salifou (@isthisforrealca. The evening started with a recitation by Poet Laureate Lauren Seal and introductions by Helen Agbonison. Insightful and illuminating! Photos: @landdeveloperAB #ReadersFest

I’m taken aback at how shallowly people perceive the hijab issue in Iran. No govt whether in Iran or Quebec has a write to mandate what women wear or don’t wear. Yet, watch “liberals” support Iranian protests but not Quebec. 1/ thestar.com/opinion/star-col…

Haiti is the only country in the world where descendants of enslaved people were forced to pay reparations to descendants of their masters for generations.
Nobody knew exactly how much Haiti paid France — and at what cost to its future — until now. nyti.ms/3MA2C3V

The Underground Railroad was not only a refusal of the plantation and a declaration of Black Liberation, it was also sometimes a point of solidarity between Black folks and Natives.

This juxtaposed with the fact that African people are being denied safe passage both by other countries and Ukrainian representatives themselves...it's just another day on this everything-is-racist planet.

BHM '22 reminder that there's still no mandated specific learning expectations on Black history in @ONeducation curriculum. The OBHS has not heard from @ONeducation @Sflecce since Oct 2020 when we sent our letter of concern. Real structural change is needed & the calls continue.

I facilitated a small group session on the history of anti-Black racism in Canada for #BlackHistoryMonth today and shared some images with the group that demonstrate the internal incoherence of Canadian exceptionalism/American singularity.
I reproduce them here 🧵:

Are protesters in Quebec going to also ask for Bill 21 to be repealed since they’re fighting for freedom? Asking for a friend.
