Congratulations to all African Americans

[Champakian]

You now have MLK Day and Juneteenth as National Holidays.


I'm super happy for you -- you deserve it.




However, that's two more than Native Americans.*
I guess after all of the genocides, there just aren't enough left to matter at the ballot box.



* And the fact that some states have changed Columbus Day
still does not a national holiday make...

In Justin Trudeau’s Canada, every day is apology day!

 

[rockcasbah]

That's a good thing.Takes a real man to admit when they're wrong and an even greater man to apologize.

You must think he is a great, great man!

I spend every day feeling guilty about being a blond haired, blue eyed, square jawed, 6 foot, muscular, beautiful and intelligent man. I'm really sorry

Personally, I'm an NDP supporter but with the left split the way it is I'll take a Liberal over Peter Tool. I highly doubt Harper would have the balls to apologize for anything most of all to Indigenous folk especially with his ties to white supremacy (can you say Canadian Heritage Aliance?). Besides, he's pretty easy on the eyes.

I dont think you have to worry about which turban Prime Minister Jagmeet will be wearing anytime soon.

The whole thing about apologizing for what people did hundreds of years ago is a waste of time.

Everyone’s equal. Celebrate that. Live it. Whining about the past is a waste of everyone’s time and serves only to further divide.

The blackface shows him to be a douche,
But the pictures of his family? If it's an official visit, they were probably gifted traditional clothes by their hosts and, if so, it would be polite to wear them for the cameras.

...

Why aren't there any official holidays for Native Americans
Y'all have so many days allocated for various events, people and causes.

Good point Dolf brought up: How come Native Americans and even Aborigines don't complain? At least white men are kind enough to shag the odd pretty afro american girl

Post of the day right here. Thank you.

Btw, it wasn't hundreds of years ago, it was 25 years ago. The last residential school closed in 1996, 1993 in Ontario.

What about Lit? There's still only 1 Black person here, I think the max ever was 3 if you count SmoothG, who was probably RDS. (ha)

Not in Quebec National. Not with what Legault is about to do.

 

[rockcasbah]

I actually like the whole frenchy thing they do in queebland. It’s like a chunk if euro-weirdness in the middle of bland ontario and nouveau brunswique.

NB by the way is the buffer province to give the down easters a DMZ from the frogs.

You’d probably like the east; a lot like boston, mass and maine.

Fuck 'em.

Shit happens.

It just happened to be them that time.

The important thing is to try and make sure it never happens again... to anyone.

Cheers, I feel better now. Was so close to suicide
