I'd say it's a problem with not feeling connected or in any way invested in the wider community. Special attention has to be paid to those in the margins. Hell maybe the Africentric school will actually work though I hate the very idea. I mean something has to be done.
LOL. Glen Shields is the black school now? But then you went to Vaughan Secondary!
"Openly aware of cultural difficulties in certain communities and not in a manner of racial hatred or ignorance" is the best description I can think of.
Well, I have several black friends, but yea, pretty much.
I mean...racism is such a sensitive issue that it's hard to get your point across without coming off as an ignorant redneck. I grew up in a very multicultural neighbourhood so I feel like I can get a pass when it comes to making observations based on peoples race. I would never discriminate against someone simply because of their race. If you go to the reddit thread a few posts back and read through the twitter accounts of all the people involved you'll see those are the type of people I hate. I would hate them just as much if they were white. I judge people based on their actions and words. It just so happens that a lot of idiots in the news these days happen to be black.
True. Aright, Kave_Man, we'll drink over this at TOGaf meetup.
I remember a few years ago a couple of councilors getting upset with news outlets because they would always say "Scarborough" when something happened anywhere within Scarborough but give the closest intersection for anything any where else in the city. You don't hear about crime in North York when stuff happens at Jane and Finch. Scarborough makes up about 30% of the entire city in terms of area so it's easy to constantly hear "Scarborough" in the news.
