Black Students at Canadian college barricade Vice President of school, complain about racism

[Phitz]

black canadians and black americans have completely different dynamics
black canadians comprise of west indians and africans. They have their own countries
Black americans have America and america only
As a place of refuge for aa culture

There's still a decent size black Canadian population that stayed since the underground railroad. They're also different culture unto their own compared to other black Canadians and black Americans.

The c00ns in this thread.

c00ns, did you stop and thing for a second that maybe underneath all the fussing there was a legitiment complaint?

Maybe the video didn't capture all what they were trying to communicate. This happens often in the media. Video can be manipulated to make you look like or say something that is
completely opposite of what you stand for or were trying to communicate.

I'm conflicted about this video.

On the one hand, the students are expressing a legitimate grievance and i'm glad they're woke to the racial dynamics that underpin social institutions. But on the other hand, their methods reek of millennial entitlement. If you're actually looking to amend the systems within which you operate, you have to at least be open to dialog. The white VP wasn't belligerent, so I see no reason for the students to respond to her in that manner. If they're just looking to vent some shyt off their chests, that's perfectly fine, but it's not activism. And more and more i'm seeing this venting method being promoted as legitimate activism. If you believe that the time for dialog has passed, then burn the place down, don't pretend like you're working towards some common ground. Lotta people just playing revolutionary. It's easy to sit in some white woman's office and yell at her for 9 minutes. It's difficult to be open to her perspective and work within the system to bring about the changes you desire.

What they're actually doing is burning bridges with potential employers, it's ignorant shyt. I doubt they're on that anti-Boss shyt either.

Then they should have stuck to legitimate complaints and elected a spokesperson. This just BLM all over again.
