@ Sion, @Kai and Other Black Canadians, School Rex on Race Relations in Canada

Canadian blacks actually feel that the white man and woman loves them when the truth is that they are racist to them behind their back (and, at times, to their face too).


Study exposes tolerance of racism

When it comes to repudiation of racism, words speak louder than actions, according to a York University study that suggests people are far more tolerant of bigotry than they might express.

While people would clearly condemn racism in advance, the majority of non-black people would sit mute and indifferent as blatant acts of anti-black racism occurred before them, according to the Toronto research, published today in the journal Science.

"People expect in a very deliberate fashion that they'll be offended by racism, that they'll censor or avoid racists," said York psychologist Kerry Kawakami, the lead author of the study.

"But our (research) showed that that's not the case when they're actually placed in that situation."

Indeed, while paying strident lip service to their anti-racist attitudes, most of the study's non-black subjects did not try to rebuke or even avoid a mock bigot who had been planted in their midst.

The York paper, which also involved University of British Columbia and Yale University researchers, involved some 120 non-black students.

For the study, researchers placed three students in a classroom, one white, one black, and one white or Asian. And while two of the students – the black and one white – were in on the scheme, the third believed they were all there waiting for a study to begin.

"Then the black person stands up and says `I forgot my cellphone,' and he walks out of the room. And as he walks out, he gently hits the other white person on the knee," Kawakami said. When the black person left the room, the white person turned to the other person and said something racist – "in some cases extremely racist," she said.

Despite using terms as offensive as "clumsy n----r," the planted bigot faced little or no reprisal from the majority of white subjects.

Indeed, said Kawakami, when asked subsequently to pick a partner for the purported study, some 63 per cent of the white students picked the bigot over the black.

The racist comments had such little impact, said Kawakami, that the same number of subjects chose the white person in corresponding experiments where the slurs were absent.

A control group of "forecaster" students, who faced no racist comments but were told of the experiment, predicted overwhelmingly that they would be offended and would lash out at the speaker.

In an accompanying article, a pair of U.S. researchers says the York work may simply point to a quirk of being a participant in an experiment. Psychologists Eliot Smith, of Indiana University, and Diane Mackie, of the University of California, Santa Barbara, said experimental subjects are usually in an unfamiliar mindset, and that a strange perspective may alter their emotional responses.

But Kawakami said the absence of a predicted backlash to racism may be due to shock amongst those who hear it.

Also, people witnessing the racism may actually perceive a slight bump by a black person as truly threatening, she said. "It's possible ... we might perceive blacks' behaviour to be much more aggressive, much more extreme than a white's behaviour."

Another ? ? trying to get a cheap laugh.

You stupid ? are something else.

I'm in here trying to drop knowledge, and all you can think of is to come in here and make stupid ? jokes, though I bet y'all can't point to a single thing I said that is coonish.

Sad that that's how you gotta get your kicks in life.

And you downplay anti-black racism in Canada.

That is far more coonish than anything I have ever said or done.

I read that there were a lot of free blacks early on that fought for Britain against America. Canada was very racist towards them, so many went to Africa to places like Freetown, Sierra Leone. They were called Nova Scotian Settlers. Jamaican Maroons went there first, but many more Canadians followed.

@A Talented One i was alluding to the fact that they hide their racism (at least compared to America) more against blacks, but they are openly oppressive to Native Canadians.

Who really gives a ? about canada

If a talented ? knows this dude is super cooning, you know its bad.

If you said this to my face you would be very sorry. Trust me.

Next, you're a ? idiot. Nothing I have said on this site is even remotely coonish: saying that black folks can be racist is not coonish, saying that racial profiling, though always wrong, need not always be racist is not coonish, saying that black women in my experience seem to be more concerned about a man's wallet than white women is not coonish, criticizing the excesses of some militants is not coonish, saying that putting East African and mixed/mixed looking women over other black women is not coonish. These are all the reasons why these IC clowns say that I am a ? .

If you think any of this is coonish, please explain why. I won't hold my breath because your ? has no idea what you're talking about.

Now ? off.

A ? is someone who will disparage his own race to big up another. Saying black women care more about a black man's wallet than a white woman does and putting mixed women over black women is textbook cooning.

Like I said, I need not reaffirm your idiocy.... You're like the Shao Khan of ? .

I'm not taking up for A Talented One, but I think you got your definitions messed up. A ? was someone who reaffirms stereotypes about black people for the entertainment of non-blacks, namely whites. Like a black person bucking his eyes, showing teeth, acting dumber than he is, acting slow etc. Someone like Steppin Fetchit would qualify as a ? . Just because someone says something you don't like doesn't make them a ? .

In this thread I haven't really seen him say anything that would qualify him as a ? , but I have seen him say some unfavorable things about black women in other threads. Maybe he's a sellout or Uncle Tom...

Would "a talented ? ? " be the correct terminology?
