Being Black in Canada | Top Stories | CBC

[@MsDaniels]

We have come from more than Slavery. Who were we as Black people before being forced into slavery. Let's tell this story. Let's talk about who we really are instead of what we were beaten to be.

[@eternalapostate4243]

And what better way to find out who you are by taking a trip to West Africa

[@123456wasp]

Ms. Daniels sure don't forget to mention that the whites bought the slaves in Africa from slave Markets that were already established for the Middle eastern slave trade! So That means Black men sold black men to the white man.

[@MsDaniels]

Yes, I am well aware of this, but again we come from more, greater...tapping into the spiritual higher self, is who we really are, but unfortunately all of these distractions focusing on race and religion moves us away from seeking the Higher things and realizing that we come from a Sonship created before man was even made. Our power has always lied within, and that cannot be stolen from us once we come into alignment with this higher power. Let's take back that power that no man can claim. This knowledge is what was taken and suppressed. This takes great study and obedience to self, where our Creator leads and guides.

[@dn2ze]

Coming from First Nation Denesuline who actually survived Residential schools bitch please..Slavery ended in 1865 residential schools closed down in 1995 where they tried to "kill the Indian but Save the human" crap...man, Blacks coming to Canada really need to read about Native and Inuit History in Canada first before saying such things yet you people whine and bitch about Racism?? lol we Natives and Inuits get it far worst them any Blacks...you people not used to seeing lots of Natives in control for once..the real people of these lands...Native,Inuit and Metis(mixed Native with Europeans) helped and still continue to built Canada..hell we still hunt and live off the land even trap...something People of colour need to see..just be happy with how Natives,Inuits and Metis built Canada...if America had kept the treaties like Canada. America would of been not different then Canada...

[@dn2ze]

BTW Canada is made up by 3 major Groups Native people, Inuit people and Metis people...we don't based stuff on Skin colour like Blacks do we have our Cultures that sets us apart sine way before any Blacks or Whites set foot here..

[@peonyblack626]

I am Canadian and I love my country, but please do not be fooled by our politeness! We also had African slavery, Segregated schools for Black Canadians, Residential School for the Indigenous Population and many forms of oppression directed towards them, Japanese-Canadian Internment Camps, Chinese Head Tax and the Chinese Exclusion Act in Canada and so on. Proportionally to its population, Canada has a very high level of Indigenous and Black Canadians who are victims of Police Brutality and Casualty. A High incarceration rate among Indigenous and Black men, high rate of poverty among the Indigenous People and the Black population and People of Color, higher rates of unemployment among the Indigenous Peoples, Black and racialized groups even among the highly educated. We have hate crimes, the KKK, the media still portrays People of African descent in Blackface (province of Quebec) and of course we have systemic racism.

[@saltspringdesign]

The first time i travelled across Canada on a road trip, heading west, going town to town along the TransCanada Hiway, i choose a black friend to accompany me. I choose him because he was really easy to get along with and i knew he was an auto mechanics enthusiast, which, as it turned out came in handy on the trip. We were on the road for a few months. I grew up in a city in a little multicultural bubble of liberalism and was taught as a child not to judge others based on skin colour or sex; to be respectful towards people of all ilks and ethnicities. The thing is, i was young enough to not really realize that i was in a bubble. As we travelled though parts of Saskatchewan and Alberta, where there are few to no blacks in many towns, i began to realize that Canada is quite racist in the outback and little towns mid country. I was surprised and actually angered by it. My friend took it in stride however. For example, i was meeting people, getting invited home for dinner and meet the wife and kids sort of thing, and my friend couldn't even get a conversation going with most people, they just totally ignored him and gave him a wide berth. I know underlying all of that is just the fear of an unknown quantity and the fact that a lot of Canadians watch American news sometimes which tends to be chock full of black in gang wars, shooting each other and committing violent crime so they get a false view of black culture because the news at that time rarely showed blacks unless they were committing a crime.

Good job stereotyping Albertans you ignorant urbanite

[@saltspringdesign]

​@@shaneweaver7936 i'm not 'stereotyping' and i'm not an 'urbanite'. I'm speaking from personal experience of travelling across Canada with a black man and what i actually saw happen in mid size to smaller towns in Saskatchewan and Alberta. Calgary is a different story; no one i met there was conservative in the least, at least as far as i could tell but we were only there for a few months on our way west. It does have a reputation for being a conservative stronghold as far as Canadian politics goes. Telling the truth of an experience is not 'stereotyping'. Nor would it be stereotyping to say that, on average, Albertans are far more conservative than those in Toronto, Montreal, and Vancouver for example. That is well documented fact, as noted by opinion polster, the largest of which i used to work for, incidentally, so i have spoken with many Canadians, all across Canada. Shane there is racism everywhere in Canada though we tend to be a bit more polite about it than our Southern neighbours, perhaps not quite as blatant. However, when we travelled from east to west, the worst town we encountered for racist cold shoulder towards a well mannered black man were in the outback of Alberta and Saskatchewan. I know racism exists in Halifax Nova Scotia also, have seen it wit my own eyes. So don't take it personally man, unless you your self are racist, bigoted, sexist, hard right conservative. It was based on a series of observations and personall experience and hearing the differing viewpoints and attitudes of many many Canadians, speak about all sorts of issues. I'll also say that there is a large anti-environmental sentiment and actions put forward in Alberta which tends to be linked to and funded by the oil and gas industry and their spin offs. Documented fact. Do you doubt it?

I am so glad this video aired. Personally, I had no idea Canada had these issues. Canada was always shown as a 'safe haven' from racism and from slavery. This is the place where run-a-way slaves escaped to. Although this is a tough subject and many both Black and White wish for this subject to come to a close, there is still so much education required on both sides that need this information. And more importantly, this video does highlight many success stories regardless of the racism and historical oppression that exists, even in modern times. Please do not loose sight of that important fact.

[@jaem.1565]

The most racism I experienced in school was from teachers. Its the most profound kind of racism, because they are authority figures. The thing is when your fellow students display racism it doesn't have the same gravity as it does when your teacher does it because you know your teacher does know better but they truly believe it.In University, I actually had a teacher give a lesson that was so tinged with racism that it really broke me down, because what I've come to realize is that so many people think that being racist is saying actual racist words and don't understand that perpetuating stereotypes are the most prevalent forms of racism. It is demoralizing because it feels like a losing battle when your teacher is perpetuating racially disparaging ideas to an entire class, and you think about how many people are going to be influenced by that idea and in turn perpetuate it. I realized that this teacher really insidiously believed what she was saying was true, but that it just wasn't politically correct to say it. The main principle of white privilege is that white people get to be individuals but people of colour get grouped together by the most base stereotype of their race. I don't think Black-focused schools are the solution. I think more integrated schools with diverse populations of students and teachers are the solution. Then there are concrete issues of race, space and the law. For example when you come to realize that carding continues in Toronto, and that most residents do not care that young Black men are being harassed and treated like criminals by the police because it does not affect their community, it makes you wonder if people are only inclined to feel empathy for those who look like them.

[@macktin1497]

Not sure why the CBC only interviewed black Canadians of Caribbean descent. There are a number of other black Canadians from Africa living in Canada, including Somali-Canadians, Nigerian-Canadians, and Ghanian-Canadians. The segment was very limited in scope.

(1) In Canada, we suffer from the *Tyranny of silence.* We are not arrogant or abusive like the Americans, but we are stubbornly reluctant towards understanding anything about the 'other' --- almost bordering on being afraid of learning about anything 'different.' (2) So, we get people from all possible ethnicities and histories. And Canadians never demean them - but we sure expect that somehow they should *WIPE clean their pasts* & become 'heritage-less' person --- or at least, we like to treat them like that --- a "don't ask, don't tell" motto !! (3) and this is nothing new, this deafening silence of non-engagement is what has alienated the *Native Canadians* for so many years

Westerners colonized this landmass North and South. The Natives have recorded history guesstimating that '''the white man''' will not last on the land no more than 500 years. Well. We are at the 400 year mark. In other words...whatever, who-ever rules now will not always rule. There is no reason to ERASE YOURSELF AND WHO YOU ARE AND WHO YOUR ANCESTORS HAVE BEEN.

Slaves weren't dropped off on American shores. The Atlantic Ocean waves destroyed too many Spaniard and English ships. The African slaves were transported through Nova Scotia. Facts!

@Matty Bruno Lucas Zenere Salas That's correct at all. Slavery was alive and well in Canada and there were systematic legislation (similar to Jim Crow) that condone segregation between Blacks and Whites i.e. schools were segregated and the last segregated school in Canada closed during the 80s in Ontario. Canada is a country that has a troubled settler past the enacted colonization and that still imposes systemic racist that is pro White supremacy and surpressing the racialized minorities.

[@florjean965]

@Matty Bruno Lucas Zenere Salas History has been White washed for years, rarely ever sharing history from racialized minority perspective. I am currently in Sociology (specifically studying Minority Relations) and have been learning torrid past of Canada. I am happy you received a an excellent mark in your class.

[@florjean965]

@Matty Bruno Lucas Zenere Salas Interesting you know who I am talking about yet clearly have a different perspective on what the author was discussing in his books. Regardless of where you are in the world history is often told from the dominant culture perspective and barely acknowledges the history of those who are marginalized.

[@hebber1961]

Speaking as a white man I have to admit I don't quite understand the need for anyone to organize as a race in Canada. First generation clubs from whatever country, sure, but as a race? Is it the elephant in the room... American slavery? I can't help but think that most perceived problems blacks have in Canada are due to American issues we see in movies and media. We in Canada bend over backwards to offer opportunity to succeed. Even touching on racism is widely and loudly crushed. I personally, as do most, give any individual the opportunities they deserve but it's up to them to screw it up or not. To me, if any minority can't make it in this society they aren't trying. It's actually worse in my mind to be white male in public forums because our views and opinions are marginalized and shouted down. KZbin and the internet are the few forums where honest feelings and opinions can be spoken. No one with anything to lose would say this in public for fear of attacks from the thought police. Pretty sad we live in a free country that actually doesn't allow free speech from all. I guess some are more free than others. Keep telling me I'm unfair and bad, when I'm not and I might actually grow resentment and the very prejudice you're complaining about.

[@BeChickaboom]

This is exactly why we need tend to "organize as a race" : similar people will often live similar experiences. Maybe you treat everyone the same but i can assure you that not everyone does. Being white, you don't live and experience what most black people do.

And I won't even bring up Canada's near identical treatment of Native Americans, WWII Japanese, Eskimo's, and demonstrated the exact racial & cultural biases that were displayed in the US & ALL Euro nations. Canadians are not saints. You've behaved no differently than all other nations in regards to race (black people) than your southern neighbors. You simply continue to coast through the decades deflecting scorn , blame, wrong doing & the truth. The only reason that you've been successful is do to the fact that no one outside of Canada knows anything about Canada's history, and no one cares or is interested enough to make the effort. Canada goes to great lengths to bury ANYTHING negative about Canada. Look at the struggle that it took to produce "The Book of Negros". We Americans are NOT above admitting our horrible transgressions, and yours never misses an opportunity to remind us. The balls in your court. Just an observation from an American, married to a Canadian.

[@tuutts39]

Sam LSD Actually I'm the American, married to a Canadian. I mentioned that just to show that I have some actual hands on, up close and personal experience with numerous Canadians, through marriage, friendship, and by having lived and traveled in Canada for a few years. Plus, nearly everywhere I go here at home in the US, I/we run into Canadian expats. Who further feed my knowledge of my aforementioned statements.

[@hebber1961]

tuutts39 What a bunch of crap. No one ever said we were saints, jackass.What was done here in Canada IS nothing like was done elsewhere and we've done more to be inclusive and repair past transgressions than virtually any nation has. So spare me that bullshit you spewed. It's old bitterness that keeps things heated. All people like you want to do is keep the wedge driven between the races.... you have nothing good to offer but nonsense and old hatreds. Get it through your thick skull that you will NEVER shame or guilt us into anything more than we've already done. That crap might work with liberals sitting in trendy coffeehouses and the media but it doesn't work in average homes. Sometimes I think people like you WANT there to be issues and nothing will ever please you. Except maybe if you reversed the old roles. Don't waste my time..... I see Tuutts39.... DELETE.

Well the racism is not "direct" but really subtle. I am Haitian born in Canada, Montreal. In Montreal, Toronto, well big cities, it's fine. Not completely non-racist but fine. It's truly multicultural and diverse. And really easy to see interracial dating, a group of teen from different ethnic background etc.. And more chances that if something racist happens to you, someone will say something. But if you are trying to live in the country side or smaller towns, they are not like (Us Trailer park southern kkk lover) racist but they have this sense of "old stock" and they truly feel that they don't have to include in things and they easily make insensitive comment about minorities. I'd say, they won't harrass you but they never miss a chance to remind you of your "difference-ness". Experience from an Haitian Canadian.

For sure you have lots of white women flying from North America to the Caribbean to have sex with those men. The white males too. This is something a psychologist has to explain to me. When they come back home they pretend to be someone else.

Issues of racism existed around me and this was unquestionable, but we had a safe place in a family with committed parents to develop and make our mark on the world. How refreshing to explore the world from a safe place and our parents especially my father encouraged us to mix with people of all cultures, because he firmly believed and I also believe there is only one race, the human race. We look different on the outside but let’s enjoy the fact that God made of one flesh all people. So, impressed with my amazing grandparents and parents...

Important thing for those watching to keep in mind is that every black person has different experiences across the country. You'll have areas where blacks are racially disadvantaged and discriminated against, and others where they are equal and simply seen as another normal human. For me, it has been the latter fortunately, I've only experienced racism 1 time in my 14 years in Ottawa (born and raised in Ethiopia).

[@Harotneb]

My experience in Canada has been largely positive, with only minimal racial difficulties. As a teenager, I do recall some kids making blatantly racist comments, when I was the only minority in the room; but they were silly girls, popular and full of themselves, and most of the students who heard did not laugh with them. We all knew it was wrong. Another time I was told, by an agent, that a potential employer claimed she would not hire me because of my race. I did not hear these words firsthand, though, so it was impossible for me to verify the truth. In the end, I let the matter alone. Other people, I realize, have endured severe injustices; such have not been my experience, but this does not subtract from their reality. Indeed, racism does exist, and shall remain as long as there are imbeciles wallowing in the mire of ignorance, people who cling to an absurd sense of superiority for lack of something more meaningful to hold. As well--and it must be said!--quite likely, we all have, at some point, entertained discriminatory thoughts. 'Tis not a 'black and white' problem but a human one, and we must be mindful of it beginning with ourselves. Canada, then, with its many inhabitants and complex history, will never be the exception. We can't expect perfection among people, here or anywhere else in the world. Even so, I believe there are enough fellow Canadians who strive to treat people as individuals and are happy to make friends across cultures. My life has been and continues to be a testament to that! Whatever our troubles, we still retain a proud heritage of diversity and progressive ethnic harmony. We do try, and for this reason I love my country. I am deeply patriotic and immensely proud to be part of it!

Faith Serene I'm sorry.. but agent? For what? If you're rich you lose your poor me card. And don't say you're not rich if you had an agent you were PRIVILEGED. Being poor and white is worse than being black and wealthy enough to get an agent.. also if it was an acting agent it depends on what the show was for. If they want a white character? That's their prerogative. If they want a black one? That's fine too. It's not racist. It's a "look" someone's looking for for a certain character and or a certain shoot. (Modelling.)

[@Harotneb]

Chloweful...What are you talking about? I speak of an agency for mainstream employment, not one for actors and actresses. Go to a job agency , take a few tests, and you may acquire an agent, too. It is not an exclusive privilege. Given the context I have clarified, the rest of your comment is not relevant...unless you wish to argue against the Canadian Human Rights Act. I certainly am not wealthy, but thank you for the thought all the same.
