White Calgary mom hopes community BBQ will stop her family from being ‘racially slurred’

A Calgary mother who claimed her white family was the victim of racialized bullying in a mostly black neighbourhood hosted a community barbecue on Saturday with the hope of bringing the area’s children together.

Blair France and her husband moved into Shaganappi Village, a southwest affordable housing complex in November. But the couple says their family, which consists of two girls ages seven and 12, and an eight-month-old son, have been bullied by other children in the neighbourhood. France said there have been instances where scores of children have gathered on her lawn, screaming and throwing rocks at her family’s home.

“They have racially slurred my children,” France said. “They’ve called my children ‘white crackers,’ one boy that I found out called (my daughter) a ‘marshmallow’ and ‘white-skinned people’ and that we’re poor and stuff like that. We’re all in poverty, so we have to all understand that.”

The reality is that blacks are taught to be racist right from the get-go, either by example or verbally. Worse, it is widely condoned and even encouraged in society and up to the highest levels of government and throughout the media as well.

I feel for this family. A BBQ may be of temporary help, but methinks some street cred will be required at some point.

When I used to walk through black areas in NYC as a youth, I often heard “Hey, Snow White!” or “Yo! Casper the Ghost!” I always laughed.

The closest thing to hell might very well be living in a black neighborhood...

When the black family moved into my little town they held an open house. It was actually a good way for them to get to know the neighbors but we didn’t have any issues with racism.

Unfortunate name for the housing project, surprised no one has called it racist.

Sounds like the girls may be learning a valuable lesson, even if the mother isn’t.

Just put out a call to some grande prairie lads, we’ll sort it.

Lots of street cred after that.

Calgary?

I was surprised about the location too. Looks like blacks are about 3% of the population there, who knew.
