White people were encouraged not to take up space or talk to the media at vigil for Michael Brown in Toronto, Canada, on Tuesday Facebook post sparked war of words, accusations of 'pro-segregation' Comes after shooting of black teenager highlighted severe racial divides between white police force and African American civilians in Ferguson Grand jury verdict not to indict Officer Wilson provoked global protests

A set of rules for white people at a vigil for Michael Brown in Canada has sparked controversy with critics accusing organizers of promoting segregation.

'Non black allies' were told to 'refrain from taking up space in all ways possible' and 'never be at the centre of anything' at the event in Toronto on November 25.

The Facebook page also advised white demonstrators to 'refrain from speaking to the media' and 'stand behind black folks or between us and the police'.

'If you see a cop harassing a black person,' it added, 'come in and engage (chances are they are least likely to arrest you)'.

It has provoked tension in the wake of the grand jury verdict in Ferguson, which refused to indict officer Darren Wilson for the fatal shooting of unarmed black teenager Michael Brown.

Well, sweeties, after your little white kids get perfect scores on their SATs and otherwise work their asses off, you’ll find they’re not allowed to stand in the way of a black person at a competitive university either. Welcome to diversity: STFU and take your family to the back of the bus.

Canada did not have slaves. In fact, Canada was at the end of the underground railway taken by escaped slaves. We have the descendants of those slaves as full citizens today.


I learned the same BS when I went to public school in Canada. Oh, Canada! Takin' in those slaves... Takin' in those Jews... ("ONE Jew would be too many!" - PM M. King) Tell ya what: NAME ONE. Name ONE "descendent of slaves who crossed over on the underground railway to Canada..." It should be easy, The Great Harriet Tubman was responsible for maybe 11 persons...

Why? Because they feel left out , and they want the drama.

We have police incidences here too , but it’s usually white on white. And the media ,if it can ignore it, ignores it.

Go down around Shewsbury, North Buxton , Chatham or Dresden Ontario. They’re not hard to find.

Almost 20,000 Jewish Canadians volunteered to fight for Canada during World War II. Imagine that!

1. Yep, can’t name one.

2. Yes, of course Jews in Canada fought in WWI and WWII. Canada conveniently forgets however that she turned away from Jewish refugees, even turning boats BACK to Germany, in WWII, as elucidated by the PM’s (buried) quote on Jewish immigration: “ONE is too many.”

3. Please, however, let’s not let the Canadians believe that they have anything but a sterling human rights record and are so much... Well, better, really, than their idiot neighors to the South. After all, if Canadians weren’t better than Americans, who would they be?

Any white person who is stupid enough to show up at a Mike Brown vigil deserves it.

I visited Baptist churches in Nova Scotia filled with their descendants. Nova Scotia sheltered the Acadians as well as the slaves.

Ahh, yes. The Acadians fleeing persecution in Louisiana, I suppose? Seriously... When you say that "Nova Scotia sheltered Acadians," and you are referring to a place settled by Acadians (fine,) do you mean before or after the forced deportation of Acadians?

Yep. I have been told every black person in Canada who not from the Caribe or a recent immigrant was proudly "descended from slaves," but I never met one or heard any independent, credible testimony in my time there. Oh well. Sometimes I suppose it's better just to believe people... Like how everyone today is a "sharecropper's son." I like the sound of that, actually. Me too: I am a sharecropper's daughter. For real.

Black people have all the same rights as anyone else here in America.
There are poor black people and poor white people. Guess which group gets little help and treated as though they are all trailer trash?

First few paragraphs of the article re-done with white/black edit changes in all CAPS:

Actually I could name half a dozen or more. But what’s the point? The names are meaningless to anyone reading this.

There was only one boat. Turned away from Cuba and the US , the St Louis never got to Halifax before being turned away from Canada. PM King never said “none is too many”. An bureaucrat named Fred Blair did.

As for the rest of your post, hogwash .

One is too many. But exactly. What difference do facts make? As a sharecropper's daughter I couldn't agree more.
