White guilt is very much responsible for when whites stand up in opposition to things like this.
Did a white man come up with this idea? No, but whites are in this thread and in the streets claiming "im not racist, i would never support segregated schools."
and that is very much white guilt, it doesnt have to be a compassion policy.
You guys should read Shelby Steels book:White Guilt" maybe THEn youll know where I am coming from.

I am of the mindframe that public schools isnt where Id send my kids, and if you dont want to send your kid to the afro school, send them somewhere else. Public schools are not good anyway. |
white guilt? in Canada? for fucking what - these aren't the descendants of African blacks who were captured and shipped off to America to be auctioned off as slaves. guilt? for opening the doors to them the same way the doors are opened to every other race, color, creed on the planet? they are IMMIGRANTS - like every other immigrant who came and will come to Canada.
not a nickel of public money should be spent on an Afro Canadian school - they can do what every other immigrant group has done if they want their kids to learn about their own culture and history and associate with those of their own kind - make their own private schools like the Roman Catholics and Jews do and support it with their own hard earned money.
