Black History Month In Canada

Black History Month In Canada

Rosa Parks was asked to move to the back of the bus and she said no and the American civil rights movement went into high gear.

When the news reached Canada of Rosa Parks defiance every politician and businessman and corporate executive of African origin said it was about time American Afro-Americans did something.

The British abolished black slavery in Upper Canada in the 1830s and that’s when all former slaves were able enjoy all the fruits of the harvest and grow wealthy and move up the social ladder of success.

When Rosa Parks was being finger printed at the police station a Canadian black farmer was working his own land.

When Rosa Parks was in court defending herself a Canadian black politician was drafting a piece of legislation.

The Americans are always bragging about their constitution yet that piece of paper kept human being as slaves.

In Canada the people of African descent have enjoyed the good life of freedom for all and this is why this country gets a lot of respect all over the world.

Really?

And who might that be?

This is why you and the rest of the liberals in Canada, have such a jaded and unrealistic view of this nation, you haven't clue one about it's history.

You tell me what's your Reform/Conservative view on Canada?

 

[CDNBear]

You tell me what's your Reform/Conservative view on Canada?

I can't...for two reasons. I'm niether reform, nor conservative :lol:, and there wasn't a black politician drafting legislation in parliament in 55. So ya, ya, ya, I must be a reform, conservative, because I actually know more about Canadian history then you and the bulk of the left in this country...:roll:

Burr Plato was a councilor in Niagara from 1886 to 1901.
William Hubbard was an Alderman from 1894 to 1914.

The first black Canadian to be elected to a position where he could be drafting legislation, wasn't until Lincoln Alexander was elected in 68, and of all things, as a Progressive Conservative...:lol:

But nope, no black politicians in either the Provincial or Federal legislatures in 55, when Rosa was tried for disorderly conduct and breach of public ordinance.

And just because I know the facts of our history and despise those on the left that haven't clue one, and mangle it to their benefit, does not make me a right wing reformer or conservative you know.

It makes me a realist.

As for my personal, non partisan views of this great Nation? We are leaps and bounds ahead of other nation, in regards to equality. In some areas we've gone way to far in protecting peoples feelings, as apposed to actually protecting their rights. But in the end, we reached mile stones ahead of other nations. In erroneously comparing ourselves to a singular nation, as you have in your OP. You detract from our sovereignty and dignity.

Try learning the truth about our history, it surely isn't as pretty as you think it is. Which is why you sport a photo of the worst PM in the history of Canada. If you actually knew Canadian history, you would know him to be such.

Stop trying to make yourself feel better about Canada, by putting down the states. That's like a bully on a play ground putting others down to feel good about himself, because his self esteem is of such low proportions . Learn about our rich and lustrous, but sometimes tarnished history and you will see you have no need to balance your perception of Canada against the States or any other nation, to feel good about her.

Ive always wondered why in Canada we celebrate Black History month when there are hardly any black folks in the country compared to other visiable minorities??? Why do the black get a whole month to celebrate and not other cultures or ethnic groups?

Gibbs on Victoria City Council

In 1866, Mifflin Gibbs made history. He was the first black representative elected to the Victoria City Council, and the first black politician in Canada.

There have been many successful blacks in Canadian politics:

WILLIAMS: Black History Month

You might want to look up James Douglas who was the governor of the colonies of Vancouver Island and British Columbia.

His mother was free coloured. Which meant mixed race.
