Man, I always wondered why Americans hated/bad-mouthed Canadians so much….now I see its the same old shit, hating Black people. Yes people, ‘Canadian’ is now a substitute word for ‘Nigger’….
Another point to this argument is: Does crucifying racists in our society (i.e. an Imus or a Michael Richardson) and over reacting to these remarks only drive true racists further underground? Does this not have the effect of continuing ignorant beliefs by driving them further underground, rather than confronting them and educating them? Wouldn’t solving the problem of racism by examining the factors that create it be more effective? It was a classic debate I remember having as a tenth grader….
Don’t believe me, read it yourself…
You are SO right about that – I think the challenge to folks like us is not to fall to their level — as they are wrong being nasty to minority groups, or canadians or whatever – we shouldnt make ourselves wrong by being nasty to rascits, or to anyone for that matter
good blog.
