Recent Things

Greetings

So I went of on a tangent, on the last post. Some things needed to said, but it certainly is not my ususal demeanor. Though I do hold strongly to things that I firmly believe in. Regardless, so much can be said about racism and I'm sure there is no lack of high emotions that can surface. I appologize that I can rant when it comes to things like that. I must say that of all countries Canada has to be one of best places to live. Mind you, that will never negate the subversive and often residual effects of past indiscretions.

On a lighter note my son is going to be in a movie that airs this sunday (March. 2nd/2008); CBC will be carrying it, it is entitled, "Englishman's Boy." He does not think much of it , but I think its great. Anyways, native people are becoming more active in promoting themselves, and that in it self takes out some of those ill-begotten feelings that have moreover stemmed from things like racism.

Be sure to check out the preview on youtube, type in Englishman's Boy:

Regarding the video

It starts off with anger, how can sane people openly disrespect other people; And moreover go public: is that stupidity or just plain arrogance in a liberal society filled with rights? People of oppression deserve better treatment. Think people, its actions like this that make racist programs justifiable. Only white privilage can postualte itself to do such things and then further turn around and defend such things, proposterous. When (the oppressed) people react with frustration, you have other people calling them racist. Native oppression will never be the same as White oppression, too bad equallity is cheapened by trying to equate the both of them. Racism is essentially oppression, there is no other way of understanding it. People can say things, but if they have the power to oppress, than their words are more damaging, that is racism 101.
