“in Canada we don’t kill them, we just objectify them!”

… from Steps?

Maybe not the majority, but clearly it’s common enough to warrant mentioning for the people affected by it.

Point 2 is better explained in the article. I don’t take this as discrimination, more that while I will always aim to empathise and understand as much as I can about the black experience and be an ally, it’s something I will never have direct experience of, so maybe there are some conversations that I don’t need to muscle in on.

Yeah haha, I think point 2 is well explained in the article, maybe it’s too generalised here.

Still good general advice for posting in my opinion, better to think in general.

I don’t really understand why this is getting so massively downvoted.

Seems perfectly reasonable to me as a white person. Yes, point two could be more nuanced, but otherwise aren’t all these downvotes kind of illustrating the point the OP is making here?

Username checks out ;)

You’d think the bad publicity alone would be enough to destroy any chance of election. You’d think.

As a bassist, can confirm.
