Your entire premises seeks to reconize one type of victim and not the other. And identify one perpetrator but dismiss or exclude others. The only minimizing being done here is by you. I'm just waiting for you to suggest that another prepretrator of slavery other than "Caucasians" are somehow exempt from accountability because of their ethnicity.

Absolutely not. Did you read the sources I provided? They clearly included several perpetrators of slavery, not just "Caucasians" as you seemed to suggest as the sole perpetrators of slavery. Keep trying to use the go to deflect and shame into silence technique. It's not new and has been used many times before by, people who struggle with their emotions about the fact that slavery is not a one race phenomenon. Are you just coming to the realization of this fact? I'm sorry this is hard to acknowledge when some media amplify one group and down grade, or all out exclude all the facts. Which is almost all societies, civilizations have partook in slavery. Even the Transatlantic Slave Trade. I nor did anyone else try and justify racism of any type. Unless one considers omitting the fact that many, not just one race was responsible. I would agree that that is racist. Again, there is slavery happening right now. Perhaps our feelings can be better focused on this then past atrocities? Or spending our time trying to falsely apply atrocities on one group for whatever the motive to do so is? Do the victims of slavery other than that of "Caucasians" deserve recognition as well? Do the other offenders deserve persecution? Or are they excempt because they are not "Caucasian "? What disservice do we apply to victims of modern slavery by playing the blame game on the past offenders when we should be helping them now?

Yup. Canada going down a dark scary path. When one as educated and intelligent as J.P is threatened with his license, due to a opinion he voiced, very dark path indeed. Canada's far left extremist leader is so far detached from everyday Canadians, he cannot see the authoritarian growing inside of him in which he claims to denounce authoritarians. Nothing like a tyrant that thinks he's the pillar of virtue.

Where as I agree that, how you put it, "hood culture" and the violence associated with it is under reported and down played by MSM and "far right gun extremist" is amplified, I do not think allocating violent crime to respective groups is helpful.

Is this really what we do? Read bad news and automatically question what state it was in? Whether it was blue or red? I've lived and worked both in US and Canada. Although I like my private coverage in the US, there's more to the wait times in Canada. I had a breast tumor. Before the pathology report even came back, as non malignant, I was fast tracked for mastectomy and subsequent chemo and radiation. Naturally, other elective non essential surgeries were delayed. So yes, someone may have to wait for that knee replacement, but it's probably most likely that someone else needing life saving surgery goes first. Need is prioritized, not ability to pay or dependent on private health insurance. Some wait times are long, however I have no complaints from the Healthcare I recieved when I lived in Canada.

Your brother and any person has the right to refuse. Why do so many nurses take this personally and forget that right? Yes. Report it at their supervisory level, then go up from there.

I had my own daughter make unfounded report against me as well. At first I was horrified. However the social worker advised me they have complaints made by children and others all the time in which they can easily discern from a serious child safety issue. It was hard allowing them into my home and asking all sorts of questions but in the end it was open and shut. Most CPS workers are aware of frivolous complaints. Have the release document ready and provide it if you have any issues. Please do not let this child predator off easily. Make reports against them to police and CPS and any other formal institution available! A dropped charge is more serious. Where I live, background checks include police files even if no charges were made. So innocent until proven guilty does not apply in this situation. It mostly depends on how the police filled the complaint. Keep all documentation, get additional references and see what happens. I think you will be fine!

I do not see any minimizing. Only statements alluding to the involvement of others. Not just or even mostly "Caucasians:" in a reply to a comment that suggests that. Slavery is a human condition and has been arround since the dawn of time and practiced by almost all civilizations. A dark time in the development of modern civilizations. A common practice known now for its inherent evil. Something to not forget and something to report accurately. Some ideologies and political movements use slavery as a political talking point which emphasizes certain facts of slavery and minimizes others. Which I would agree is dishonest. I think slavery in all forms is evil and abhorrent. Whether that be the European development of the colonies or the role of Africa in the slave trade and any other whome participated. Perhaps most notable evil is present day slavery when modern civilization now understands how awful slavery truly is. https://www.cs.mcgill.ca/~rwest/wikispeedia/wpcd/wp/h/History_of_slavery.htm

This is false. The links I provided included all perpetrators of slavery. It would seem others became "royalty" and benefitted just as much within their own country and race. It was another member suggesting that it is a "caucasion men" that were at mostly at fault. I provided sources and facts that state otherwise.Doing so does not suggest that I or anyone else is avoiding accountability. The "right wing members" were providing a a fact to an inaccurate belief to the obvious racial discrimination of "caucasions" as the main perpetrators of slavery. Which is a historical inaccuracy. As the sources state. Slavery is a stain on humans. A evil act carried by all who are human. Not by a skin color. Did you know there is still slavery happening right now? In Africa and other places? However not in North America? I think the angry feelings of those who like to express their emotions would be more productive if they focused on modern-day slavery. Instead of attempting to demoralize an entire race by atrocities committed in the past by people who are not alive nor are the people they enslaved. For political gain. (Before you start, my last statement does not in any which way downgrade accountability or the suffering of those who are no longer living). Never forget! But remember it all, not just part of history.

Except you forgot, Portuguese, African and Afghanistan'. "At a time when Americans are again debating how slavery and the Civil War are memorialized, Benin and other West African nations are struggling to resolve their own legacies of complicity in the trade. Benin's conflict over slavery is particularly intense." https://www.washingtonpost.com/world/africa/an-african-country-reckons-with-its-history-of-selling-slaves/2018/01/29/5234f5aa-ff9a-11e7-86b9-8908743c79dd_story.html https://www.statista.com/chart/22057/countries-most-active-trans-atlantic-slave-trade/ https://www.wsj.com/articles/when-the-slave-traders-were-african-11568991595 It seems you have befallen on misinformation.
