I think the way race has been spoken about right now is through a very americanized lens

No race has a monopoly on oppression

You're suppose to apologies for your "privilege" & put yourself behind everyone. Those deemed with the most oppression is given moral authority. No longer examining soundness of your argument or content of character, identity is stressed on maximizing power.

"Once everyone is no longer colour blind, everyone becomes focused and obsessed with colour."
Tackling real race issues is still valid, but but don't divide others on race, focus on uniting!

A society that takes notice and action on animal cruelty is one that can lead a society closer to protects it's most vulnerable from a multitude of facets.

We have to completely reimagine our broken food system—and that means putting an end to factory farming. The future calls for a transition to more sustainable agriculture practices that are better for farmers, consumers, animals, and our environment.

Cancel culture is used by those who are thin skin, avoid critical thinking & refuse discussions. If your aim is progress you must learn to discuss hard & uncomfortable topics, you don't get that by silencing others.

Fighting racism with racism is like trying to put out a fire with gas. It will perpetuate more anger and hate rather than achieving solutions towards safety, equality, harmony, and peaceful coexistence.

Anger can be a productive place to occasionally visit, because it can make us productive, it can spark ideas and creativity, but it can't be a final resting place. - @ayishat_akanbi

Anger is blinding.

People justify their wrong actions due to the heat of the moment.

We need to learn to see without the red screen.

@SKLynx2 @ForSoohyun I think the question becomes do we sacrifice the rights of a small minority to benefit a majority, or respect everyone equally? Personally I wouldn't want my rights ignored regardless if I'm a minority or not, but I know other ppl disagree so something to think about 🤔

[BYC @B_Your_Change]

@SKLynx2 @ForSoohyun The indigenous people are focused on trying to preserve & live off the land. They feel it's all they have left from their ancestors & I think it's also about defending the principle to be recognized they own the land. Those might be some reasons they refuse to meet with anyone...

[BYC @B_Your_Change]

@SKLynx2 @ForSoohyun Indigenous ppl are forced to take steps in court & prove they own the land, which is difficult since a lot of them lack funding. The gov has the upper hand since it's not officially settled on paper, so in the mean time they treat the land like it's theirs until proven otherwise.

[BYC @B_Your_Change]

@SKLynx2 @ForSoohyun I think this is where the issue is. The government doesn't have paperwork to say it's theirs, so naturally you'd think the indigenous ppl would be recognized to own the land. But they don't have it written down on paper either, so the gov is treating the land like a wild west...

@SKLynx2 @ForSoohyun ...Because of this Indigenous from BC are still fighting for the recognition of their land since they never agreed to any treaty, and feel the pipeline is invading their territory since they never gave permission to build.

[BYC @B_Your_Change]

@SKLynx2 @ForSoohyun To your first question: BC is in a unique situation, the indigenous ppl across Canada have signed off their land to the crown & agree to own their reserves, except BC. They are the only province who hasn't done this so that's why indigenous people still own a majority of land...

Strong words but must agree, we need to critically think what we should progress away from, specifically if it involves harming others. Certain things are worth losing regardless of "tradition". #MoveToABetterFuture #CriticallyThink #Progression #TraditionIsNoExcuse

Latinos include Asian descendants. During the period of 1908 in Japan, poverty drove many Japanese farmers to look overseas in search of a new life, particularly in the Americas. It was in São Paulo's coffee plantations where the community thrived. #Latina #Latino #LatinoHistory
