canadian mainstream television has rarely trusted black people to give our own opinions unfiltered, unedited, without a reporter. this privilege has been reserved for angry, racist, white male grandpa types
as these dudes fade, spaces for solo TV commentary fade with them
@dontmukwith51 @ov71toskala @JesseSebastiani@NelkFilmz@KyleForgeard I'm hoping that maybe they're just struggling to find the right words to say. It's a difficult conversation, but speaking out is definitely the responsible thing to do. They have massive influence that could seriously help make a positive change, and I hope they realize that.
@TropHawaii@Dreapers03@905shooter He blocked me too. Here I thought we could have an intelligent and open conversation about racism. Great example here of ignorance and white privilege. Guess this is the fanbase that @NelkFilmz wants? #blacklivesmatter
@TropHawaii@Dreapers03@905shooter It might not be their fault, but their silence on this matter is certainly not helping. I would hope that they recognize their influence.
WOW MAN!! 🤦🏾♂️. Is it still surprising at this point. Sure isn’t! You literally still don’t understand why Kap was kneeling on one knee?? Has absolute nothing to do with the disrespect of 🇺🇸 and our soldiers(men and women) who keep our land free. My father-in-law was one of those
@ov71toskala @dontmukwith51@JesseSebastiani@NelkFilmz@KyleForgeard "90% of their fan base is white teenagers"
All the more reason to speak out then. Does losing racist subscribers outweigh the fight against racism?
If so, what does that say about the brand?
I wrote out some thoughts on how to make this moment a real turning point to bring about real change––and pulled together some resources to help young activists sustain the momentum by channeling their energy into concrete action. https://t.co/jEczrOeFdv
Whether you're in America or here at home in Canada I need you to hear this:
Black lives matter.
Indigenous lives matter.
Justice matters.
And we must demand it.
George Floyd 💔
Regis Korchinski-Paquet 💔
Stewart Kevin Andrews 💔
And in memory of too many others.
