I had a plan. We were going to move into our 3rd unit on LGBTQ+ history and current issues. Although this is such an important topic to discuss and learn about, the current race-based violence that is occurring in the USA is taking priority at this time. 1. We have discussed, in detail, power and privilege in Unit 1. As a reminder about white privilege please read the file linked below called "unpacking the knapsack" - Carefully examine the 50 daily effects of white privilege that the author has listed. Which 2 stood out the most for you? Why? Send me your thoughts. 2. Please start with the chart below (What I know and What I want to know...about racial profiling). Write your ideas in the chart. It is absolutely fine if this is kind of empty to begin with. 3. Watch the videos linked below and use the racial profiling handout (linked below) to write down examples of racial profiling. The videos explain racial profiling in both the USA and Canada. Can you add anything to your first chart now that you've watched the videos? Send me your chart. **I need you to know that this isn't only happening in the USA - Look up the death of Regis Korchinski-Paquet on google, the case of Colten Boushie or anything to do with the Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women epidemic. Note any similarities you notice between the deaths of black community members in the USA and these Canadian examples - Canada is not exempt from racism*** 4. Read this article: Racism In Canada Is Ever Preset from the Huffington Post 5. Find a song that speaks to you and your 'activist/protest' personality. Send me a link to the song. Here's mine: The Cranberries-Zombie 6. Optional - attend the Black Lives Matter peaceful gathering on June 4th at 12:00 in the part beside the Old School Eatery. Practice safe social distancing, wear a mask and stay peaceful.
