Tantrika said: City of Montréal found to have neglected dealing with issues of systemic racism and discrimination while having spent most focus on integrating immigrants
am not sure if the press conference is over or not yet, the news site still had it listed as Live so more information may come out ... https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/montreal/ocpm-systemic-racism-report-1.5610701
They seem to have embdeded statements from the mayor and police in to the existing article so rather than requote the whole lot of it, some of the relevant additions appear to be:
Quote:
In response to the findings, Plante said she would introduce a motion later at city council today to "formally recognize" systemic racism, appoint a commissioner to counter racism, hire more minorities to public posts and improve accountability among the Montreal police service.
"I want you to know that Montreal is a city where every Montrealer is entitled to have their dignity respected," she said at a news conference Monday.
"I'm firmly committed to implementing systemic solutions to these systemic problems without delay, because there is no time to lose."
Quote:
Montreal police Chief Sylvain Caron, facing pressure following the protests in recent weeks, said recently the Montreal police (SPVM) was committed to eliminating any practice of racial profiling.
He said the SPVM will announce a policy for street checks next month, on July 8, in response to a report last year that found black and Indigenous people were four and five times more likely to be stopped by police and asked to identify themselves.
On Monday, Mayor Plante said that "given their law enforcement power, it is clear our collective expectation of them is higher."

I’m not racist, however I’m not politically correct. The people that gave me zero ratings were clearly idealogues.
It’s just page after page of you complaining how people treat you. You are exceptionally fragile.

Man, I came here to read up on the failing CHAZ
Much dissapoint
To get back on topic
How much money would be considered enough to pay off this so called white guild?
$10.000 for each African American?
$100.000?
No black taxes for 3 generations?
Is there any general consensus about this in the "movement"?

Awesome
It was a serious question actually. Is there a consensus on the amount of money deemed enough to "even the playing-field" so to speak?

Policies and tax reform designed to lift up the lower and middle class as a whole, and provide better education for their children, would be a far more beneficial form of reparations than trying to track down who actually had slaves as ancestors and throw a couple checks at them. Neither will actually happen though, if we're speaking about the U.S. We voted out any candidate that would support those things.

Movements based on racial/ethnic injustices aren't interested in an even playing field. They seek economic and social revenge, in other words, they seek to turn the tables around and desire the same power they lacked in the first place.
An even playing field doesn't make people that feel oppressed feel better about the situation, only a reversal of chairs at the table accomplishes that task.

I get that feeling as well
Are people coming out and actually stating that in any organized way?

How would we pay for something overblown like that if only there were some overpaid organization that could be defunded and redirected to services that level the playing field

I have a shit job with an equally pathetic wage (I work in a mailroom for fuck's sake), I live in an old piece of shit apartment (with a shared balcony) that was built in the 50's, I live in a high crime zip code and my car is a dozen years old, has cloth seats and I can't even hook up my phone to my radio so I can't jam ICP "miracles" on the way to work.
I think they'd be pretty fuckin underwhelmed and disappointed if they got to trade places with me
