Miscellaneous
Finally coming to you with our much-promised episode talking about the Masai carding incident that happened immediately after the Raptors won the NBA championship. We recap the incident and go over some of the reactions from both media and fans. We then get into an important discussion about misguided Canadian exceptionalism and how Canada often sees a lot of the same racist incidents we see in the US. Some of the articles discussed in the pod: Raptors victory: Feel-good multiculturalism masks reality of anti-Black racism in Canada: https://theconversation.com/raptors-victory-feel-good-multiculturalism-masks-reality-of-anti-black-racism-in-canada-118942?fbclid=IwAR0QnW9kXqFAZ30Zbv0JQEQw4hCei_nYlUkEd2WK5wGnjimdE96pDaUMHPY The racial profiling of Masai Ujiri: https://www.macleans.ca/opinion/the-racial-profiling-of-masai-ujiri/?fbclid=IwAR2dV-UrhQkD4DrX8Gqgw0JgPwbY6_RdwDv26kiKTkhV1xiGxqxZCdWTxY4 People to follow on Twitter: @DesmondCole @BLM_TO @nooneisillegal
