It Is Official Premier Dalton McGunity Is A Racist He Will Not Fund Black Focus Schools!

Well, it looks like the black community in Toronto needs to keep a close eye on the Premier of Ontario Dalton McGunity. Premier McGuinty says he is against black focus schools and he will not provide funding for black focus schools. According to statistics 40% of black teens in the city of Toronto are dropping out of school! Only 5.2% of the teachers in the greater Toronto area are black even though the largest concentration of blacks in Canada live in Canada’s largest city. At the executive level only 9.6% of the principals and vice principals are black. The people teaching, creating rules and regulations for black students are not of African descent and obviously don’t understand the needs and concerns of the black race. It is clear the anti black racism is entrenched and institutionalized. For far too long black Canadians we just accept Canada’s racism and bigotry and just go with the flow.

It is obvious black children are encountering alienation.People scream the scapegoat about segregation yet ignore the fact segregation already exists. We have done nothing for far too long. I am sick and tired of those black Canadian cowards that are so afraid of rising up against racism. Let the cowards sit while the rest of us speak out about oppression against the black race in Canada. We cannot allow black children to fade away. Black kids are becoming disillusioned by a supremacist racist education system that ignores black contributions to Canada. And please don’t preach to me about black history month there is more to black history in the African Diaspora then the under ground railroad, Martin Luther King, and slavery.

Black kids are becoming depressed, unhappy, having feelings of hopelessness, despair and nobody cares. People wonder why crime is a big issue. Guess what people, when children feel alienated they act out and become a problem to society. The psychological effects of institutionalized racism is so powerful but of course in lame ass Canada we ignore the mental side of oppression.

It is so pathetic that people are trying to compare Afrocentric schools to faith base schools. There are clear differences. The Afrocentric schools will help black children achieve so they can advance in society.Toronto is a racist city everyone knows this fact but Canadians are so pretentious there is always this covert racist attitude to state sponsored bigotry.

It is obvious to the discerning eye that the current education system is flawed and not working for some black children. The question remains why? It is also clear Premier Dalton McGunity, the Liberal Party, and some racist bigots will attempt to use black children as scapegoats to advance their own racist anti black agenda. Canada is a racist country and the pernicious attitude of Premier Dalton McGunity underscores this. It is obvious that Premier McGunity doesn’t care about black children succeeding and advancing in Canadian society.

Now this number of 40% of black teens dropping out of school is horrendous it is absolutely shocking and scary! We are in a crisis here! We want a solution so why is Premier Dalton McGunity trying to stop black progress? Is anyone really surprised with McGunity’s racist anti black attitude? McGuinty is now in his second term as Premier of the province of Ontario. The scare tactics of some media outlets about segregation is not going to work. Black children are already segregated by racist teachers, and racist anti black curriculum. I cannot blame some black kids for being sick and tired of reading about white Canadian history or about European culture. What does European culture got to do with the black race anyway? Why can’t black kids learn about black history beyond black history month?

People need to know Canada is not some multicultural paradise the racist attitudes of the white Canadian majority against black Canadians has been growing for years. What has this man Premier Dalton McGuinty ever done about the education crisis in Toronto? Absolutely nothing! If Premier McGuinty had taken the concerns of the Toronto District School Board and black educators more seriously perhaps the drastic step of opening a black focus school wouldn’t be necessary.

Dalton McGuinty is the Premier of the province of Ontario his racist comments are absolutely abhorrent and disgraceful. Why is Premier McGunity so scared about one black focus school being opened in Toronto to help black children? Could it be because black Canadians we want to uplift our children that suddenly some white Canadians want to hold us back? Should we just go with the flow and watch more black children be disillusioned and drop out of school?

Black Canadians need to be paying close attention to Premier McGunity’s comments because he is exhibiting the blatant racist and pernicious attitudes that are powerful. Racist bigots will read and discern the real underlining message the Premier of Ontario is saying that the black community concerns don’t matter. We are not going to sit and wait any longer for black focus schools!

The current education system in the province of Ontario is flawed doesn’t Premier Dalton McGuinty get it? Or perhaps Premier Dalton McGunity doesn’t care? Black educators and other education experts have sounded the alarm for years there are serious flaws in the Ontario education system. Premier McGunity’s perspective is so sick it makes me want vomit right on his face.

I find Premier Dalton McGuinty’s racist attitude not surprising but also chilling and deleterious. Whenever black Canadians want to improve ourselves some white Canadian people always want to set up a road block or a detour. Some white Canadians want to impede our progress. The racist haters scream about segregation even though black children are already discriminated against with a racist curriculum, racist teachers, and racist hiring standards.

Isn’t this interesting, so Premier McGunity doesn’t mind taxpayers money paying for Catholic schools but a school to help a disadvantaged group he ignores. Why the hell should taxpayers money go to paying for Catholic schools and not one black school? There are thousands of Catholic Schools in the province of Ontario why are we funding them? The uproar is about one black focus school that is going to open in September 2009.

I think the sinister, racist, and subversive message Premier Dalton McGuinty is sending is that he once again wants to treat black people concerns as the other. Why is all this racist hysteria emerging now? I think the truth of the matter is Premier Dalton McGunity’s attitude isn’t really about opening a black focus school. The racist attitude is that black Canadians we should just accept our fate as being the other and keep our mouths shut. Well we aren’t going to be quiet we are going to rise up!

Does anyone remember May 2007? Well here is a reminder. Black Canadian people need to remember Premier Dalton McGunity is the same man that supported the Jews in May 2007 and blocked a black American speaker from talking to black youth. Black Canadians should be paying close attention to the subliminal destructive messages Premier Dalton McGunity is sending which I believe are abhorrent and racist.

I have a serious problem with the Premier’s statement because obviously Premier McGuinty doesn’t give a damn about the welfare of black children. The reason the Toronto District School Board decided to agree to black focus schools is because a disproportionate amount of black children are dropping out of school. Black children encounter racism and apathy from racist teachers, racist principals, racist education system that creates a pathology and marginalize them.

    I think it is easy to point the finger at Dalton McGuinty and call him a racist, even though there are many other factors which hinder black Canadians from accessing the benefits of our education system. I truly dont believe that Afrocentric schools are the best solution to this problem, they are a superficial and short term fix to a problem that requires substantial solutions towards equality. Public schools have stripped learning down to a bare minimum where maths, science, and anglo-canadian history are stressed. By avoiding teaching or even offering subjects such as world religion, black history, arts, philosophy, home economics, this system fails to provide children with a well rounded education and practical knowledge that they will need to succede in the real world. In the real world, we have to learn to be acceping of others differences and we must be able to live in peace with eachother regardless of race, sex, class, etc. The public school system as of now is not sending this message, and it is no wonder that there are few black or minority teachers in our public schools. But the main reason why i am opposed to the idea of black focused schools is that I believe that ALL Canadian children should also be educated about the needs, struggles and prejudices faced by minorities, as that will be key to abolishing racist government policies in the future. However Dalton McGuintys government should either partially fund all private or faith based schools, or none. By chosing to fund only Catholic schools he does indeed show where his priorities lie.

    Well lets see, If there were to be an all black school then why not an all Chinese, Japanese, Korean, Jewish, Hindu, Gay etc oh but if a white person was to ask for an all white school that would be considered racist. Where would the line be drawn. We need more funding for the schools we have now we don’t need to take funding away and cripple the system more. If Mr. McGunity were to fund an all black school then I would consider him a racist. This would be a plan for the future. To have an all white school because every ethinic group would have their own school and the poor white children would be by them selves just the way he would have planned.

    People of Canada get a grip. We should not be separating each other by race by putting a label on individuals we need to work together for the futur. LETS KEEP MOVING FORWARD NOT BACKWARDS.

    The only thing backwards I see the attitude of Premier McGunity and his arrogant racist attitude. There is a major difference between Faith base schools and Afrocentric schools. Afrocentric schools are needed when 40% of black teens in Toronto are dropping out and not graduating high school. Nobody seems to care about the black kids that are being alienated by a racist education system. The black children are not being challenged or interested in school. I can’t say I blame the black children when all black kids learn about is the horrors of slavery and learn about white European history and culture. Black kids are forced to read racist books such as Harper Lee’s “To Kill A Mockingbird” and learn about white Canadian culture. Also the black kids dropping out were born in Canada.

    There already is all white schools the government funds and it is called the Catholic Schools. The majority of the students that attend Catholic Schools are white and plenty of these kids have Italian and Portuguese heritage. The Toronto District School Board already funds alternative schools for Gay students and First Nation students. I don’t know if you already know this fact. Also, when 40% of black teens are dropping out of school this is a crisis something needs to be done ASAP.

    The Person that wrote this article needs to understand that there are other races other than black people. Yes black people aren’t getting Afrocentric schools but many other races aren’t getting schools of their races either. I may also agree, yes many people are racist towards coloured people but, that does not only mean that they are racist to black people. I’m sure that McGunity isn’t racist but think about it, if all the races in Canada wanted a school of their race then how would the government fund it. Would there even be enough people to fill the schools? Think about it. If every race in Canada had their own school, wouldn’t that increase discrimination and racism rather than decrease it.

    Oppression,my a**!!!!It’s that the disgusting,gangsta,”keepin’ it real”
    ethos has crossed the 49th Parallel into Maple Leaf Land.
    For example,when people ask me if I’d like to be young today,I say,”HEELLLLL,NOOOOOOOOO!”,because how do you think I,who is classically handsome,loves Country music and heavy metal rather than(C)rap,speaks with
    a working-class braying tenor rather than a deeper,”urban-inflected”(read:
    “black-sounding”)voice,LOVES buxom blondes and has a 154 IQ would be viewed
    by other black kids today at 16,as I was in ’69?
    Screw “black-focused schools”;that’s just another way of avoiding the fact that we black Canucks must strive for success and not worry about
    these mountebank so-called “leaders” who want us to justify our striving for success and if we speak correctly,are telegenic,intelligent and
    dignified,call us “sell-outs” and “Oreos”(black outside,white inside.)

    And,you phony,there are about 20 orders of magnitude LESS RACISM in Canada
    (and here in Windsor,Ont.)than when I was a high school student 40 years ago,but then,black kids weren’t told by sleaze like you to self-segregate and navel-gaze rather than compete for our rightful place in CANADA as does every other group.
