Considering two quotes..
"It always amazes me when people express surprise that there might be a "race Problem" in Canada, or when they attribute the "problem" to a minority of prejudiced individuals. Racism is, and always has been one of the bedrock of Canadian society, embedded in the very fabric of our thinking, our personality." -- Adrienne Shadd, Institutionalizing Racism and Canadian History
Quoting from the article Mongrel4u refers to in his post (http://www.ctv.ca/servlet/ArticleNew...=Entertainment )
"Black History Month has roots in historian Carter G. Woodson's Negro History Week, which he designated in 1926 as the second week in February (...). Woodson said he hoped the week could one day be eliminated — when black history would become fundamental to American history."
I hope too that all nationalities and races can all unite. Even if engrained in our history, this way of thinking (racism) should one day be just part of the past (history).
"Free you mind and the rest will follow, be color blind, don't be so shallow..."
