That's okay. It was signed under duress which gives them the right to say F.O. to BLM's unfair demands, but still open to address any other reasonable concerns.
Happy Pride

Instead of piggybacking on Pride's success like a parasite, BLM should create their own parade. I won't attend.

The only reason an Italian might get loud is when an Anglo pisses him off for good reason.
The seemingly free and liberal attitude at all the Pride events impresses me.
It also puzzles me in a certain way.
Although I've never attended live, I get the impression (partially through pics I've seen) that there is more than just the odd bit of nudity on display.
OK, I'm no prude, I don't mind that at all.
My confusion is around what would happen if there was a "straight" parade and some of the participants decided to parade around in the buff?
How would the public react? How about LE?
Just curious.

Pretty big double standard when it comes to the pride parade in that aspect. If I decided to discreetly join a regular parade wearing nothing but a banana hammock, I'm pretty sure they'd bring me to local securities attention PDQ.
I saw on CP24 that our Premier is convening a meeting on systemic racism on July 14. It will be disgraceful if these two founders of BLMTO are part of it given what happened at Pride and their fraudulent and racist past. Who in their right mind thinks that these people speak for the black community?

Like I said. I would love to see them try to pull this at Caribana. I hope they do.
I suspect they will be at Caribana but will not disrupt it. If they do disrupt it and run into trouble it would be ironic if they needed the police to protect them. Imagine the thoughts running through the cops mind if they had to intervene.
A Toronto musician named SIMA XYN claimed she tried to buy a Black Lives Matter shirt and make a donation to the group during Toronto Pride week but was refused service because she is white.
BLM responded on Twitter on Saturday, tweeting that a volunteer told the musician that the “movement shirts are for “Black-identified folks.”
“Denying me service due to my race when I’m showing my support to the Toronto #blacklivematter movement is ironic and killing my human rights,” SIMA XYN tweeted.

If BLM has their way (and they might), Pride will be 100% black. So much for inclusion and diversity, eh.
The LGBT community has done a great job of advancing their cause over many years. They need to build a firewall between themselves and BLMTO
Trudeau, Wynne and Tory should have a short off the record conversation with the Pride organizers.
"If BLM is in the parade in 2017 and future years, we'll won't because we will be spending family time at the cottage." The late great Rob "Best Mayor Ever" Ford is having the last laugh.

There's a fundamental fallacy in this claim. You are ASSUMING that blacks aren't disproportionately involved in crime.
If they are, and there is lots of evidence that they are, then even if police ignore racial factors entirely and act only on objective evidence of criminal involvement, you would expect police to disproportionately stop blacks, even where those stops result in no charges.
It seems you and BLM want the police to stop equal numbers of blacks and whites, even if the whites aren't doing anything suspicious.
In other words, you want random stops of whites doing nothing suspicious and you want blacks to be left alone even where they are in suspicious circumstances, all to meet some absurd quota.
That's just wrong.
Bring back carding. Only criteria ought to be suspicious circumstances and it's quite natural that a group that is heavily involved in crime would be heavily carded.
Not too long ago Jesse Jackson was making the argument that because black folk are incarcerated disproportionately to whites. He suggested that it would be fair if incarceration was based on ethnic proportions of the population. Where to begin with that idea.
