In response to comments about Drew Taylor's globe and mail July 14th apology story
See:
The reality in Canada, that the colour of one’s skin does make a difference when it comes to judging character, disposition, and position in life. Behind the veneer of civilization, everyone is concerned and supposingly educated about co-habitation, living and working together for the common good, but once the door is closed, the perpetuation of racial stereotyping continues in its communal and familial patterning and judgement of the "other' no matter whether he/she is aboriginal multicultural, or eurocentric. As we all are descendants of the formation of different "tribes" which roamed the earth, we all as different tribes developed a lexiconical relation to language on how we described the other, distance nations, trading patterns of goods and currencies, and how we relate, fight and die to protect our lineage, our way of life!. Equality equals colonial meandering, about trade, tribal conquests, and spreading ones tribe over the earth to change the heathen, the infidel, and all other tribes not held bound by the laws of Christendom, the Vatican, and all that comes from the old and new testaments. Read Pagans of a promised land and maybe all will understand why so many morons come out day and night when aboriginal people assert their rights to the land that we live and die on. White, black, yellow and red , the four races, we are all walking in four directions within the four elements during the four seasons all within the sacred circle of Mother Earth. What perpetuated racism is not this article, but the fundamental building blocks of Western Christian society; the education, cultural, social, and political apparatuses of dominant society and families, which in all governs the child, who in turns grows up to make choices about relations and how we get along or not. Mr Taylor writes of many truisms, and his tongue in cheek humor rubbed a few people the wrong way. Some may ask, would this author get published if his skin was more defined towards the aboriginal tint as opposed to his euro-centric background as a mixed aboriginal person of aboriginal and European lineage? And even then some aboriginals will dispute his aboriginalism purely based on the colour of his skin. We are all doomed for failure if we do not live, write and speak from the hear of our Creator, not the heart of our pride, which humanly is bound for failure. White , black, red, and yellow pride is all bound form discord and conflict, if we do not go beyond the colour of our skins and live with the ideals and laws of The Great Creator

One of My Reasons to NOT celebrate Canada Day
See CBC Article
http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/edmonton/story/2012/07/01/edmonton-canada-day-events.html
I am reposting this early post on Fb in relation to Canada Day Events in Redneck Edmonton, AB: Do not celebrate Canada day and never will till Canada resolve their tarred and racist position against Canada’s 1st people, and stop their conservative, liberal , and other euro-centric judges and their condemnation of our people standing b4 them in the courts. I hear these stories all the time form lawyer friends, who see the judges condemning our people regardless of the systemic racism that Native people endure in life resulting in survival tactics that get them in trouble because the politics of dysfuntionality and survival takes over their thinking. With these judges admonishing our people before them regardless of the failed assimilation policies of racist Canada, and that colour of skin does matter when it comes to racism, colonialism, and what defines the success and failure of individuals in dominant capitalist society. Remember Chief Dan George's centennial speech on Canada Day Salish Territory last century. Miigweech
