end racists, don’t appease them

This is so vile! This sick, racist verbal assault at Coquitlam Centre mall.

The c/a/n/a/d/a project pretends to be friendly and polite. Sometimes we are nice, but we are rarely kind.

We ignore our, and other genocides.

We are steeped in white patriarchy in our systems, culture, institutions and sport (Hockey Canada rapists included here)

The tri-cities used to be predominantly white decades ago, so it’s no surprise the whites are emboldened to spread their racist filth out loud, in public.

But GENERATIONS ago, the tri-cities was Indigenous land, which is mostly lost on white people despite Coquitlam being an actual Indigenous word. Colonialism is a core, unexamined identity here.

White people: our jobbbbb is to intervene and confront racists we encounter. There are no bystanders, but enablers and appeasers.
