Racial Reckoning...Someday?

Trudeau was so eloquent:

“We all watch in horror and consternation what’s going on in the United States,” he finally said. “It is a time to pull people together, but it is a time to listen. “It is a time to learn what injustices continue despite progress over years and decades. But it is a time for us as Canadians to recognize that we, too, have our challenges,” he said. “That black Canadians and racialized Canadians face discrimination as a lived reality every single day,” Trudeau continued. “There is systemic discrimination in Canada, which means our systems treat Canadians of color, Canadians who are racialized, as differently than they do others.”

We have a log distance to reckoning with the pervasive social structures that seem, so often, to lead to death under hasty judgement.
