You don't know the half of it. I could make a whole thread about the hosed up race relations here in Canada. Canadian history is a long story about a country's quest to get rid of the First Nations, or failing that, at least getting them out of sight. The short version is that First Nations in Canada are the rough equivalent of blacks in the States (Ghettoization, high incarceration rate, incredibly high suicide rate, reservations without running water, and so on), and we are just as insane about Muslims. Of course, the only reason the modern United States isn't quite so anti First Nations is because they killed enough for them not to be considered a threat to the average rich white guy.

Similarly, Alexander Pushkin, who is considered to be the greatest Russian poet of all time if not the greatest Russian writer. Wikipedia says his great-grandfather was brought over from Africa, so that makes him 1/4 of African descent, right? I never read him, but a professor of mine specialized in his work and mentioned that his heritage was pretty well known and people often made fun of his lips. In response, he dueled people all the time.

Goodness, an important part of western culture being influenced by Africa?! UNSPEAKABLE.

What ethnically separates the "Canadian" bits from the "English" and "French"?

Is there any evidence that their African heritage influenced their creative output in any meaningful way, though, other than people making fun of what are not entirely rare features for non-African-heritaged Europeans? I'm probably at least 1/8 Latvian, but if I ever got famous and Latvians started claiming me as their own I'd be more than a little bit annoyed.

Is Aurini an actual name or did he make that poo poo up? It sounds like a god drat dungeons and dragons wizard name. What a stupid manchild.

If your goal is to educate people outside of Canada, you're more of an insider than probably 95% of the thread.

As an obnoxious arrogant cowboy American, I have always been really curious about how Canada understands and deals with both race and racism. Like, how does Aurini get along with his fellow citizens? I have heard that there are vocal MRA groups at universities there, which shocks the poo poo out of me because even Americans at school shout that down or just don't know about it. Is he part of a larger domestic culture of urban racists?

And what about hate speech laws? What would it take to get him censored or fined?

Feminism is Poison!!!! OMG

quote:

Feminism is a destructive force in American society

Blogger Matt Walsh, contributor to The Blaze, put it best: “feminism is poison.” It has done nothing less than destroy the heart of our nation — but that didn’t stop University of Idaho President Chuck Staben from proclaiming his undying support for it.
Andrew Jenson

Recently, Staben wore a shirt with the phrase “This is what a feminist looks like” printed on it when he spoke to Women’s Studies students. He said he’s been a feminist for a long time. He said his definition of feminism means valuing and respecting women as individuals. He added, “Women have a right not to be assaulted, to earn the same salaries as men (and) to resume a place of equality in society.”

This all sounds nice on the surface. However, as shocking as this declaration is, what does it say about anything? Other than that Staben is good at winning political points, it says nothing. This is the same ridiculous nonsense our generation has been spoon-fed since birth.

One doesn’t have to be a feminist to believe women should be respected and shouldn’t be assaulted or treated unfairly. Does one have to be a masculinist to believe men shouldn’t be assaulted or treated badly? Of course not, because such a person believes in equality under the law.

Despite Staben’s sentiments, feminism isn’t about equality or justice. Feminism is about hatred of womanhood. That which makes women unique and beautiful, feminism tears down as vile and degenerate.

Generally, feminists champion causes like sexual freedom and reproductive rights, which have been the detriment of women and the family unit. In their fear of true womanhood, feminists have desecrated that which is good.

For example, the ability to conceive life — a truly remarkable gift — is turned into a burden and curse on a woman’s career or life choices by feminism. A child turns into an inconvenience or a pest that must be avoided in the name of equality and fairness. Those aligned with feminism proclaim no one can tell a woman what to do in these situations — especially if she doesn’t desire the hindrance within her belly.

This hatred of womanhood stems from marriage and our society’s great misunderstanding of it. Since the time of Elizabeth Cady Stanton, women’s suffragists and feminists in America have done everything in their power to dissolve marriage — the sacred institution in which true womanhood is fully realized. People like Stanton saw marriage as it is often seen now — a means for men to enslave women and hold ultimate power over them.

During her speech entitled “Marriage and Divorce,” Stanton commented on marriage and stated, “When husbands and wives do not own each other as property, but are bound together only by affection, marriage will be a life-long friendship, and not a heavy yoke from which both may sometimes long for deliverance.”

What an unfortunate understanding of marriage. Yet, we see this view embraced so highly today and it continues to harm our nation. It encourages men and women to function as two, rather than work together as one in a life-long bond.

Feminism works to further this divide. It seeks to separate and destroy the very foundation of civilization, the family — and it has succeeded. According to a 2012 Pew Research poll, marriage is “being replaced by cohabitation, single-parent households and other living arrangements.” This downturn of marriage has all the makings of an anarchistic society.

Feminist views reflect the shallowness of our generation and in the process trample the family — society’s richest treasure.

Are your friends going for like a Biff-from-the-bad-timeline look too? Because that would actually be pretty boss. Your friends would also probably need to stuff way less newspaper into the shoulders of their blazers than this guy, although his dad probably only lets him play dress-up with the old ones he doesn't need any more.

Much like that one other guy with his untouched cigarettes and scotch, he probably doesn't enjoy the act of smoking, but carries a cigar as a prop anyway just so people know for sure just how goddamn manly and old fashioned he is.
