Why are Black People always complaining? Why don't they just get with it and move on?
We often hear these responses when Black community members express their pain caused by various forms of anti-black racism. Why is there so little empathy for Black pain?
The diminishment of Black pain, and the unwillingness to hear and empathize with Black people both have roots in the historical experience of Blacks in Canada. This presentation examines the roots of anti-Black racism, and reveals the barriers Blacks faced over the centuries in their quest to achieve equality and inclusion within diverse institutions in Canada, including the academy, and in society as a whole.
