Can you give a brief synopsis?
Not going o click.
CBC racist explains why racism against white people is the good racism.
Thanks, as long as they are on the right track.
Heh.
@Lev Nepalese immigrant says “people of colour” — the overwhelming majority of the world population — should resist indoctrination by Canadian white settlers.
As an immigrant from Nepal and a person of colour in Canada, there is a lot to learn about and from Indigenous culture and history so that my ideas about Canada as a country are not solely dependent on settler colonial imaginations and perspectives. But that learning has been a challenge for most of the fellow Nepalis in Canada that I have spoken to, partly due to the lack of institutional resources that are immediately available or obvious to immigrants.
He has since learned that:
Indigenous women used cedar barks “for baby diapers and bedding, sanitary napkins, and towels” due to their softness and absorbability.
I’m sure he and his wife are eager to try out some amazingly soft cedar barks for all these purposes, just as the indigenous people are still doing to this day.
The only thing this Nepalese immigrant has in common with the 400 million or so Indigenous people around the world, and the other 7 billion or so “people of colour”, is that their skin colour is not white. As Tucker Carlson asks in this video, how is “person of colour” a meaningful category?
What does a Polynesian tuna fisherman have in common with a Bolivian coca farmer, or a foundry worker in central China — for that matter with Kamala Harris?
Well, not really anything except that they’re not white.
That’s a pretty ominous way to define a huge group of people if you think about it. In fact it’s a racist way to define a huge group of people. Everyone who’s white is not the same and only an entitled white liberal could believe otherwise. No normal person could ever think that.

It’s a euphemism for “coloured”.
Never under-estimate the left’s bigotry.
Yes, all it means is “not white”. Lumping “people of colour” and whites in two separate groupings implies that whites are different from everyone else. Of course they mean whites are not only dissimilar but worse since they’re all evil racists. Except for the enlightened ones of course
instead he wants to learn from the indigenous propagandists who paper over all of the bad things like war, slavery, cannibalism, etc…
Don’t care
Prepping the next generation for transfer of wealth. No matter how successful you are independently, the government is going to come after you for your wealth through ever-increasing taxes, in order to give it to the natives. After all, it is your civic duty to pay for the needs of others, who are unable to furnish for their own needs because, you know… “systemic racism.”
And don’t you dare challenge it, or complain about it. You will have nothing left on your own, and you will be happy!
That’s an order!
Methinks that Kate should republish the rules for commentators that she established many years ago. Why should anyone ask the hostess to do what the reader is either to lazy to do or would not understand anyway.
No need Spike. Other readers knew that the question was an honest one and provided an answer.
Even without going to the link, it made me think of “what would they likely say?” and that was enough to prompt a snort of laughter. I didn’t click the link, but it turns out my guess was pretty close. To me the provocation of the question was the main reason to ask it, not the receiving of an answer.
Your mileage may vary.
Let’s talk about who actually roamed the plains of Saskatchewan before the white man.
The area of Saskatchewan formed part of Rupertsland, deeded to the Hudson Bay Company in 1670. Explorers reviewed the lands starting in the 1640’s.
The Gros Ventre tribe travelled the prairie plains for many years. It was an ocean of grass. They even traded with the HBC at South Branch House in what is now known as Saskatchewan. South Branch House was located a few miles north of Batoche.
The Cree were brought in by the HBC to push the Gros Ventre out of Saskatchewan. The Gros Ventre settled in Montana.
Cree history says they came to Saskatchewan in the mid 1700’s. The timeframe fits the story:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/South_Branch_House
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gros_Ventre
I don’t see any basis for the idea that the HBC “brought in” the Cree. The Cree had expanded their range to the northern edge of the Canadian Shield around the 1480’s, and had been in the country for about four generations by the time the first Europeans arrived, and for about 200 years by the time the fur trade began. They carried on most of the trade because they were perfectly situated for it, and pretty good at it.
I hate to quibble because you do have an important point. None of the natives in Manitoba and Saskatchewan had been established in the country for more than a hundred years when the first Europeans arrived. It’s not like Alberta where the Blackfoot have been established for millennia.
Stupid Nepalese prick doesn’t seem to realize that as a hyphenated Canadian, he’s hated by We Were Here First Nations.
Over 400,000 new fuckers here this year. When are the Indians going to after PM Shithead and the Libranos?
This ingrate immigrant should look in the mirror and recognize that the person he sees is a “settler”. But not an early settler working under harsh conditions just to survive and through generations of vision and hard work, make this country wealthy. This new settler comes here because the hard bits are mostly done and it is a more safe, comfortable and desirable place to live than his homeland. But why am I not surprised that university indoctrination in anthropology has blinded him to reality.
Agreed. If he really wants to strike a blow against European based societies then he should stop using anything produced by those societies. Like electricity. Anything shipped on rail or using internal combustion engines. Anything grown using modern (aka industrialized) farming. Anything made from modern (aka industrialized) mining, smelting, refining, and manufacturing techniques.
If he can survive in Canada following all those rules then yes, he is a settler. Since he won’t, he’s much more likely a whiny parasite.
Oops, I just looked at the picture and assumed it was a “he”. Ingrate was a she, not a he, not that it makes any difference to my point.
Cedar bark looks like rough sisal cord. Why wouldn’t they use moss like all the other Indians?
Are we sure Indian kids didn’t just run around bare assed – at least in the summer?
That’s stupid. 40 years ago I was taught all that stuff. All the different indian cultures, tribes, how they lived , what they lived in, where in the US they lived. We learned about the brutality of the Conquestadors, the plagues that decimated so many of the tribes, the brutal idol worship of the Aztecs, as well as the kindness of so many of the tribes to the settlers. There is so much history in this land, and the last 400 years is such a small piece of it. But that back when they taught History.
Can we all agree at this point that the aforementioned column, and many like them, are psychological operations?
We get it elected officals; you have an agenda to follow if you want that next pay cheque, promotion, consideration or pension. You’ve become so dependent on the globalist teat that you dare not pull away for fear of how it will hurt your “brand”.
Eradicating or undermining white people’s contributions to society changes nothing. For when you’ve bred them out of existence, you’ll need a new enemy and, last I checked, people, in general, irrespective of skin colour, don’t tend to get along. What then CBC?
Feel free to leave, Bicram.
Then explain to your non-sex-selection-aborted daughter why Hindus, Buddhists and Muslims don’t get along.
CBC just doing their job: Creating hatred of whitey.
Too bad none of Trudeau’s harem girl media have the integrity to call them on it.
Back to Nepal with you, sunshine. You obviously don’t belong here.
This is part of the plan. To remake Canada as a socialist society ruled by an unaccountable elite they must first sever our connection to a history of liberty and independence. This is why they use indigenous issues to poison our past. A people with no memory of the past will not object when someone determines their future.
He’d be quite pleased with the members publication from one of the professional associations I’m registered with.
Its last issue was concerned about “truth and reconciliation” (yeah, that T & R). Every article, aside from the regular columns, was concerned with being nice to Indians. One was about “ten things one must not say to an aboriginal” (including, apparently, saying “good for you” to one who earned a university degree).
BADR:
“good for you” would be patronizing wouldn’t it.
Perhaps I’m too sensitive but decades ago one day while I was jogging some nice jock clown shouted out to me “good for you”.
It make me feel especially good — more like a schmuck.
And, pray tell, is there discrimination in Nepal’s history?
“The Nepalese caste system was the traditional system of social stratification of Nepal. The Nepalese caste system broadly borrows the classical Hindu Chaturvarnashram model, consisting of four broad social classes or varna: Brahmin, Kshatriya, Vaishya, Sudra.
The caste system defines social classes by a number of hierarchical endogamous groups often termed jaat. ”

So in addition to being an ingrate, he is also a hypocrite – exactly the type of “new” Canadian that the Dear Leader wants to re-populate Canada with.
I didn’t click on it because I don’t read or follow anything CBC. The only thing I can say to this ingrate immigrant since Canada is no more, is, “thank you for your opinion now pay your taxes so I can get ‘free healthcare’, CPP and retire”. In the words of David Dingwall and the mantra of every Liberal, ” I’m entitled to my entitlements.”
At least when the world turns to **it, they can’t blame whitey, none of them will remember us or the great civilizations or inventions we had.
This sanctimonious idiot came to Canada precisely because it was settled by whites. Canada is a developed, prosperous and democratic country only because Europeans came and built it. If this moron is so concerned about the evils of white settlers, he should have emigrated to Amazon jungles or New Guinea where native tribes unopressed by colonialism still use tree bark for diapers, toilet paper and tampons.
I was talking to an Indian last fall who told me he was hitch hiking in Saskatchewan and a semi stopped to pick him up.
He pulled the door open and the Asian driver said, “Mexican or Indigenous?”
The Indian said, “Indigenous.”
“Get in,” said the driver, “I love your culture.”
And that is how it is. The Indians have found new allies.
