What I have been taught about racism in the West is that it is a one way street - always caused by whites. One day I would like to find some of these racist white people, but unfortunately they're pretty rare which is exactly the opposite of what our media tells us. | It seems like you are still missing the point on what this toastmaster lady is saying. I don't know what nationality you are but if your forefathers were slaves or if they tried to get a job but were passed up due to the color of their skin or last name I think you'd clap a little harder.
People try to deny slavery, mistreatment of our native Americans and going to the extent of saying racism is over. How could one say that when you see unarmed black people get shot, homeless native people etc. Do people really think because residential schools were so long ago that it doesn't affect future generations?

I don't believe the BLM narrative. One thing can be certain is that the Liberal agenda is to keep them believing their victims to vote Democrat.

One day I would like to find some of these racist white people, but unfortunately they're pretty rare which is exactly the opposite of what our media tells us. | I don't know where to start...I think you have a skewed reality on race and society. It almost seems like you want to be included in OTHER peoples' dialogues and experiences on racism. You roll your eyes because she is speaking about her personal experiences and they don't align with yours? How could they? I grew up in the same culture as you and I was never taught that only white people can be racist. I was taught that PEOPLE, including myself, can be racist.
As alluded to by Berz earlier, race is the most extrinsic and immutable human characteristic. I don't believe someone can change their race and therefore one certainly cannot speak on behalf of another race and talk about racist experiences they might encounter.
Your thought process seems very narrow minded to me. You believe the media is the one who is fueling racist sentiments and making us believe that there are indeed many racists living among us when in reality your claiming the "Racist white person" is a scarce as the Sasquatch. Why don't you take 5 minutes and read through this thread alone as many members of this forum, coming from different ethnic backgrounds and generations, with no agendas have shared their experiences with racism.
The whole "you know white people aren't the only racists" argument makes no sense at all unless someone says "all white people are racist" or "white people are always the one being racist." I should be able to tell an encounter about a racist experience without having to include "oh by the way, white people can also experience racism." People should be able to share their experiences without having to be worried that someone is going to think they're pointing a finger at them. If that's how you end up feeling, that's on you and your conscious (guilty or not).

I'm on the fence about whipping out your phone on someone who's already very disgruntled. If you feel you need the evidence because some shit went down then I can totally get it. If you're doing it just because you want to show your friends what an asshole someone is being then you also accept the risk that this person might be crazy and it will set them off even more.
Just something to think about when you decide to put yourself in that situation, are you prepared if an altercation ensues or that the person might just try and take your phone if you have something on them?

| Quote: Charges approved in racially-charged viral video in Abbotsford
Police in Abbotsford now say 47-year-old Karry Vernon Corbett of Hope has been charged with several offences including two counts of assault, one count of Uttering Threats and one count of Causing a Disturbance.
However, police have yet to find Corbett. They say a warrant has been issued for his arrest. “Shortly after that video was recorded, the witness made contact with the APD and then we began our investigation. We identified the suspect, then ultimately forwarded a report to Crown Counsel,” explains Constable Ian MacDonald.
He adds the charges of assault doesn’t necessarily mean there was a physical fight. “It isn’t restricted to just actually making physical contact with someone. It can be gesturing and posturing and having the ability to do that person harm and we believe Mr. Corbett did that first to the 72-year-old traffic attendant, then to the witness. We believe also that he uttered a threat to that traffic attendant prior to the camera being turned on. We’ve got corroboration of those facts from some witnesses.”
MacDonald says the province’s Hate Crimes Unit was called in, but no hate crimes charges have been approved. “That can be something that can be considered. The standard for a hate crimes per se is pretty difficult given the circumstances. To get an actual hate crimes charges, he would’ve had to either been inciting others to join in the hatred or that he’s publishing with an intent to spread hatred. For the information we have, this was essentially a belligerent and albeit, a racist sounding individual who was targeting his comments at one individual.”
Police are pleading with anyone who knows his whereabouts to call 911 or CrimeStoppers at 1.800.222.TIPS.

the term hate crime gets thrown around pretty easily but its actually pretty hard to nail someone down for a hate crime

and now the guy is now being charged, but not with hate crime: B.C. man charged following racist tirade in viral video - British Columbia - CBC News Quote:
Police in B.C. are looking for a man facing four charges connected to "racist and disturbing remarks," made in a video that circulated online last week.
Karry Vernon Corbett, 47, of Hope, B.C. — a small community 150 kilometres east of Vancouver — was charged Saturday morning with four counts including assault, uttering threats, and causing a disturbance.
...
The video was circulated widely, and police quickly identified Corbett, who has a long criminal record, said Const. Ian MacDonald.
...
Court documents show Corbett has a criminal record dating back to 1999, including past convictions for assault, theft and causing a disturbance.
He is also facing charges of assault with a weapon and uttering threats for two incidents in 2015 that are still before the courts.
Police in Abbotsford and Hope are looking for Corbett. Anyone with information on his location is asked to contact their local police department.

I think I'm getting more and more libertarian with these types of things..
The guy was pissed. I doubt that the other parties involved were innocent, just better at shutting up and using a camera.
When he's pissed, he's gonna (try to) insult the guy, and he picked race. Unless he's threatening violence, is an insult to race really worse than any other insult he could have used? Would it have been better to insult his height, intelligence, mother or car?
Half of our posts in this very thread are racist insults about how he's a redneck from a certain part of BC
He's a racist douchebag, but I don't know if charges are appropriate..

That said, the guy is obviously a complete loser with a rap sheet that dates back 26 years. He has nothing to lose and nothing to offer society, plus he's shown that he is a complete piece of shit. Knowing that, I'm not against putting him behind bars for a while.

You don't have to physically touch someone to commit assault.
Sounds like the charges were completely appropriate to me.

Sounds like the charges were completely appropriate to me. | I know that it is technically assault, but imagine if we laid charges out every time someone said 'i'm gonna kick your ass' in a verbal dispute. This seems much more racially charged, and I guess my general point was, I don't see how racial insults are worse than any other kind.

I think that folks fail to realize just how bad a life in jail actually is. The loss of freedom, the loss of individuality, and the constant threat of violence and retribution has to be taxing on one's system. The thought of being locked up in solitary for 23 hours a day is one of the most terrifying things I can think of as a human, because it goes against our nature as social animals.

Free speech bro. | Yes in fact I do hold free speech right up there in importance with life and liberty. Sadly the Regressive Left seems to hold a low value to it as we are seeing with Bill C-16 and protest of UofT professor Jordan Peterson for standing up for free speech.
FYI Quote:
Causing disturbance, indecent exhibition, loitering, etc.
175. (1) Every one who
(a) not being in a dwelling-house, causes a disturbance in or near a public place,
(i) by fighting, screaming, shouting, swearing, singing or using insulting or obscene language,
(ii) by being drunk, or
(iii) by impeding or molesting other persons,
(b) openly exposes or exhibits an indecent exhibition in a public place,
(c) loiters in a public place and in any way obstructs persons who are in that place, or
(d) disturbs the peace and quiet of the occupants of a dwelling-house by discharging firearms or by other disorderly conduct in a public place or who, not being an occupant of a dwelling-house comprised in a particular building or structure, disturbs the peace and quiet of the occupants of a dwelling-house comprised in the building or structure by discharging firearms or by other disorderly conduct in any part of a building or structure to which, at the time of such conduct, the occupants of two or more dwelling-houses comprised in the building or structure have access as of right or by invitation, express or implied,
is guilty of an offence punishable on summary conviction.
