Black Lives Matter Toronto, a coalition of Black Torontonians resisting anti-Black racism, are inspirational leaders, and a credit to Toronto. They have had a profound positive impact on race relations in Toronto. They have created, articulated, and enacted a new vision of responding to inequities experienced by Black people of African and Caribbean origin in Toronto. They have called on Torontonians to take up their responsibility to speak out and to ensure equity in our city. By acting so bravely to communicate that message so strongly, Black Lives Matter Toronto have increased social efficacy and social capital in our city thereby strengthening our democracy, improving our population’s health, and saving lives in our city.

而在美国,共和党总统候选人特朗普近日在共和党大会上的演讲中声称自己是“法律与次序”候选人,被认为是对上世纪60年代民权运动期间对抗议活动采取强硬政治和警政立场的致敬。美国的“黑人的命也是命”团体批特朗普的言词是在向特定选民群体吹“狗哨”。 |
