You’ll note that this blog post is greatly delayed.
I took a long time to write this because I felt that the world didn’t need to hear a white man speak for a while. My support for Black Lives Matter was through financial contribution to the local black community.
I am writing this though because I heard messages that silence is complicity. I took a long time, to process that; but it’s true. Silence is complicity. So let me be clear here, and silent no more:
Black Lives Matter
It’s important I say Black lives matter because I must acknowledge that black lives are in peril. I must acknowledge these problems exist in Canada, and and that the lack of safety Black people experience is unacceptable.
To help remind me, and those who visit here that Black Lives Matter, I’ve put it into my footer. It will remain there.
