Wow, tracing people online. :-) I hate racism, promoting one race over other is racism no mater what. All this jumping around First nation only creates more hate toward them, it is not helping at all. Want to help, help people in disadvantage no matter what race they are. If it will go predominately to aboriginals, fine, it means they need it more.

    Very true. Why, then, are you not opposed to our national celebratory holiday being moved away from a day seen as a day of mourning by some, because of what it represents for them and their culture?

    It affects only a very small percentage of the population. For the majority, that date means nothing outside its official meaning. And no matter what day you pick, someone will be offended. Just move on; it does not matter in the grand scale of things. But I would agree that putting it on the day when the federation was formed would make more sense, but January 1st is already used.

    Ah I see. Racism is ok then, when it "affects only a very small percentage of the population."

    Logic? Please explain how did you come to this conclusion?

    I just fail to see how you come to this conclusion based on my post. Please explain.

    Racism is ok then, when it “affects only a very small percentage of the population.”
