Apparently the big controversy surrounding the Ferguson protests - TopicsExpress



          

Apparently the big controversy surrounding the Ferguson protests here in Toronto and Ottawa are these detailed ground rules set out by the event organizers: While we appreciate the solidarity shown by White and Non-Black POC, want to remind folks of some things: -Please refrain from taking up space in all ways possible. Remember that you are there in support of black folks, so should never be at the centre of anything -Refrain from speaking to the media. Black voices are crucial to this -Stand behind black folks or between us and the police -If you see a cop harassing a black person, come in and engage. (chances are they are least likely to arrest you) So I ask you all (white, Black, American, Canadian, etc.) what do YOU think about these rules imposed for the march? Do you think they were helpful or bigoted? theglobeandmail/news/national/canadian-pro-ferguson-rally-organizers-ask-whites-to-stay-in-background/article21781408/?click=sf_globefb
