These comments are unacceptable.

I hope she get charge for hate crime.
The Mayor request black lives appointed a delegation to meet with him, they refuse and instead disrupt the council meeting.
They camp out at the Premier house last Saturday night... this is unacceptable. And they see nothing wrong with this.
Black People can say " I am proud to be a black " but they ( Black) have issue if the white man say the same.
There are decent blacks and some came out criticizing Black Lives.

Same problem in Guyana. The lady who vented about Granger was immediately charged.
This is the type of radicalism that Carib and others spew daily on GNI.

Ewing was made a hero for posting the same types of comments on his Facebook page.

Looking forward to you identifying a post where I threatened any one with death.
Seignet made threats about blacks in Guyana, and the rest of you cheered.

When white people go to a church with a black rendition of Jesus on the wall, then you can debate about whether the need for blacks to express pride in who they are, can be equated with similar expressions by whites.
Blacks must be the only race on this planet who worship a vision of God in the likeness of their oppressors.

There is a Jamar Clark shooting by the police in Minneapolis for grabbing the police gun and trying to shoot one cop. The district attorney decide not to charge the two policemen. One BLACK WOMAN from the area said on TV, "If the city burns, it will be on your heads". What a concept!

You cannot teach pigs about pearls or dogs about not biting said t he lord. Similarly you cannot restrain bigots from the opportunity to a dog whistle given the opportunity.That is their most delectable carrion.

DONâT MISTAKE VIOLENT WORDS FOR VIOLENCE ITSELF
A leader of Black Lives Matter Toronto is being labelled racist for publicly praying for strength not to harm those who harm her
DESMOND COLE STAR TOUCH
Earlier this week, Black Lives Matter Toronto ended more than two weeks of continuous public protest in front of the cityâs police headquarters. In that short time, the group negotiated a unanimous city council vote to review police accountability, especially as it relates to black residents. Premier Kathleen Wynne met briefly with BLMTO organizers in front of a throng of media, and promised to meet them again soon about their concerns. Young people, specifically black queer and trans women, transformed the black communityâs pain over police violence into civic action and inspiration.
This ability to respond to state-sanctioned aggression with peaceful resistance is beautiful and rare. Yet a BLMTO organizer is being labelled a racist, violent person because she publicly prayed for the strength not to harm those who harm her. Yusra Khogaliâs tweet asking, âAllah, give me the strength not to cuss/kill these men and white folks out here,â is the opposite of a call to violence â it is an honest appeal to restraint and wisdom in the face of violence, racism, and misogyny.
Since one of my Newstalk1010 Radio colleagues publicized Khogaliâs tweet, which she wrote in February, the media has demanded she explain herself. Was this some kind of threat? Was such a comment befitting of the representative of a public movement? Khogali has turned down all media requests, but her subsequent tweets suggest she will not apologize for the controversial remark.
Nor should she. Khogali and BLMTO have achieved such impressive political success and relevance that their previously ignored public comments are now deemed relevant. While folks are now clearly interested in Khogaliâs thoughts, they shouldnât be surprised by them. The most common response to violence and injustice is anger, and black women who express that anger should be heard instead of being scrutinized as perpetrators themselves.
Those who deny that Khogali is truly fighting against oppression will obviously fail to understand her intense feelings. But many of us know that she and hundreds of supporters slept on the cold pavement outside police headquarters because they oppose the systemic racism and hyper-masculinity that drives modern policing.
Violence makes their blood simmer, but they do not respond in kind. They turn their frustration into words, songs, tweets, prayers, chants, and political demands. They camp on public property in freezing rain storms, and refuse to leave until someone comes to address them. Somehow, people mistake these righteously angry responses to violence for violence itself.
Khogali rightly pointed out that it took Wynne and her local counterpart John Tory days or weeks to respond to BLMTOâs demands, including a request to review the Special Investigations Unit that oversees police, but only hours to respond to a tweet she made two months ago. The local media contributed to this misplaced focus through its eagerness to scrutinize Khogaliâs tweet, an eagerness that in many cases has not been found in the coverage of BLMTOâs historic and successful protest.
If only the media had been as eager to get answers to the actual police violence that Khogali and protesters faced on March 21, when Toronto Police Service officers pushed and kicked the mostly black women who were demonstrating outside 40 College Street in order to dismantle their tents and extinguish a contained fire they were using to keep warm. Too bad itâs so easy to justify the violence of the powerful, while questioning the tweets of someone who endures aggression, and who prays not to return it in kind. Police chief Mark Saunders has still said nothing about the protest, or his officersâ violent disruption of it, and few in the media seem to be demanding a response.
Khogali joined me recently on the radio to explain what the movement sheâs been a part of means to her.
âWeâve taken a space of violence, and created love,â said Khogali, her voice raspy from days of singing and chanting. âFrom this point forward, thatâs how weâre going to move, with love as the foundation of everything we do.â
Those who question whether this statement contradicts Khogaliâs tweet should look to the local movement she and others have worked to build. Black Lives Matter is very clearly all about love, even though it is borne out of anger and despair. But asking organizers to challenge systemic oppression in a way that does not offend or frighten an indifferent public is itself a form of violence.
"But asking organizers to challenge systemic oppression in a way that does not offend or frighten an indifferent public is itself a form of violence."

Guyana Chronicle Editor-In-Chief, Nigel Williams, was yesterday suspended for the apparent doctoring
Nigel Williams
of a photograph with President David Granger in the National Park.
The original photograph was photoshopped to take out two Afro-Guyanese children and replace them with pictures of two Amerindian children.
Williams is suspended for one week on a decision taken by the Board of Directors of the company.
A source indicated that a meeting was held on Tuesday with the Board of Directors and they all decided to suspend him.
His suspension was confirmed yesterday by Chairman of the GNNL Board, Jean La Rose. La Rose refused to give any further deals about suspension, stating that âit is an internal matterâ.
The newspaper had published an apology stating that the intention was to show the President at two different scenes socializing with Guyanese.
Last year, the Board fired the newspaperâs General Manager Michael Gordon and Editor-in-Chief Mark Ramoutar with immediate effect, citing weak administration and poor circulation numbers.

Everyday people pray not to be swayed by external circumstances to take the road most traveled...evil. Everyone has heard the religious say "life is hard god, help me to get by". You need to take these prayers to heart. This woman is making the same prayerful supplication.... "Help me not to do the dark tings that rationally comes to mind given grievous injustices".
If you are not particularly religious you can chant some phrase as the a directing or mediating thought that you do not decay into the obscene nonsense that is your habit. Try it and there may be some possibility for rehabilitation from the bitter-old-waste-of-a-human-being-syndrome.

OK Africanized Indo Saxon. Note how your dark skinned fellow Indians destroy their skins with skin lightening creams.
Now what is their excuse?
To quote an Indian female "a woman can be light and poor, or dark and rich, but that cannot be dark and poor and get a husband".
Caribbeanj why do you ignore the widespread skin bleaching in Jamaica and African America. You never saw the multitude of skin bleaching creams and liquids in west African stores. When was the last time you saw an African woman with an Afro instead of fried hair or a false phony hair wig made from the Malay woman's hair. But no you don't those things because your racial hatred of the East Indian is so intense that it blinds you to those things.

You have already damned blacks as self hating. I merely suggest to you that Indians aren't any better.
BTW that dead woman hair is out of style now. Black women are back to natural. Don't know where you live but I see black women with natural styles EVERY day, and even those with straightened hair are doing it with THEIR hair.
I suggest that you have a chat with a black female with full negroid hair about the challenges that they face.
Do you know the term "taming hair"? Well that is what the mothers of black girls have to do when they comb their hair, if they wish not to have a fight.
Former Member
Prashad I just realized that when you claim that you haven't seen black women with natural hair its because the Africanized Indo Saxons are so "Caribbean" in appearance that you cannot differentiate them from full black women, except for the hair.

I have a great rapport with my community. If I fall over and die from and accident or system failure, I have lived a good prosperous and rewarding life. My wife will cremate me and drop my ashes in the nearest river per my request.
