#Canada, #Canadians, this is *not* the time to be preaching #reconciliation & compassion to #Indigenous people.
You can't have your systemic racism pie and eat reconciliation, too.

PSA: If you words towards #Indigenous people sound anything even remotely akin to, "it's unreasonable for you to grieve and express sorrow over the death of a loved one," then you are a part of the problem.

We are asking you to take on the job of holding yourself & your peers/family/friends/acquaintances/society accountable for systemic #racism.
Not for today. From now on.
We've been shouldering both the burden & the consequences long enough. 9
#JusticeForColten
We are telling you that most of us do not have it in us to politely & rationally educate you about #racism, again & again.
We will not apologize for our tone as you stand with your hurt feelings, while we are burying the bodies of our loved ones. 8/
#JusticeForColten
We are asking you to educate yourself on the reality of everyday #racism in #Canada, and to stop acting surprised when you witness it (or dismiss it) every day. 7/
#JusticeForColten
...And if so, then we are asking you acknowledge your own hypocritical and racist beliefs and to be accountable for them. 6/
#JusticeForColten
We are asking you to consider if it were a White man who was killed, or the one who killed him was Indigenous (or White), would your attitude & feelings be different? 5/
#JusticeForColten
We are saying that you demanding we act respectfully/reasonably in the face of injustice when non-POC are not held accountable for their actions is unreasonable. 4/
#JusticeForColten
We are saying that you demanding us to be rational/detached/unbiased when our loved ones are killed in front of us by non-POC acting with irrational, racist anger & fear is absurd & dehumanizing. 3/
#JusticeForColten
We are saying that the assumption of equality is false.
We are arguing that "justice" based on the foundations of inequality is not justice. 2/

For the record:
We are not saying that theft is right.
We are not advocating for alcoholism.
We are not saying all White people are murderers.

As a licensed professional hunting guide, and gun owner for four decades, I know that if you even put a gun to a person's head, you should be jailed.
Systemic racism against indigenous peoples is why Stanley is free.

Because the verdict in the Colten Bushie had nothing to do with systemic racism in Saskatchewan. #ColtenBushie #JusticeforColten
Even today in grief I can find strength in all my relations. Thanks. #justiceforcolten #JusticeForTina
This nights reading...entirely relevant. #justiceforcolten
We are not surprised.
We are not surprised that you are acting surprised, #Canada.
We are not surprised that you are responding with more #racism.
...We also don't want to hear it. #Enough

Non-POC: Do not tell us that you "can't believe" this could happen.
That you continue to remain willfully blind & complacent to the reality that systemic, covert, & overt #racism not only exists but is foundational to the fabric of #Canada *is* the problem.

Go look at the #JusticeForColten hashtag. And donβt tell me Canada isnβt as racist as any other country.
Welp. I was *going* to work tomorrow, but now it looks as though I'm going to a protest. #JusticeForColten
I was driving through the Whitebear Reserve in Saskatchewan 24 years ago. My car broke down. Started walking, but in less than 30 seconds a First Nations man stopped his car, took me to his home, and let me wait there until a tow truck showed up. I wasn't shot. #JusticeForColten
There is a dark, deadly, depraved void in our society.
Angry. Horrified.
Sending love to the Boushie family.
