  • CAPURRI Ryerson University, Canada
    Volume 15, Issue 1, 129-144, 2021 “I Cannot Hide My Anger to Spare You Guilt”: On BLMTO and Canadian Mainstream Media’s Response VALENTINA CAPURRI Ryerson University, Canada ABSTRACT In this paper, I examine Canadian mainstream media’s response to Black Lives Matter Toronto, focusing in particular on two events that occurred in the city in the Summer of 2016 and Winter of 2017. By relying on Critical Race Theory, I argue that a White-dominated press has been unwilling to engage with the message presented by Black activists under the excuse that the tone of the message is overly harsh and threatening to White audiences. After analysing the historical roots of such a claim, I conclude that, in the current climate, there is no space for any dialogue in what remains an oppressor-oppressed relationship across the country, including in Toronto, Canada’s most multicultural city. KEYWORDS racism; white supremacy; critical race theory; Canada The quote in the title is from a keynote presentation delivered by Audre Lorde at the National Women’s Studies Association Conference in Storrs, Connecticut, in June 1981 (Lorde, 2007). In the presentation, Lorde examines how anger is one of Black women’s responses to racism despite the inability and unwillingness of White women, including many female-identified academics attending the conference, to bear witness to that anger. Lorde was pinpointing White women’s refusal to listen under the cover that the tone used to convey the message was excessively harsh and was therefore perceived as threatening. Thirty-nine years later, Black individuals, and Black women in particular, are still faced with similar challenges and with White society’s unwillingness to listen to the message conveyed by their anger, and the excuse is the same: the tone is too loud and intimidating.

  • Dealing Different Dealing Different
    DEALING WITH BEING DIFFERENT A Resource Guide for gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgender, queer and questioning Black youth. Content written by David Lewis-Peart, MSM Prevention Coordinator, Black-CAP Graphic design, illustration and photograhy by Frantz Brent-Harris • www.frantzbrentharris.com BLACK COALITION FOR AIDS PREVENTION The Black Coalition for AIDS Prevention (Black CAP) is a non-proft, community based, AIDS Service organization in Toronto that works with African and Caribbean people who are either infected or affected by HIV/AIDS. Black CAP’s mission is to reduce the spread of HIV infection within Black communities, and to enhance the quality of life of Black people living with or affected by HIV/AIDS. Black CAP accomplishes this mission through various programs and services offered by its Prevention, Education, Support, and Outreach departments. With funding from the City of Toronto – Access and Equity Program and the Community One Foundation, Black CAP chose to develop this resource booklet to help Black lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer and questioning (LGBTQ) Black youth and their families with the “coming out” process. Black CAP also wants to support youth struggling with issues about sexuality, and who are feeling disconnected from the support of family. Black CAP recognizes that as a result of this isolation, homophobia and rejection, many LGBTQ youth are at greater risk for HIV/AIDS and other sexually transmitted infections. In the process of creating this booklet, Black CAP consulted with, and gathered support from, a number of individuals and organizations. Special thanks to Supporting Our Youth – and the Black Queer Youth Group (BQY), staff and students at the Triangle Alternative School Program, our partners in the project, the African Caribbean Council on HIV/AIDS in Ontario (ACCHO), and fnally our funders at the City of Toronto and the Community One Foundation.

    Presseinformation (03/2016) PRESSEMELDUNG „Klick!“ – Kanadas Politiker posieren beim Pride Toronto für Weltoffenheit Das Festival steht 2016 unter dem Motto „Setz dich zu uns!“ Mettmann/Toronto, 3. März 2016 – Pride Toronto, das größte, bunte, lebendige Kunst und Kultur vereinende Pride-Fest Nordamerikas, gab das Motto für das Festival 2016 bekannt und verkündete der Welt „Sit with us - Setz dich zu uns!“ Die Kampagne der homo- und transsexuellen Szene mit ihren zahlreichen Aktivitäten wird erstmals einen ganzen Monat lang dauern und Toronto zum Treffpunkt für Weltoffenheit und Toleranz werden lassen. Breite Unterstützung findet das Festival, das die Vielfältigkeit und das Zusammengehörigkeitsgefühl der kanadischen Gesellschaft zeigen und Menschen aller Art – unabhängig von Alter, Geschlecht, ethnischer Zugehörigkeit oder sexuellen Identität – integrieren soll, schon jetzt in Kanadas Staats- und Regierungsriege: Zum ersten Mal in der Historie wird ein amtierender Staatsminister Kanadas auf der Pride Parade mit marschieren: Justin Trudeau. Begleitet wird er von Ontarios Premierministerin Kathleen Wynne samt Partnerin Jane Rounthewaite sowie Torontos Oberbürgermeister John Tory. Foto-Shooting mit Minister Um die Kraft und Schönheit der facettenreichen kanadischen Gesellschaft zu würdigen, initiierte Pride Toronto ein öffentliches Foto-Shooting für Gemeindemitglieder, Künstler und Stadtoberhäupter, mit dem Ziel, ihre individuelle Persönlichkeit und Gesinnung zu zeigen. Das Foto-Shooting stieß auf eine überwältigende Resonanz. Die Bilder zeigen über 300 Gemeindemitglieder aller Altersklassen, mit den unterschiedlichsten sexuellen Orientierungen, Geschlechts- Identitäten und ethnischen Zugehörigkeiten. Ein Bild der Gesellschaft „Wenn ein Bild mehr sagt als 1000 Worte, dann haben vielleicht 1000 Bilder das Potenzial, ein wahrhaftiges Bild unserer Gesellschaft zu zeichnen - und was für eine wirklich vielgestaltige und wunderschöne Gemeinschaft wir haben!“, sagt Mathieu Chantelois, Executive Director der Pride Toronto.

    NEWSLETTER - VOLUME XVIII - No. I – September 2016 Being part of a community By Mona Greenbaum, director of the LGBT Family Coalition As director of the LGBT Family Coalition, once again at this time of year, I find myself sitting in front of a blank page, with 3 goals in mind: 1) I have to convince you to renew your membership to the LGBT Family Coalition or to become a member for the first time, by letting you know what a great organization the Coalition is. 2) I have to motivate you to pay your membership and hopefully give us a donation to help continue to promote the legal and social recognition of our families. 3) I’m hoping to inspire you to volunteer your skills to help work on important causes that affect our families. Here’s my usual approach: For our older members, I remind you of the battles we’ve already won: obtaining the right to have both parents in our families legally recognized; securing access to fertility clinics and adoption; winning the right to marry; increasing the visibility of our families in schools and other public institutions; etc. The Coalition was at the forefront of all these advances! For newer members, I speak about how the Coalition is pushing for change: having surrogacy legally recognized in Quebec; giving children with trans parents proper birth certificates that reflect who their parents are; gaining back RAMQ coverage of fertility treatments (including preservation of fertility for people who are transitioning); minimizing wait times before DPJ adoptions are finalized; continuing the fight against homophobia and transphobia in schools and social services; and most of all, making sure that the realities of our families are represented in our children’s everyday environment, not as something to be tolerated, but rather as a richness and an asset to the school and to the community.
