A Private Black School?!
Why, what a coinkidink. I was just debating with my companion the prospect of Toronto allowing for an all black school - within the public school system, of course. I was pro (from a WTHell? point of view), he was anti (from a WTFuck? point of view):
"This is the big one...I'm comin' to join ya, honey!"
I know, I know. It's not very... white of me, but I don't care how multicultural we think Canada is. Whiteness, British whiteness, to be exact, is so essentially Canadian, that I simply do not believe, even in our public school system, that the playing field is level - enough.
Black kids need a break from whiteness. They need to be in all black schools being taught by black teachers so they can get out from under that massive smoothering (it's a new word, okay? smoothering) blanket of white culture which dominates every single aspect of Canadian life - still - regardless of what we want to believe Canada has become.
Especially since I would go on to argue that Canada is, if anything, whiter'n ever - in spite of years of non-white immigration.
I may be wrong. But if I am it's because I'm projecting just a little of what it has always felt like to me being a socialist female in a conservative male dominated world.
A white conservative male dominated world.
