"Is the USA-run Toronto Star 'intentionally' stirring up RACIAL HATRED by saying slavery was WORSE IN CANADA than in the USA?" asks É(eh)PC President/Party Leader

[ken....@gmail.com]

The THRUST of ALL the articles written by Takara Small on page 15
of the Toronto Metro News (owned by the Toronto Star - known to
hire Chicago Tribune employees) Monday, February 10th 2014 as part
of Black History Month in Canada is TOTALLY DISINGENUOUS YELLOW
JOURNALISM unsupported by facts - based on OUTRAGEOUSLY, IRRESPON-
SIBLE CONJECTURE.
http://www.thefreedictionary.com/thrust
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yellow_journalism
http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/outrageous
http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/conjecture


Its TONE is CONDESCENDING, DISRESPECTFUL, DANGEROUSLY
INFLAMMATORY - in my view - and seems to be "tinged" by AFRICAN-
AMERICAN RACISM.
http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/inflammatory


Its intent seems to be to *FOMENT* RACIAL HATRED: you can judge
that for yourself - after reading what I have to say.
http://www.thefreedictionary.com/foment


I have to QUESTION THE JUDGEMENT of the Toronto Star in letting
Toronto Metro News to print (what I feel is) such a SHAMEFUL,
RECKLESS, SUBSTANDARD JOURNALISTIC ARTICLES whose INTENT
seems to be "intentionally" MALICIOUS!


Such journalistic *WICKEDNESS* - by Americans (the author+editor)
(I strongly suspect.) - is EVIL!


Let's look.


(See scanned copy of the page at: http://eh-ok.ca/BlackHistory.pdf)



THE TOP
=======
AT THE TOP of the whole page is the caption "SPECIAL".


Just under that is the heading "Slavery Myths in Canada" under which is
presented 4 "so-called" myths.
http://www.thefreedictionary.com/so-called



Myth No. 1
========
Under "Myth No. 1", we have the 2nd of 3 sentences: "Many Canadians
are under the assumption that slavery never existed in Canada (or
not at the same levels found in the U.S.), which is false."


This is NOT TRUE and TOTALLY EGREGIOUS!
http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/egregious


But MORE THAN THAT: it's A VICIOUS, *MALICIOUS* LIE!
http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/vicious
http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/malicious


This is just "Myth No. 1".



Myth No. 2
========
Under "Myth No. 2", we have the 2nd (of 4 sentences): "Politicians
enacted legislation in 1793 that set limitations on slavery in the
country."


The 4th sentence following the 3rd, I think, is DEROGATORY and MEAN-
SPIRITED!
http://www.yourdictionary.com/mean-spirited


"The 1793 bill meant anyone born a slave would secure his freedom when
he turned 25." (3rd)


"At the time, the average lifespan of a slave was 20 to 25 years." (4th)


The 4th is *UNSUBSTANTIATED* by any references, A LIKELY A COMPLETELY
*FALSE* ASSERTION.
http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/assertion


So much for "Myth No. 2".



Myth No. 3
========
"Myth No. 3" seems to me to be U.S. *VICIOUSNESS* SERVED ON
A SILVER PLATER.


The 2nd (of 3 sentences) says, in effect, that the slaves who came
to Canada were NO BETTER OFF suggesting that they had wasted their
time in coming to Canada via the FREEDOM TRAIN (the underground
railroad): "Despite the warm and fuzzy images and scenes displayed
in most current-day slave narratives, black slaves who escaped to
Canada faced discrimination, violence and segregation."
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Underground_Railroad


The 3rd sentence is THE WOWZER!
http://www.internetslang.com/WOWZER-meaning-definition.asp


It says that LIFE WAS *PROBABLY* WORSE IN CANADA than the
USA for African-Americans because the racism was discreet, NOT
OVERT in the USA where APARTHEID REIGNED because of the
Jim Crow (KKK) laws.
http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/discreet
http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/overt


"Unlike racist legislation, like Jim Crow laws, passed in the U.S.,
Canada had largely unwritten racist codes, which many could argue
made it more difficult for black people in Canada."


This article seems to be MORE + MORE LIKE A *PROPAGANDA* ARTICLE
by a "disaffected" CIA agent who is MISDIRECTING HER RACIST ANGER
channeling it at Canada rather than the USA.
http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/disaffected



Myth No. 4
========
Here comes "Myth No. 4".


The truth, she seems to be saying WITHOUT ANY SUPPORTING EVIDENCE,
is that African-Americans who came to Canada were SO UNHAPPY that
they went back to the USA.


In the 2nd (of the 3 sentences), she uses the word "some", but in
the 3rd sentence, "some" becomes "entire generations". Talk about
HYPERBOLE! She caN'T be serious.
http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/hyperbole


"Some former slaves left Canada for the U.S. once slavery was
abolished in America to escape the difficulties in Canada and
for chances at upward mobility ... . Entire generations of black
Canadians were completely lost to Canadian history by moving to
the U.S."



THE PICTURE
===========
3/4 of the page below that top row of 4 myths on the left-hand
side is an "anonymous" picture with the caption with a spelling
mistake "This painting, originally entitled Portrait of Negro
Slave, is one of very view (sic) public pieces of art that
depicts a black Canadian slave." (Provenance: "Montreal Museum
of Fine Arts".)
http://www.thefreedictionary.com/provenance



THE *MAIN* ARTICLE
================
On the right-hand side is another article, A DOOZY!
http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=doozy



THE TITLE
========
Just look at the "titillating" title: "Canada's unknown slave-
owning past".


Don't expect Ms. Small (a family name she comes by honestly) to
supply references: that's TOO MUCH TO EXPECT coming from HER STYLE
OF YELLOW JOURNALISM.



THE SUB-HEADING
===============
Look at the sub-heading: "Historians believe about 5,000 slaves
were brought to the country. Their stories are often left out
of the history books."


PROBLEM!


Which historians - exactly?


None are given: NOT EVEN ONE!



THE QUOTE
==========
To the right of the picture is A CALLED-OUT QUOTE she says "in
authoritative fashion" (Ha! Ha!): "The legacy of the underground
railroad is positive and empowering but what that legacy does is
that it blinds us and obscures the other things that were going
on before the railroad. We had slavery in Canada, it just ended
sooner."



Sentence No. 1
============
The 1st sentence is fairly "innocuous": "You've heard this story
before: A group of slaves escape for freedom in the middle of the
night."
http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/innocuous



Sentence No. 2+3
=============
The 2nd + 3rd tough are VEXING, BAREFACED LIES!
http://www.thefreedictionary.com/vexing
http://www.thefreedictionary.com/barefaced


Where is THE SUPPORTING EVIDENCE?


It's NOT NEEDED because it's public knowledge?


Or is this U.S. Gov't PROPAGANDA that seeks to *DENIGRATE*
CANADA by "rewriting" history?


Here they are: "But here's the twist: These slaves weren't running
toward Canada. They were running away from it - fleeing from Canadian
slave owners and headed for freedom in Detroit."


DETROIT!


So there were slaves in Windsor, Ontario across from Detroit: is
that it?


WHO KNEW?


But, it seems, Ms. Small and the Toronto Star Research Department
(that serves as the CIA Research Department in Toronto - as far
as I'm concerned) do.


Is their goal TO REWRITE BLACK HISTORY IN CANADA to favour the USA
at the expense of THE GOOD REPUTATION OF CANADA?


It seems that way, doesN'T it?


By the way, the 4th sentence is A CONTINUATION OF THE SAME *WACKY*
THESIS of CANADIAN OPPRESSION of African-American slaves: "... the
story of Canadian slaves - whose lives were as unjust and inhumane
as those in the south - has largely been ignored."
http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/thesis



TAKARA SMALL (li...@metronews.ca)
============
Where was she born? USA?


Where did she do her elementary+high school? USA?


Did she graduate from the Ryerson University School of Journalism?


Ryerson U. seems to be run by the CIA.


CHECK ALL THE AMERICANA on the north-west corner of its Image
Centre: there is NOT ONE Canadian there.
http://youtu.be/sXNxt2V0x8Q


Across the street is a billboard featuring Martin Luther King:
http://youtu.be/Er_BUGZdhcE


(By the way, we do *NOT* KNOW who owns our universities: it's
NOT the Gov't. The É(eh)PC intends to NATIONALIZE colleges+
universities in order to offer TUITION-FREE education.)



NO SLAVE-TRADING MARKET in Canada
===============================
Unlike the USA, there was NEVER an ACTIVE SLAVE-TRADING
MARKET in Canada.


However, there was an "active" SLAVE-TRADING MARKET In the
*FASCIST*, war-mongering USA, ("the land of freedom", run
by the KKK Freemasons where there's NO LIVING WAGE making
the USA a SLAVE LABOUR CAMP for the Rich).


[And the KKK "figure-head", Obama (probably a former CIA
guy), doesN'T care about OUTLAWING the KKK NOR providing
the WORKING-POOR Americans with a living wage.]
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Figurehead


(It is safe, I think, to speculate that THE FOUNDING FATHERS
OF THE USA were SERIAL RAPISTS of African-American women especially
Jefferson who had bi-racial children: if true, that's A BLACK STAIN
on the history of the USA. Incidentally, Obama admires Jefferson,
I do NOT!)



CONSPIRACY
===========
On the one hand, Ms. Small seems to be suggesting that there is
A *CONSPIRACY* TO *HIDE* Canada's SLAVERY PAST, but she intends
to set the record straight with these articles - WITHOUT REFERENCES,
WITHOUT FACTS - articles that are WORKS OF FICTION!


On the other, she "whitewashes" the USA by saying that African-
Americans went back to the USA: they missed it so much. (Ha! Ha!)
That's JUST PLAIN LUDICROUS!
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Whitewash_(censorship)
http://www.thefreedictionary.com/ludicrous


Ms. Small, contrary to what you (and your employer) would have us
believe, THE *REAL* VILLAIN when it comes to slavery is the USA
(*NOT* Canada): that's AN UNCONTESTED HISTORICAL FACT.


Why, then, would you (and your employer) have us BELIEVE OTHERWISE,
eh?


It's INCOMPREHENSIBLE!
http://www.thefreedictionary.com/incomprehensible


All this sounds like "wicked" CIA PROPAGANDA to me.



AMERICAN PROPAGANDA?
=====================
To suggest things were *EQUALLY BAD* for African-Americans arriving
in Canada seems to be U.S. PROPAGANDA that is MEANT TO *DENIGRATE*
CANADA and SHAME African-Americans who believe to this day that LIFE
WAS BETTER for African-Americans IN CANADA.



MORE TROUBLE
=============
The É(eh)PC believes Toronto has THE LARGEST CIA COMMUNITY that is
supporting their man, Rob Ford from which we an expect NOTHING, but
MORE TROUBLE.


Incidentally, THE MAJORITY of which are African-American with A
"BADASS ATTITUDE" who claim to be from Caribbean - especially
Jamaica: I HIGHLY SUSPECT Ms. Small to be one of them: A TRUE-BLUE
"UNCLE TOM".
http://www.thefreedictionary.com/true-blue
http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=Uncle%20Tom



TAKE IT DOWN
============
The É(eh)PC intends to get rid of the Toronto Star for providing
TOO MUCH NEEDLESS American media coverage.


Many of their reporters appear to be CIA agents who went out of
their way to do RUSSIAN BASHING - EVERY DAY - during the Olympics.


In fact, it appears that Ernest Hemingway was hired by the Toronto
Star AT THE BEHEST OF THE U.S. GOV'T so he could be sent to Europe
to *SPY* on the intelligentsia for the U.S. Gov't while working for
the Toronto Star.
http://www.thefreedictionary.com/behest


Clearly, the Toronto Star has proven to be A SOURCE OF U.S. Gov't
CHICANERY in Canada - in my eyes.
http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/chicanery


I STRONGLY FEEL the Toronto Star has OUTDONE ITS STAY IN CANADA:
it's time for the Toronto Star to leave.


We doN'T want trouble.


IT`S GOTTA GO!


YANKY,
GO HOME!
