    remember when doug's brother, rob, was caught smoking crack-cocaine on video, y'all? remember when TPS invaded toronto's largest somali neighbourhood in response to absolve white men from any criminality while publicly criminalizing a whole black muslim refugee community?

    This left me fuming. After the week we’ve had, it infuriates me that racists continue to act with no consequence. Faiza is too classy to name them, but for those wanting to avoid this place, I’ll say it happened at Pizza Rustica. His response when confronted:“It’s not a big deal”

    My spirit is all the way down. While reporting on a story about a young black man murdered in Toronto, we were interviewing an employee of a shop. When the owner/manager(?) accosted us & another reporter, telling us to leave. Also saying: “I don’t want these N***ers coming here”

    I want y’all to realize that when they called Black protestors “thugs” in Ferguson, we were armed with cardboard signs and cell phones. If any of us had DARED to be on the street, let alone a gov’t building, fully armed, this video wouldn’t exist. Because we’d all be dead.
