Thank you! Finally, someone who gets it.  I'm an American born and raised in the Deep South by Northerners.  I saw racism EVERY day and to turn a blind eye to any of this is as bad as the people who perpetrate these racist crimes.  I've lived in Canada for several years and I find racism alive and well here, but it's well hidden.  I find in Canada I also tend to stay silent, but no longer.  Something must be done! Come on canadian leaders and celebrities! #takeaknee
