Very interesting video, I have mixed emotions about this one: Two Toronto Black women allege bylaw official racially profiled them, video included – June 17, 2020,
No offense black people, but usually when I watch a video of a black person claiming they’re being racially profiled, I watch and then say to myself, yeah, sure whatever, it’s all in your head. However, the louder black woman in the video you can watch below, did appear to sell her case about the officer being racists in manner I felt was fair.
The video starts rolling after the accusations are hurled at the officer, so I’m not really sure what actually happened, but I will say one thing, Etobicoke is known for having a lot of black gang members who to be fair are usually black males. But in the video, their complaint appeared to be all of these white people were breaking the law, so why can’t we break this stupid COVID-19 law too!
Being perfectly honest with you, I believe the two women, primarily because of what appeared to be the white soccer players and I feel horrible about that. Because the soccer players in the video had no reason to lie, and from there things appeared to unravel with the Bylaw enforcement officer.
The Bylaw enforcement officer appeared to in my opinion possibly racially profile the two black women, I live in Toronto, being perfectly honest with you, in particular areas of Toronto, I get a bit nervous when I see a lot of black people present, I don’t see it as being racists it’s just that it’s a known fact that a small percentage of blacks in Toronto do a lot of VIOLENT crimes and no offense to black people but I care more about me and the safety of my family than I care about being labeled a racist.

My thoughts after watching the video is… ‘meh’, but I get it. It’s never a good feeling when you’re being targeted by the government, that’s why I don’t understand why a large segment of black voters have an obsession with growing the size of the government.
The more black people vote for the NDP, the Liberals and the Greens, the more the government will get into your personal lives, that’s how this works. Now, although this particular instance the cop may have racially profiled the black women, the truth of the matter is Bylaw enforcement officers just like every other government person, look for SOFT TARGETS!
Government people like to make example of one person to scare off the heard, think of what happens when you’re driving your car on the road and you see a police car, what does everybody do? Everyone slows down, why? Because the Nanny State is on the road and Nana will invade your personal space and your personal property, if Nana thinks you’re breaking her laws.
Now, no offense black people, I know you some of you imagine that when you’re not around police officers aren’t harassing white people, the difference is when what happened in the video happens to white people, white people can’t cry racism. I get that for a lot of black people, they feel like the world revolves around them, but, in the grown-up world, it’s a sign of weakness when you scream racism at everything!
If I can be frank, what I saw was a government worker trying to get control of a situation by going after what appeared to be a soft target, that’s basically what government people all over the world do. There is no market fundamentals to being a cop, there are a laws and during periods like this in which a lot of Canadians have given up their rights to the government in exchange for security from COVID-19, some laws are becoming subjective and in this circumstance, the Cop saw what I think he thought was a soft target.
Government is inefficient and therefore it goes after the low hanging fruit, the government has been attacking white men for decades, but when a white man says anything, the media says shut up white man you have special white privileges, nobody cares pay this ticket and stop complaining.
So for me, what I think personally is the cop saw those two black women as individuals he could make an example out of. Maybe them being black had something to do with it, but these silly COVID-19 laws in case Canadians aren’t paying attention gave the government more power to arrest and harass you for almost whatever reason they want.
I’ve stated this in other posts that the one good thing I liked with Black America when it came to the George Floyd protests was that they openly mocked the COVID-19 laws, I admire that, the black Americans made the Republicans and Democrats bow to them! Power to the people! I like it when the people remind the politicians who’s really in charge.
Humanity is an interesting animal if you allow yourself to remove your personal emotions from a particular situation! As an organism it appears humanity will find ways to fight back against tyranny, sure it’s not always pretty but I hope as humans evolve we can all start to love each other more because racism is stupid, but… I still reserve the right to be prejudice!
Interesting times ahead
