yeah we just fucked over the jews when they were sent over here on a boat and we turned them down.
but nonetheless.
i would like to put in a lil chris rock quote here:
"white ppl sell guns. that's all right. black rapper SAYS guns. congressional hearing!" hahha oh mr.rock.
Canada hasn't had the problem the US has had with racism. But it goes for a lot of other human rights. We are way more progressive and liberal than the US gov't ever has been.
Our Charter of Rights which is and has been for a while, a part of the constitution provides much more protection for visible minorities and women than the States has ever come close to offering. We have also offered progressive human rights long before the US so naturally it will help the country as a whole with racial problems over a long enough period of time. We have better social programs therefore our poverty rate isn't as bad. We have a great public school system so that poor immigrants and poor ppl in general can get a good education. Health care is fantastic. Our literacy rate is higher...in general canada has served its PEOPLE better and therefore we have less racial issues. we might not be powerful and our dollar is worth less (although we're making a comeback) but we live a great life in canada with less violence and more freedom. less hate and more love. also...
Not to mention the fact that women were able to vote in canada before they could in the US.
im not a crazy feminist or anything I'm just saying that Canada has a much more progressive approach to its citizens and its citizens' rights.
