    The University of Westminster is a truly Racist university for Racist, White students banned from Black History Month events at Westminster University, Why hasn't this Racist event been canceled by the authorities and has everyone in Westminster university who supports it been sacked as the Racists they obviously are, of course, there are no Black students protesting against this nor are there any woke supporters protesting, this is because the Black community is Racist against white people but you never hear the media say this do you this event shows Racism in its true colors. why aren't they being prosecuted and fined by the Racist supporting police in Westminster, Where is the crown prosecution service with its arrest warrants?

    I would like a count on the all the other races. I would suspect its not that far off, that's just me recalling from my textbook.

    13 pages out of 255 pages represents about 5% of a textbook. The grade 8 curriculum covers Canadian history from 1850-1914. In 1910, the Black Canadian population was 17,000 people out of the national population of 7.2 million. That's 0.2% of the national population. So lets' compare. 5% of a textbook devoted to a population that represented 0.2% at the time. I have no idea what was written on those 13 pages of this book... and maybe a couple more pages could have been written. But this is FAR from being an example of 'blacking out' history. Come on now... What I'm genuinely curious is to see how much of the book is devoted to Indigenous peoples and the genocidal practices that our government used to attempt deleting them from the land and culture. But this is FAR from being an attempt to black-out history, come on now. And we ALL know that teachers aren't bound to the textbook either.

      Comparing population ratios with historical significance doesn't make sense to me. here....I was born in 1975....learnt about the Holocaust more times than I can recall. Not once did I learn about american slavery. yes, Canada was involved in WWii....but significantly I'd say that american slavery , a system that built our most important trading partner and external cultural influence was way more significant to the history of Canada than, not necessarily WWii, but arguably the holocaust. Why didn't they teach us both? Black out of history and white privilege in history is very real. In my older age I've pondered this and have asked retired teachers and principals....they have opined that this is an issue that needs to be corrected. Not to mention that Canada was a refuge for escaping slaves who settled in Nova Scot and Chatham...again...not taught to me.

      I hope you recognize that in the time period this book covers, the black population of Canada was 0.2% of the total population. That 5% of a book is devoted to a population that was 0.2% is frankly not an attempt at purging them from history in the least bit. The suggestion that this is the case is laughable.
