A Pickering city councillor is facing backlash from community members and her council colleagues after penning an op-ed saying she does not support the concept of Black History Month, which led to public outcry and some demanding an apology.
In the op-ed, which was published online Sunday in the Oshawa Durham Central Newspaper, Coun. Lisa Robinson denounced the idea of celebrating Black History Month, arguing that "the race to equality is not the celebration of one race over another.
“We are so hung up on North American history and the historical trafficking of primarily African people that we have lost sense of time and period,” she wrote.
I find the non-government flag raising laws because of pride funny
My area had that law for decades, originally to prevent the raising of Confederate and Nazi flags back in the 80s. Then maybe 10 years ago a local pride group sued because they wanted their flag raised
Then a few years later all these anti-gay politicians started pushing those laws
