The Black people missing from the Toronto Star's obsession with the Black experience

It's not just the Toronto Star of course, but their feature today on how 15 (yes, 15 out of what, maybe a million Blacks in Toronto?) Blacks feel about racial issues a year on from George Floyd made we wonder what Black people really think.

Because not every Black person is a community organizer or an activist or a professor, which is pretty much all I got in that Toronto Star story.

Where's the Black folks I used to work with? What do the Black welders and shipyard workers and steel-fab workers think? 

One thing I know for sure is they aren't lighting candles at their in-home George Floyd shrines.


Why can't the Toronto Star or the CBC find some space for these Black people?
