RE: Man seeks recognition of African identity

Dear List members:

   I thank T Goldie for the informative post.

    Please notice how the Quebec separatists on this list are silent
regarding this issue. The Quebec separatist project is racist to the core --
NO room for "Les autres".

    Why are the you silent? Everything all right Jack? (Jacques, tsé)

    Le Devoir the leading separatist rag does have not a single black
journalist in a full-time position, yet Quebec intellectuals stay
silent. Montreal has about 80,000 Canadians of Haitian origin -- apparently
not ONE is qualified to have full-time job in a KEY position at this paper.
Hello! We are in the year 2000. Separatists intellectuals still refer to the
Canadians of Haitian et al as "immigrants."
