Part 3. Exercise
Comment: Last year at Pride, when Black Lives Matters accused the entire LGBT community of Toronto of being nothing but oppressor class racists, did the Globe, CBC or Star stand up in defence of the gay community who have traditionally been open and accepting of all people. Did any politician ( Wynne, Trudeau, Wong Tam, Tory) speak against the sweeping slander of BLM? No of course not. They all tacitly agreed with BLM by refusing to refute the allegations. In white man's media , white man is always guilty. Appropriations just one more sin we carry in our souls.

Identity-attack
