[Description en français ci-dessus] The conversations around the anti-racist fight in Quebec are extremely Americanized. We address these discussions by focusing on American events without ever contextualizing them based on our reality. In this episode, we try to take the conversation further: How is anti-black racism manifested in Canada? Based on the facts, exploring the violent history of racism here, what conclusion can we draw about our identity as Black Quebecers/Montrealers? What does it mean to be black in Montreal? We present to you a two-hour episode where we try to answer these questions by going over the history of Black people in Montreal that is not taught to us in our classrooms. . . .
