This short #documentary highlights how the mechanism of #discrimination prevents foreign-trained #doctors from practicing in #Canada – even after they've received their #Canadian qualifications. Every year, scores of these doctors are turned down for the residencies they need in order to practice – and many of those residencies stay vacant. Through interviews with #medical professionals and #HumanRights advocates it becomes clear that #SystemicRacism is to blame. Strikingly, several doctors interviewed for this film would not speak on camera, fearing repercussions from the medical establishment. What is the real problem: the incompetence of foreign-trained doctors or the #injustice of the system?

@ChrisMayLA6 this is the Systemic part of the #SystemicRacism we go on about

This was real. It was from 2018 when Donald called African countries “shit holes.” And this is how you run a news publication.

I’m exhausted by the journalistic complacency about this not-normal fascist totalitarianism. The people with pens and paper MUST tell it like it is. We need more of this.

"An investigation by the Washington Post found that authorities had evidence, including video, that Volar was abusing about a dozen girls including Kizer - all of whom appeared to be underage."

Chrystul Kizer jailed for 11 years for killing her abuser

Chrystul Kizer agrees a plea deal to avoid life term for shooting dead Randall Volar, whom she said was her sex-trafficker.

Where the confusion of #racism comes from.

There's two well used meanings of the word #rascist.

Like, #systemicracism, and #prejudice racism.

Most non #academic people who hear the word racism, they likely think of prejudice racism.

When you say all white people are racist this depends on the specific definition of racism in use and you must be clear on this in your writing.

For systemic racism, I think we should use another more clear word, to better communicate what you actually mean.

People of color [#POC] are disproportionately represented among the #US #prison population. At the end of 2022, #Black people comprised 32% of the federal & state prison population, but only 14.4% of the total US population. Experts attribute these disparities to a variety of factors, including #SystemicRacism in #policing practices & policies that disproportionately affect communities of color.

Israel committing genocide in Gaza, say Israel-based human rights groups

Reports detailing intentional targeting of Palestinians as a group, and systemic destruction of Palestinian society, add to pressure for action

🤔 Imagine this: You're subjected to increased racist attacks while in prison and once released, there's even more chance of being returned than if you are white.

"Even though I’m free, I ain’t free’ "

"Studies show that Black men who have experienced incarceration have higher rates of PTSD, depression and psychological distress compared with Black men who have never been incarcerated."
