AFRICAN PERSPECTIVE

Recently,I had predicted that the gun violence incidences that have dominated the face of Toronto for almost the entire year of 2005 will soon take a race marathon.My prediction was right.Its now an issue of racism.My prediction had based on the timing of the issue itself(when Canada was approaching campaign and during the campaigns itself)Normally,this is what happens when a social issue turns to be a political issue.In my opinion,gun violence is more of a social nightmare and not a political gamble.
I have always hated to discuss racism.I consider any racist very dilute people.However,hating discussing it does not mean that I am blindfolded when it happens or when it attacks someone else or even myself.In the case of the recent killings on Yonge Street,Toronto the problem,as I said above,could be the timing or pure racially motivated and enriched approach.
Nevertheless,in this incidence I must bend down and agree that the elements of racism have clouded the air and if not well tackled and detailed explained it jeopardise the whole initiative of witnessing safe cities again.The troubles that happened in France in 2005 were caused by similar approaches,similar negligence,similar elements and above all similar political non-sense.Read this article here and if you can explain WHY,HOW,WHERE and WHO and WHEN.Lets fight racism.
