A controversial presentation by a school trustee in western Manitoba has members of nearby communities in disbelief.
At a public meeting of the Mountain View School Division on Monday, trustee Paul Coffey gave a half-hour long talk on the topic of “racism and anti-racism,” a speech subsequently criticized as ignorant and offensive by local leaders.
In his presentation, Coffey suggested residential schools served a ‘good’ purpose, and that land acknowledgements cause division by “blaming whites for taking land and telling Indians that they should be sorry because their land was stolen.”
Coffey also asserted that the term ‘white privilege’ is racist, and that he refuses to use any term to describe Indigenous people other than ‘Indian’. He also said schools should not post signs recognizing inclusivity, and that he refuses to use acronyms when discussing members of the LGBTQ+ community.

And yet blatant anti-White hatred is not only condoned but even celebrated. You say you're against racism, but only want to cross half the street. Meanwhile, I have more important things to do.

The trolls are in full force on RU-vid, it's rare to find a civilized comment these days. It's hard to avoid the comment section though.

So why are they okay with being called Native Americans, since that is a Eurocentric, and Euro-produced name?

@drywallerbuddy 20 дней назад

We’re all not. I want to be called an Indian, like my certificate of Indian status from the government of Canada calls me.

I think most people are tired of the so called indigenous people with their hand out.

@drywallerbuddy 20 дней назад

Unfortunately for you most people though, there’s contracts signed between the government and the Anishnaabe people and we all know how non Anishnaabe like their paper words. It’s not our fault or yours that both sides must honour the paper. If they threw out that paper, someone might throw out the paper to yours or my belongings after that.

"To have a trustee say what he said is not acceptable." Who do you think you are to tell people what to say and think, right or wrong? You don't control everything.

@aavvcc 20 дней назад

But there are many indigenous people who still use or prefer the term “Indian”. They are also many indigenous-led organizations that use that word in their names.

@bulthaosen1169 20 дней назад

Honestly speaking as an actual indian from asia I think they should stop using the word indian for themselves. It's confusing and a name given by the colonists.

@aavvcc 17 дней назад

@@bulthaosen1169 Fair point. One issue though is that the term “Indian” is used in legal terms in Canada (including The Indian Act (1985)), and in treaties that bear legal power to this day. Removing the term completely may be next to impossible.
