“The early 20th Century was probably the high tide of global white supremacy - I'm going to call it that because that's how people thought of it - and to be specific, Anglo-Saxon supremacy: The idea that white Anglo-Saxon Protestants were at the top of the world, representing the highest achievement possible for all of humanity, with Darwin's theories being used to prop up this belief.” PeopleWorldIdeasUsedHumanityBeliefWhiteCenturyTheoryAchievementHighestTides20th CenturyWhite SupremacyRepresentingProtestantsPropsSupremacyAnglo SaxonTop Of The World Author:George Elliott Clarke
“The way racism works in Canada, it's very subtle. You may feel you're a victim of racism or have experienced racism, but you can't necessarily prove it - unless you get a [white] friend to go check out that rental, go check out that job, whatever. Unless you're willing to really dig to prove you're a victim of racism, it might be difficult to do that. And so what you're dealing with then is feeling, it's emotion.” WayFeelsMayFeelingsMightJobsDifficultWhiteEmotionWillingProveRacismVictimChecksCanadaSubtleProve It Author:George Elliott Clarke
“I suppose the "dilemma" might come up if I see a black athlete from the U.S. squaring off against a white Canadian athlete. Who do I want to identify with? I certainly will not and cannot say that race determines how I see competition. I'm certainly aware of how race plays into the way others see and portray competition some times, but I don't have to invest in it that way myself. Unless it's boxing.” IfsWayWantPlayMightBlackWhiteRaceCompetitionAthleteDetermineCome UpBoxingDilemma Author:George Elliott Clarke
