\"\"“Injustice Anywhere is a Threat to Justice Everywhere”
\r\n\t\t\u2013 Martin Luther King Jr.<\/em><\/p>\r\n<\/blockquote>\r\n

Once again a spotlight has been put on systemic anti-Black racism in the justice system \u2013 one that has oppressed Black, racialized, and Indigenous people for centuries. Most recently, in the United States, Ahmaud Arbery<\/strong> a Black man who was simply jogging was shot to death, and George Floyd<\/strong> a Black man buying groceries, was killed by police officers. Breonna Taylor<\/strong>, a Black woman, was shot in her home in the middle of the night.<\/p>\r\n

In other cases, white people threatened to call the police on Black people for simply participating in every day activities such as: bird-watching, working out in a gym, driving through a neighborhood, etc. These are activities white people do without fear every day and yet, for Black citizens, no activity can be accepted as \u201csafe\u201d when society is rife with systemic racism and those entrusted to protect all citizens repeatedly murder unarmed Black civilians.<\/p>\r\n

Only after videos were released and protests erupted across the country were charges brought against police officers in two cases involving the killing of unarmed Black men. Not enough is being done<\/strong>. Anyone who uses unnecessary violence and force, whether resulting in death or harm must be held accountable \u2013 especially police officers and white supremacists. Rarely in the past have they been charged let alone convicted.<\/p>\r\n

There are those who feel that this is an American issue. It is a Canadian issue too.  Black people across Canada have been, and continue to be, racially profiled through carding and other forms of racially biased surveillance. A 2018 interim report from the Ontario Human Rights Commission found that Black people are grossly over-represented in police violence in Ontario. Although the Black population was about 8.8% in Ontario in 2016, use-of-force cases involving Black people was 30%. During the period 2013-2017, deadly police encounters with Black people were 60% and fatal shootings were 70%. Most recently, it was alleged that police were involved in the death of Regis Korchinski-Paquet<\/strong>, an Indigenous-Black woman who fell to her death from the 24th floor balcony of an apartment in Toronto.<\/p>\r\n

Black people must be able to walk, jog, shop, play, work, sleep and engage in everyday activities without fearing for their lives. Black lives matter<\/strong>. Black parents should not have to talk and prepare their children about violence and hatred directed towards them as a result of the colour of their skin, including the possibility of being killed by those who were meant to protect them. Black lives matter<\/strong>.<\/p>\r\n

PSAC stands in solidarity with the Black community and demands justice both in the United States and in Canada. The impact of systemic racism must be recognized.  The pain, and the impact of the repeated killing of Black and racialized people, and the continuous images of violence against Black and racialized people in the media and social media platforms must be recognized. Black Lives Matter<\/strong>.<\/p>\r\n

PSAC demands that racial profiling and the unnecessary violence used against Black people be stopped immediately. Before justice can be served, a complete overhaul of the criminal justice system and other systems that support the oppression of Black, racialized and Indigenous People must be undertaken as a first step to eliminate the deep-rooted systemic racism and unconscious bias against Black, racialized and Indigenous people.<\/p>\r\n

Silence as white or non-racialized people is complicity with white supremacy and with continuing acts of systemic anti-Black violence. What actions can we take collectively against anti-Black violence and oppression?  How can we best support the Black community?  We must challenge our systems and institutions.  We must speak up in the face of injustice, racial violence and white supremacy. We must challenge our unconscious biases. We must be part of the solution.<\/p>\r\n

\u201cIf you stay neutral in situations of injustice, you have chosen the side of the oppressor\u201d

\"\"Une injustice commise quelque part est une menace pour la justice dans le monde entier<\/em>
\r\n\t\t\u2014 Martin Luther King Jr.<\/p>\r\n<\/blockquote>\r\n

Une fois de plus, les projecteurs sont braqu\u00e9s sur le racisme syst\u00e9mique dans le monde judiciaire \u2014un racisme qui opprime les Noirs, les personnes racialis\u00e9es et les Autochtones depuis des si\u00e8cles. R\u00e9cemment, aux \u00c9tats-Unis, Ahmaud Arbery<\/strong>, un Noir qui faisait son jogging, a \u00e9t\u00e9 tu\u00e9 par balle et George Floyd<\/strong>, un Noir qui faisait ses courses, a \u00e9t\u00e9 abattu par des policiers. Breonna Taylor<\/strong>, une femme noire, a \u00e9t\u00e9 abattue chez elle au milieu de la nuit.<\/p>\r\n

Dans d\u2019autres cas, des Blancs ont menac\u00e9 des Noirs d\u2019appeler la police alors que ces derniers ne faisaient qu\u2019observer les oiseaux, s\u2019entra\u00eener au gymnase, conduire dans un quartier \u2014 des activit\u00e9s banales que les Blancs exercent sans crainte tous les jours. Pour les citoyens noirs, aucune activit\u00e9 n\u2019est consid\u00e9r\u00e9e comme \u00ab s\u00fbre \u00bb dans un monde o\u00f9 le racisme est g\u00e9n\u00e9ralis\u00e9 et les personnes charg\u00e9es de prot\u00e9ger la population abattent r\u00e9guli\u00e8rement des civils noirs non arm\u00e9s.<\/p>\r\n

Ce n\u2019est qu\u2019apr\u00e8s la diffusion de vid\u00e9os et l\u2019\u00e9clatement de manifestations \u00e0 la grandeur des \u00c9tats-Unis que des accusations ont \u00e9t\u00e9 port\u00e9es contre des policiers dans deux affaires de meurtre d\u2019hommes noirs non arm\u00e9s. Ce n\u2019est pas assez.<\/strong> Quiconque fait usage d\u2019une violence et d\u2019une force inutiles causant la mort ou des dommages doit \u00eatre tenu responsable de ses actes, particuli\u00e8rement les agents de police et les supr\u00e9macistes blancs. Malheureusement, rares sont ceux qui ont \u00e9t\u00e9 inculp\u00e9s et encore moins condamn\u00e9s dans le pass\u00e9.<\/p>\r\n

D\u2019aucuns croient que le racisme anti-noir est un ph\u00e9nom\u00e8ne am\u00e9ricain. Qu\u2019ils se d\u00e9trompent. C\u2019est aussi un probl\u00e8me canadien. Les Noirs de tout le pays continuent d\u2019\u00eatre victimes de surveillance et de profilage racial. Un rapport int\u00e9rimaire de la Commission des droits de la personne de l\u2019Ontario datant de 2018 a r\u00e9v\u00e9l\u00e9 que les Noirs sont beaucoup plus souvent victimes de violence polici\u00e8re que les autres Ontariens. Bien que les Noirs ne repr\u00e9sentaient qu\u2019environ 8,8 % de la population ontarienne en 2016, le taux de recours \u00e0 la force \u00e0 leur endroit se situait \u00e0 30 %. Entre 2013 et 2017, le nombre de rencontres mortelles entre policiers et Noirs s\u2019\u00e9levait \u00e0 60 % et le nombre de fusillades mortelles, \u00e0 70 %. Plus r\u00e9cemment, les policiers auraient \u00e9t\u00e9 impliqu\u00e9s dans la mort de Regis Korchinski-Paquet<\/strong>, une Autocthone noire tomb\u00e9e du 24e \u00e9tage d\u2019un appartement \u00e0 Toronto.<\/p>\r\n

Les Noirs devraient pouvoir marcher, faire du jogging, magasiner, jouer, travailler, dormir et s\u2019adonner \u00e0 des activit\u00e9s quotidiennes sans craindre pour leur vie. La vie des Noirs compte.<\/strong> Les parents noirs ne devraient pas avoir \u00e0 pr\u00e9parer leurs enfants \u00e0 la violence et \u00e0 la haine dont ils feront l\u2019objet en raison de la couleur de leur peau, y compris la possibilit\u00e9 d\u2019\u00eatre tu\u00e9s par les personnes m\u00eames qui sont cens\u00e9es les prot\u00e9ger. La vie des Noirs compte.<\/strong><\/p>\r\n

L\u2019AFPC est solidaire de la communaut\u00e9 noire et r\u00e9clame la justice ici comme aux \u00c9tats-Unis. Il faut reconna\u00eetre l\u2019incidence du racisme syst\u00e9mique. Il faut reconna\u00eetre la douleur et l\u2019impact des meurtres \u00e0 r\u00e9p\u00e9tition, ainsi que les images de violence continuelle contre les personnes noires et racialis\u00e9es dans les m\u00e9dias et les m\u00e9dias sociaux. La vie des Noirs compte.<\/strong><\/p>\r\n

L\u2019AFPC plaide pour que le profilage racial et la violence gratuite \u00e0 l\u2019\u00e9gard des personnes noires cessent imm\u00e9diatement. Mais avant que justice ne soit rendue, il faut revoir compl\u00e8tement le syst\u00e8me de justice p\u00e9nale et tous les autres syst\u00e8mes qui soutiennent l\u2019oppression des personnes noires, racialis\u00e9es et autochtones. C\u2019est la toute premi\u00e8re \u00e9tape pour \u00e9liminer le racisme profond\u00e9ment enracin\u00e9 et les pr\u00e9jug\u00e9s inconscients contre ces personnes.<\/p>\r\n

Le silence des personnes blanches ou non racialis\u00e9es est synonyme de complicit\u00e9 avec le supr\u00e9macisme blanc et la violence syst\u00e9mique contre les Noirs. Comment pouvons-nous agir collectivement contre cette violence et cette oppression? Quel est le meilleur moyen de soutenir la communaut\u00e9 noire? Nous devons remettre en question nos syst\u00e8mes et nos institutions. Nous devons d\u00e9noncer l\u2019injustice, la violence raciale et la supr\u00e9matie blanche. Nous devons d\u00e9busquer nos pr\u00e9jug\u00e9s inconscients. Nous devons faire partie de la solution.<\/p>\r\n

Rester neutre face \u00e0 l\u2019injustice, c\u2019est choisir le camp de l\u2019oppresseur<\/em>
