A talk by Toronto Star columnist, radio host and activist, Desmond Cole.<\/div>\n
Presented by: ASSU and UTSU. Part of eXpression Against Oppression and the City Series.<\/div>\n
\n

The Black community within Toronto continues to experience extreme marginalization, systemetic disadvantage, restricted access to housing, racial profiling in policing\/security\/education, criminalization, over-representation in the criminal justice system, and high levels of unemployment. These injustices are continuously neglected by the general public, and are thus unaccounted for.<\/p>\n

On Tuesday, November 17th, 2015 from 7-9 PM join Desmond Cole in an unfiltered discussion on the ways in which anti-Black racism manifests in Toronto and the affirmative actions that need to be taken by Torontonians, the police force, and the government in order to remedy these injustices. In addition, a portion of this event will\u00a0be dedicated to proper anti-Black racism allyship, and what it means to be an ally to the\u00a0#BlackLivesMatter\u00a0movement. Non-Black allies are also encouraged to contribute to the space by way of active listening and internalized reflection.<\/p>\n<\/div>","excerpt":"","slug":"we-are-in-a-state-of-emergency-anti-black-racism-in-to-with-desmond-cole","image":false,"all_day":false,"start_date":"2015-11-17 19:00:00","start_date_details":{"year":"2015","month":"11","day":"17","hour":"19","minutes":"00","seconds":"00"},"end_date":"2015-11-17 21:00:00","end_date_details":{"year":"2015","month":"11","day":"17","hour":"21","minutes":"00","seconds":"00"},"utc_start_date":"2015-11-18 00:00:00","utc_start_date_details":{"year":"2015","month":"11","day":"18","hour":"00","minutes":"00","seconds":"00"},"utc_end_date":"2015-11-18 02:00:00","utc_end_date_details":{"year":"2015","month":"11","day":"18","hour":"02","minutes":"00","seconds":"00"},"timezone":"UTC-5","timezone_abbr":"","cost":"","cost_details":{"currency_symbol":"","currency_code":"","currency_position":"prefix","values":[]},"website":"assu.ca\/city ","show_map":true,"show_map_link":true,"hide_from_listings":false,"sticky":false,"featured":false,"categories":[{"name":"frontpage","slug":"frontpage","term_group":0,"term_taxonomy_id":56,"taxonomy":"tribe_events_cat","description":"","parent":0,"count":3,"filter":"raw","id":55,"urls":{"self":"https:\/\/assu.ca\/wp\/wp-json\/tribe\/events\/v1\/categories\/55","collection":"https:\/\/assu.ca\/wp\/wp-json\/tribe\/events\/v1\/categories"}}],"tags":[],"venue":{"id":2924,"author":"1","status":"publish","date":"2015-11-16 14:02:20","date_utc":"2015-11-16 19:02:20","modified":"2015-11-16 14:02:20","modified_utc":"2015-11-16 19:02:20","url":"https:\/\/assu.ca\/wp\/venue\/hart-house-debates-room\/","venue":"Hart House – Debates Room","slug":"hart-house-debates-room","address":"7 Hart House Circle","city":"Toronto ","country":"Canada","province":"Ontario","zip":"M5S3H3","website":"www.harthouse.ca","stateprovince":"Ontario","json_ld":{"@type":"Place","name":"Hart House – Debates Room","description":"","url":"","address":{"@type":"PostalAddress","streetAddress":"7 Hart House Circle","addressLocality":"Toronto ","addressRegion":"Ontario","postalCode":"M5S3H3","addressCountry":"Canada"},"telephone":"","sameAs":"www.harthouse.ca"},"show_map":true,"show_map_link":true,"global_id":"assu.ca\/wp?id=2924","global_id_lineage":["assu.ca\/wp?id=2924"]},"organizer":[{"id":1767,"author":"46","status":"publish","date":"2013-03-05 16:35:19","date_utc":"2013-03-05 21:35:19","modified":"2013-03-05 16:35:19","modified_utc":"2013-03-05 21:35:19","url":"https:\/\/assu.ca\/wp\/organizer\/assu-2\/","organizer":"ASSU","slug":"assu-2","json_ld":{"@type":"Person","name":"ASSU","description":"","url":"","telephone":"","email":"","sameAs":""},"global_id":"assu.ca\/wp?id=1767","global_id_lineage":["assu.ca\/wp?id=1767"]}],"custom_fields":[],"json_ld":{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org","@type":"Event","name":"We are in a State of Emergency: Anti Black Racism in TO with Desmond Cole","description":"<p>  Nov. 17th \u2013 Hart House Debates Room \u2013 7 PM RSVP here:\u00a0https:\/\/www.eventbrite.ca\/e\/we-are-in-a-state-of-emergency-anti-black-racism-in-to-a-talk-with-desmond-cole-tickets-19454313375 A talk by Toronto Star columnist, radio host and activist, Desmond Cole.
