Racism Replicates: Anti-Black Racism

racism replicates: History informs anti-black racism and racial stereotypes that are so deeply entrenched in institutions, policies and practices, that its institutional and systemic forms are either functionally normalized or rendered invisible, especially to the dominant group, the UN officials wrote, according to National Observer. This contemporary form of racism replicates the historical ... conditions and effects of spatial segregation, economic disadvantage and social exclusion. Some report findings released in August raised deep concerns about Canada's legacy of anti-black racism, which traces its origins to slavery in the 16th century and reverberates into the present day. Slavery was abolished in the British colonies in the 1830s. It is important to underline that the experience of African Canadians is unique because of the particular history of anti-black racism in Canada, the report said. The working group laid out dozens of recommendations to redress past and present wrongs affecting African-Canadians, the first among which calls on the Canadian government to apologize for slavery and consider issuing reparations.
