Wellington St. Resident and Jamal Jones

Jamal Jones: Racism is real; its still here. People have the fallacy that its ended and stopped. Its very much not that, said Wellington St. resident Jamal Jones, who discovered the flyer on his door earlier this week, according to The Star. We should not judge people based on religion, race or skin colour, said the actor and retail clerk. We should judge by character and should not paint anyone with a broad brush and In Brampton, set to launch Sikh Heritage Month on Friday, residents a stones throw from city hall were shocked this week to find on their doorsteps anti-immigration flyers highlighting the Sikh community. Jones, 23, a second-generation Jamaican Canadian, found it offensive and racist. He decided to draw attention to this unacceptable act by posting a photo on Facebook, which later got picked up on Twitter and went viral. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
