Black Panther Party and Minister John McCallum

Toronto city councillor: If someone wore bullets and supported here, they would not be welcomed in the United States — that for sure, he said, according to Huffington Post Canada. Beyonce performance drew attention for an apparent homage to the Black Panther Party, known for wearing black berets and jackets similar to the ones worn by the singer and her dancers. In an interview with the Toronto Sun Monday, the Toronto city councillor questioned whether the singer should be investigated by federal Immigration Minister John McCallum before she comes to Toronto to perform in May. Karygiannis interpreted it as a tribute to the New Black Panther Party, whose leaders have encouraged violence against police officers. But Karygiannis told CP24 Tuesday if people have concerns about it, he "not the one to address them." The minister of citizenship and immigration should address them, he said. Jim Karygiannis said he wasn't trying to get the Beyonce banned from Toronto. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
