In wake of recent shooting incidents in Toronto (about five involving youth in June and July, 2012), Torontonians--and in particular--were subjected a discourse about youth that was last heard seven years ago (2005) during what was dubbed summer of gun. That discourse presented youth as thugs, foreigners, gang and consequently, potential lawbreakers who were prone violence; and that Black bears sole responsibility for addressing issues. For its part, the community--often putting aside its diversity, complexity and instability--tends take upon itself ascribed responsibility for problems. For instance, in reacting the largest mass shootings in Toronto's history--write The Globe and Mail reporters, Timothy Appleby and Adrian Morrow (July 19, 2012)--Toronto's mayor, Rob Ford, commented: going hopefully meet with Prime Minister see if we can toughen our gun laws.... Once they're charged and they go jail most important thing is when they get out of jail. I don't want them living in They can go anywhere else, but I don't want them in city. Saying that he will have find out our immigration laws work,' Ford went on assert, whatever I can do get them out of city, I'm going to, regardless of whether they have family or friends. I don't want these people, if they're convicted of a gun crime, have anything do with City of Toronto. And despite their assessment of mayor's comments as impulsive and careless ... some bordering on racism, Akwasi Owusu-Bempah and Wendell Adjetey (themselves Black/African Canadians), in their guest contribution Toronto Star (Tuesday, July 24, 2012), wrote that community members met with mayor to confer about possible solutions. The authors concluded that while mayor appeared attentive community's concerns, he did not seem appreciate feedback he received. Ford obviously believes we can arrest our way out of problem ... [and] had no qualms telling those in attendance that he did not believe poverty is a major contributing factor--again despite evidence contrary. The recent (2010) book, Race on Trial: Defendants in Ontario's Criminal Courts, 1858-1958 by Barrington Walker, provides important insights for understanding and framing recent incidents in Toronto and mayor's comments with reference of bodies, including his expectations of judicial system deal with them, and members' mindset of taking responsibility for issues. The fact is: contemporary issues and related discourses pertaining people are rooted in historical, social and judicial framework of multicultural Canada. As such, Walker's study of blackness through eyes--the legal artifacts--of dominant culture (12) is an important reference for understanding institutional and judicial roots of anti-Black racism. In so doing, he sheds new light--showing contradictions--on Canada's long-held claim of being a society in which race does not matter, and Underground Railroad is celebrated as a symbol of freedom Canada afforded Africans who escaped enslavement in United States of America. Walker cogently shows how blackness in Canada was quite literally a product of law (5), and was sometimes considered a part of Canada and at other times something foreign it (22). Historically, this foreignness has been particularly ascribed those who break law. In case of those black people born outside of Canada, they tend be forever immigrants; hence, once they commit a crime, efforts are made have them deported. …

Imitation des enseignantsNi prévalence calibrée, ni vérité terrain. Validation humaine à venir. Le volet Gemma est une étiquette directe du modèle pour chaque travail de la base, lue sur la notice réduite au titre. Le volet Codex est un classifieur appris des 10 348 étiquettes directes de Codex et calibré sur les taux pondérés de l'échantillon; les champs sans appui suffisant ne portent aucun appel Codex. Le mode candidate est l'union des deux volets; le consensus est leur intersection. Ces sorties portent le statut machine_predicted_unvalidated et ne sont pas des étiquettes humaines.
