Some comments lately (nothing negative really) and some things I've been studying have left me thinking about how to have a dialogue around unsettling topics such as racism and bigotry. I feel for the most part the people here are either fairly enlightened about or at least more open to discussions on these sorts of topics, which is a tip of the hat to the nsmb community in general. Personally, I've developed a greater appreciation for the issues Indigenous peoples face in Canada and there is a great TV series called First Contact that explores some of these issues by taking six Canadians who have little knowledge or understanding of Indigenous people and throws them into the fire so to speak by immersing them in different Indigenous communities across Canada to hopefully gain a better understanding of Indigenous people and their history. The series is not without criticism and can be unsettling for some, but imo it's a great exploration into why the divide between colonial Canada and Indigenous people exist. You can watch it on TVO (TVOntario) or APTN (Aboriginal Peoples Television Network)
We don't know what our limits are, so to start something with the idea of being limited actually ends up limiting us.
