Black History
Because my suburban city is going through a major change of "color" and I hear here and there stuff I don't like from people I wouldn't expect such stupidities, I've decided to talk about Canadian Black History, which of course is closely related to African-American. I'm pretty excited about it, I don't know much, but there is a unit in the official book I can lean on and I am improving my knowledge a bit everyday. I've watched Amazing Grace to see if I could present it, but it's too complex for my grade nine. There are good stuff on internet, but I'll try to find a good book on that. I don't want to focus on slavery, I'm nore into "hey, they've been with us for 300 years; get a life!" Since I haven't a native kid in my whole career in my life, it makes us all descendant of immigrants. I have a good documentary explaining how racism made the Caucasian country that Canada is. As for the complexity of that film, I simply don't mind, I will show it piece by piece if necessary, but they'll watch it. That should be very lively and my black newbies gonna love it.
I have taught about homosexuality a few years ago and in Quebec, at least among the youth of my area, it is no big deal for many of them,so I dropped it, but I feel something stinky about the fact that caucasian should represent only 50% of the population in few decades. They are not prepared, ok, how can people need to be prepared for something like skin color? mmmm... too deep for me and I'm on my way to a restarurant for a birthday's friend, I said yes, but that was before I was told we should be 25 people, that's about 20 too many for me....
