Is White Supremacy and structural racism as strong in Canada as in USA?

[Anonymous]

I ask because Blacks in Canada are just as likely to be in prison as Blacks in the USA when adjusted per capita. In the USA, Blacks are 13% of the general population and 37% of the prison population, so slightly less than three times higher. In Canada, Blacks are 3.5% of total population and 9.2% of prison population, so slightly less than three times higher. If it's not White Supremacy and structural racism, why are Blacks disproportionately in prison in Canada?

Yes, obviously White Supremacy and structural racism.

No, it is something else.

I think you meant ‘systemic’ racism, not “structural”. Ell oh ell!
News flash! It can be both things. People are complicated. Societies and governments even more so. The bad news is: We’re never going to get everything right. The good news is: We’re just as likely to never get everything wrong.
As long as we recognize that we have room for improvement and move mindfully and intelligently toward improvement, we can count on a promising future.
The two-sides of the uniparty are telling people either “Everything is just fine and we don’t need to fix anything” or “Everything is Hell incarnate and it all must be completely destroyed and rebuilt only as we see fit!”. Ell oh ell!
There’s no compromise anymore. So nothing changes for the better.

Try going to Africa where Blacks are genocides by other Blacks. Then you will have no one to blame.

If black people commit crimes they deserve prison time just like white people do.

Right, but why are there disproportionately more black people in prison?

I do not know. White Supremacy is not really a thing in the US. Maybe Canada is different.

Racism is baked into any colonial founded society.

It exists, just not to Benighted States Of Amerikkka levels.

[Asker]

Then why are Blacks just as likely to be imprisoned in Canada?

[beefcakebradybatson]

Not quite to the extent of Indigenous people, but much higher than our four or so percent of the Canadian population.
