Newsweek wakes up for a second...says stop calling truckers racist
No shit:

Quote:
Liberal politicians and mainstream media corporations want you to believe that the trucker convoy in Ottawa is racist. The first line of attack on the truckers was to focus public attention on bizarre, still unexplained images of horrible Nazi and Confederate flags being waved at the protest. Prime Minister Justin Trudeau can barely do a press conference these days without mentioning racism, and Canada's socialist political party, the NDP, even brought a legislative bill forward to ban particular symbols of hate.
"This is a story of a country that got through this pandemic by being united—and a few people shouting and waving swastikas does not define who Canadians are," Trudeau told lawmakers recently, and his view is the only one you'll see represented in Canada's press when it comes to the Freedom Convoy.
But they are wrong.
It will be uncomfortable for some to read this, but the truth must be said: We have no reason to believe the majority of truckers in the convoy are racist. In fact, appropriate for the month of February, the trucker convoy is actually a Black history moment.
Countless trucker convoy participants and supporters are Black. A popular Instagram account called "poc4freedomconvoy" (shorthand for People of Color for Freedom Convoy) with over 60,000 followers has documented the outpouring of support that the trucker convoy received from members of Black communities across Canada. The account's first post is a picture of Chanceline Rukundo that reads, "I am Burundian/Canadian and I support the #freedomconvoy2022."

Thanks for posting. Obviously the media is lying about the Truckers, who are a diverse group of working-class citizens.

Amazing they call truckers racist. In Vancouver, BC over a quarter of them are from India.

Exactly the people government wants to silence and persecute. Gov wants people to be dependent on them. Stupity is what they want.
