The demonstration, titled ’Driving While Black,’ comes amid a widespread movement to bring attention to police treatment of BIPOC (Black, Indigenous and people of colour) communities

“I was even told it’s because I didn’t look like someone who could afford such a car,” Dorvilier said at a protest in Montreal on Sunday.Dorvilier was among a convoy of nearly 60 Black motorists who drove to Quebec Premier Francois Legault’s office in the suburb of L’Assomption, about an hour outside the city, to protest racial profiling.

The demonstrators eventually made it to Legault’s office, where they read out their demands from a letter detailing 10 ways to stop Black people from being targeted by police while driving. The province’s human rights commission ruled at the end of 2019 that the city of Montreal should stop police checks as they “disproportionately affect certain groups.”Fo Niemi, executive director of the Centre for Research Against Race Relations, said Sunday he’s been receiving complaints from people across the province — including as far west as Gatineau — about police checks. He said there’s a growing number of them coming from suburban areas, where more and more Black people are moving.

“Even if he’s young, I think he has to be informed of the situation. Because he’s a young Black person who lives in Montreal and it could happen to him in the future,” Dorceus said.

So they all bought bikes from their proceeds of crime, nothing new there or is the vin redone.

They’ve been radicalized

Whenever I see who is a suspect in crimes of violence, robbery etc. I see faces that are 95% non-white, non-asian, non-hispanic. Maybe we should have a separate set of laws for those faces. We could have something like, you know, apartheid. Yeah - that's the ticket.

When they protest the violence within their own community get back to us.

they are the garbage of this city.

The golem rouses

Just obey the law...

Why? Cowardly politicians and the media have been doing it to white people for years?

gosh 🥴

End home invasions and carjacking... Black crimes matter

But I thought racism didnt exist in Quebec? Thats what all the white frenchies told me 🤔
