Kardinal Offishall On Carding, Black Lives Matter, And The Politics Of Racism

“I mean it’s a tough one and it’s, to be completely honest, it’s tough being a black man living in Canada. The one thing I like about America is at least the racists will come out and say “we’re racists, we don’t like you.”

What I don’t like about what we do here is we do the exact same racist things, because carding was a huge thing in America, and the thing is it’s actually happening here [but] we just pretend like it’s not happening. We don’t discuss it. It’s not front page news, second, third, fourth, it’s somewhere in the back.

It’s a psychological thing that makes myself, and others that look like me, feel like we’re crazy whenever we speak out. Every time people are like, “What are you talking about? That doesn’t happen here.” We’re like, “yes, [and] we gotta change it.” They’re like “Never heard of it….you just gotta be cool, man, everybody loves each other.”

And that’s one thing I really don’t like about Canada, so it’s difficult for me to say that I would want the politicians to really start speaking about it — unless they’re really gonna do something about it.”

Okay, so here’s the deal.  Tali loves the fridge.  I don’t know why, but every single time we open it, she bolts for it and jumps in.  She crawls into the back of the fridge and nestles int the smallest little corner she can.  Now naturally, my biggest fear has been that I’ll close the fridge without knowing she’s in there.  And of course, today I went to go grab my Brita filter to pour myself some water.  I wasn’t really watching the fridge, and I just opened and closed it really quickly to put the Brita back while I was looking somewhere else.  And then I looked around and realized that Tali had been in the kitchen, and now she was nowhere in sight.  So immediately, I throw open the fridge door, and there is is, hanging out in the back, content as can be.

Retro Game Room Version 2 I needed to patch the walls and paint, so I thought I might as well change it all up.
