Perhaps you paid in advance, but I doubt it. Sitting enjoying coffee at the Halifax Forum Farmers Market, I (an older black woman) watched you (a younger white woman) grab a bunch of carrots from a table staffed by Elmridge Farm, stuff it into your Sobeys bag and keep walking. Yes, Sobeys, recently cold-busted for its racial profiling of black people! I immediately got up and followed you to the Noggins Farm line. I pondered confronting you. But on the off chance you had paid for the carrots, I decided to…let the cosmic forces deal with it. And people wonder why black folk are “so angry” all the time. —The Content of Our Character

Here’s an interesting fact: The first female police officer in Canada was a black woman named Rose Fortune, who escaped slavery in the U.S. and she lived and worked here in Nova Scotia.
I’m stepping away from the 10 foot barge pole.
What does a ‘young white girl’ stealing some carrots have to do with ‘black folk’ being angry? Hundreds of people off all nationalities, ethnicities and walks of life steal things everday. You had an opportunity to confront a thief and you didn’t. Hmmm, yes content of our character indeed.
Btw, your race and age group are totally relevant to rest of this bitch, thanks for adding that pertinent information, nice to know how you look at the world.
Let’s be totally honest. The S*b#ys bag is utterly irrelevant to this bitch. Except as a contrived way to conflate 2 issues that really have sod all to do with one another.
Nice try, but the Poet Laureate job is already taken.
Racist.
yes, where lack of racism exists, the regressive left seek to force racism on us. So let me get a laugh out of this a bit. The other day, another rag in this city did a page on how North Preston gets a bad rap. so let me enlighten you folks a bit. In the late 90’sa warrant was served to a NPF. two plainclothed police officers drove into NP and arrested the guy and took him back to ON where he was charged with murder, trafficking etc. TODAY, the NPF are in an active turf war with Jamaican gangs in Toronto and the Niagara Region. When they murder someone there, they flee back to Nova Scotia and hide out in NP. the trail of bodies left by NPF there include a 17 year old white kid shot to death in front of his prom-after party buddies in Niagara Falls. clearly the 17 year old kid deserved it right because the NPF were upset they weren’t able to crash the party and pimp out some underage girls there too.
I don’t understand what race has to do with this. People from all colours and creeds shoplift. Heck, have you never seen Aladdin?
And today’s headline “Cosmic Force Arrests Shoplifter”. I hope that made your day.
The Coast posts the oddest Bitches. Similar comments would see (have seen) commenters chopped. This Bitch only solidifies the positions of those contrary to the boycott side. This new breed of SJWs didn’t pay attention to the teachings of those who preceded them and will have to suffer with the error of their ways.
Not only do some people of all nationalities steal, but someone of every nationality has been a victim of mistaken identity and/or accused of something that they didn’t do. Big fucking deal, move on.
