I just wanted to take a minute to say just how proud I am of our players they have demonstrated nothing but class and maturity beyond their years and when clowns from the Blues and Vegas were acting like fools on camera our boys were classy and composed now they have shown they are concerned with social justice issues great group of humans we have on our Canucks roster

I have watched all material and have the following comments: - what happened at Evergreen was frankly a bizarre event propagated by frankly an emotionally disturbed black professor that effectively incited the student body. The student body having years of their own racial experiences struck out in a mob mentality and the target was Mr. Weinstein: this was further exasperated by weak leadership at the university that feared being labeled racists themSelves. All in all a odd situation but in my opinion not indicative with what is happening in other incidents across the US - I do not feel this incident at evergreen is indicative of people’s perceptions to video evidence of incidents involving people of colour like the Floyd case. yes it is a boiling point and often acts like that trigger pent up frustration to a point where people need to act and speak up. This is an option much more feasible in today’s Digital world - you asked if I felt the definition of racism has changed. I do not feel the definition has changed at all. It is an inherent bias or hate for another not justified by a factual reason. What has changed is the perception of racism and what happened at Evergreen is individuals with their own predetermined bias determined a persons actions or inaction to be racist.

In my experience most people that have racist tendencies tend to blame others for their own inadequacies and draw in life whether that is a lack of education lack of a well paying job lack of friends lack of a nice home lack of a partner it’s easier to strike out at others instead of looking inward at your own demons and inadequacy so they hate
