继最近和历史事件之后,加拿大辩论禁止将绞索作为打击反黑人种族主义的仇恨象征。
Canada debates banning the noose as a hate symbol to combat anti-Black racism, following recent and historical incidents.
黑人历史月应该推动行动, 倡导者们说,正如加拿大辩论C-9法案时所说, 一项针对仇恨符号的法律提案。
Black History Month should drive action, advocates say, as Canada debates Bill C-9, a proposed law targeting hate symbols.
黑机会基金的克雷格·惠灵顿(Craig Wellington)敦促政府明确禁止作为仇恨象征的绞索,强调加拿大反黑人种族主义的历史,包括1920年代和1930年代的三K党活动,如1930年在奥克维尔的交叉焚烧。
Craig Wellington of the Black Opportunity Fund urges the government to explicitly ban the noose as a hate symbol, highlighting Canada’s history of anti-Black racism, including Ku Klux Klan activity in the 1920s and 1930s, such as a 1930 cross-burning in Oakville.
最近的事件,就像在新斯科舍省发现的2021年的绞索一样,表明符号仍然是恐吓的工具。
Recent incidents, like a 2021 noose found in Nova Scotia, show the symbol remains a tool of intimidation.
黑人领导的团体强调,在法律上承认绞刑将澄清执法问题,遏制仇恨犯罪,申明加拿大黑人的安全和尊严,确保法律反映当前的现实,并表明对打击反黑人种族主义的严肃承诺。
Black-led groups stress that recognizing the noose legally would clarify enforcement, deter hate crimes, and affirm the safety and dignity of Black Canadians, ensuring laws reflect present realities and demonstrate a serious commitment to combating anti-Black racism.
