CBC Newsworld
I'm getting quite addicted to this channel, especially their show the Passionate Eye. I just hope that it's not like another CNN or something. I too, also watched an episode of the passionate eye where they were talking about racism towards aboriginals and how this one lady was trying to teach about racism by reversing the situation. The one thing that really got to me was how one aboriginal stated that he felt insulted when people treat him like any other average person. Usually people think they're not racist because they don't really take notice of their heritage or what not, but judge them based on their character. Yet, to that aboriginal man, that was insulting because people were not acknowledging his heritage. He basically said why can't you see me as a brown eyed person? So yeah, I wonder how many times people have offended without even knowing?
Just now, I finished watching an episode of David Suzuki's the Nature of Things (also on the same channel), where he talked about Union Carbide (now Dow) and the accident in Bhopal. I wonder how much power these companies have. The US gov't isn't really doing anything either unless they can link it to national security (ie safety of chemical plants located in the US). But one other thing that came to my mind is that the episode I saw seem to be quite one sided. Almost like someone else...
In response to my previous post, as someone who does believe in evolution, I really want to know what he said. I suppose it's a theory, but I only know of evidence for, not really any against.
