You think your pain and your heartbreak are unprecedented in the history of the world, but then you read.

The Kerner Report confronted a tense nation with data about structural racism throughout the country and made recommendations to solve the problem. But America looked away.

Published in 2016, this article contains explanations of the 1968 Kerner Report and asks: Is America repeating the mistakes of 1968?

Racism is supported by myths embedded in our political culture, such as variations on the theme that "we" trace our origins to brave tenacious ancestors who came from elsewhere to create this good society. These myths ignore the reality of colonial occupation of Aboriginal lands, and the displacement and subordination of Aboriginal peoples, all through official policies. Racism exists in the faith so many have in the myth of liberalism- that ultimately, we are all autonomous agents who choose the conditions of our lives. This myth is tied to a lack of appreciation of how, to paraphrase Karl Marx, if we act as agents, it is in contexts, and in conditions, that are not of our choosing. Racism exists because of the conflation of the circumstances of peoples' lives with their aspirations about their lives- as though Aboriginal people "choose" statistically probable lives of immiseration. Above all, the myths of the dominant society ignore the reality that the social context and economic wealth for the settler community is based on "white privilege," the toolkit of positive assumptions and advantages that Aboriginal citizens do not share.

Biking in Berlin even with sore muscles - thx @mr.illington for the quick pic & joining me on the long way to the brewery.

This bike is where I put my butt all day every day. We’re still friends. (at Amsterdam-Noord)

Had a lovely ride into Amsterdam today, the end of my month long European tour. My buddy took me along the North Sea shore through beautiful sand dunes and wild dry landscapes. The tour was 3100km over 30 days and 7 countries. My flight to Canada is in 17 days and I’ll be back in toronto in one month. (at Scheveningen, Zuid-Holland, Netherlands)

Bikepacking route turned into improv, curiousity-based, exploring adventure route really showed me the best side of touring in Germany today, & got me out of the shade & outta my head for a bit. The key is leave the favourite “easy” routes and don’t be afraid to double back or climb steep hills and definitely don’t be in a rush. (at Neustadt, Rheinland-Pfalz, Germany)

Me. Biking. Everyday. Forever. #biketour #summervacation (at Worms, Germany)

Some nights stealth or “wild” camping looks like this and sometimes it doesn’t. But it’s helping me stick to a pretty low budget on this European trip; I wouldn’t be able to travel without it! (at Switzerland)

I liked these mountains and they followed me around for a bit yesterday. Cycling through France has made me feel so normal for how much time and money I spend on bikes. Shortly after I took this pic I got to swim in the beautiful clear lake. (at Lake Annecy French Alps)

Rainbow is a good sign that I’m in the right place ❤️🧡💛💚💙💜💖🌈⛰ (at Susa, Italy)

I’m in Italy, bikes everywhere! #surlytravelerscheck #biketouring #italy (at Cuneo)
