Interview #45 - Black in Sask with Vibya Natana
Hey folks, welcome to another great interview from The Mind of a Skeptical Leftist. This time around I talk to Vibya Natana from the local group Black in Sask. We talk about the organization and some of the things they’re doing as well as racism in Canada, the US, and more specifically Saskatchewan.
I want to mention briefly that I do talk a little bit about people I either work with or have worked with in the past and it isn’t my intention to call them out or to alienate them in any way but to simply point out that sometimes the language that is used in these majority white workplaces can be really shitty, even if nobody is calling it out. I’m not going to make excuses for people who denigrate Black folks, Indigenous folks, or members of any other marginalized groups. I do however live among and work with people who say shitty things on a regular basis and I have to have a decent relationship with them and I believe that given the right opportunity most people will see the error of their ways and change their behavior. It isn’t the duty of marginalize people to educate white dudes, it’s my job and I just have to find the right ways to do it for each individual that I meet
Now that I have this caveat out of the way I want to say thank you to all my patrons including newish patrons Jamie, Humbolt, and the Occultae Veritatis podcast, thank you, and an extra big thanks to Jamie for the extra donation on buymeacoffee, and of course a heartfelt thank you to everyone who listens or watches. Please make sure to share the show with your friends or family who may be interested in the perspective of an anarchist who also happens to be a laborer in a conservative province. If you want to become a patron you can do that at patreon.com/skepticalleftist or you can send a one time donation to buymeacoffee.com/skepticallefty. If you can’t support my work financially then a 5 star rating or review on Apple podcasts or one of the podcast review sites would be great.
You can watch or listen to a slightly longer version of this episode by becoming a patron
