A black student group at York University in Canada is hosting a first aid training session only for black students and describes the accusations of racism for barring white students as “anti-black racism.”
The student group, York United Black Students’ Alliance, got into hot water after a student, Jake Janic, complained publicly via a student Facebook group. Janic posted a picture of the poster which read: “catering to black students only”.
The York University group added that offering CPR and first aid training exclusively for black students is both a “responsibility” and a “duty” because of the oppression at the university.
“York University since it’s inception has had a longstanding history of erasure of black bodies, black students, and black space on this campus,” the statement added.
What is a black space?
“For white folks to claim that they need additional space with whiteness subsumed in the entirety of the Canadian context is idiotic. The idea that some folks believe that white supremacy needs to be perpetuated by carving out even more space for white folks is redundant,” the group wrote.
