It was on this date 89-years ago that members of the Ku Klux Klan were running wild and free in southern Ontario hiding behind their white hoods as they openly attacked Blacks and other visible minorities.

The town of Oakville on what would be Black History Month made national news, when on February 28, 1930 some 75 hooded Klansmen openly burned a cross on a main street to prevent the impending marriage of a Black man to one of their local white women.

Oakville then had a population of about 4,000 residents; including an estimated 40 Blacks, who were descendants of U.S. slaves who had arrived in Canada on the Underground Railroad.

The KKK had waited until Ira Junius Johnson, then 37, and a Canadian army veteran, and his fiancee, Isabella Jones, had returned from a trip to Toronto to obtain a marriage permit.

The mob marched to a Kerr St. home where the couple were staying. There they separated the lovers and took Johnson away. The WW1 veteran could do little to comfort his soon-to-be wife, who was taken in another vehicle for “treatment” by the Salvation Army.

Johnson had paid his dues. He was one of 2,000 Blacks who were accepted into non-segregated sections of the military. He was in the 9th Canadian Machine Gun Company during the Battle of Passchendaele and fought in the Hundred Days Offensive that ended WW1 in 1918, during which he suffered a shrapnel wound to his leg.

That night he, his horrified aunt and uncle, were driven by the Klan to a Head St. house and forced to watch as a second cross was burned in his yard.

The vet was warned if he was ‘seen walking down the street with a white woman again, he would be dealt with,' according to news reports.

As the Klansmen returned to Hamilton, they were stopped by Oakville police Chief David Kerr, who recognized some as prominent businessmen and let them go. Kerr was at the cross-burning earlier and declared “no crime had been committed.”

The coverage of the incident by the Toronto Daily Star and Globe and Mail were sympathetic to the Klan at first, but outrage by the Black community turned public opinion against them.

It turned out that Jones mother, Annie, had called on the Klan for help after admitting she had failed to break up the bi-racial couple. She then asked Oakville police to intervene but they said their hands were tied because Isabel was an adult. Due to pressure from the Black community in Toronto, church groups, some brave politicians and public figures, an investigation by the Attorney General of Ontario was launched and the instigators behind the racist incident were charged and convicted in Canada’s first prosecution of the Ku Klux Klan. "There was a strong feeling against the marriage which the young girl and the negro had planned," Oakville’s then mayor, J.B. Moat, told the Star. "Personally I think the Ku Klux Klan acted quite properly in the matter. The feeling in the town is generally against such a marriage."

The A-G’s probe led to charges being laid on March 7 against three pillars of the community, who included the town’s chiropractor William E. Phillips, his assistant Harold Orme and Hamilton Presbyterian Church pastor Ernest Taylor, a police interpreter. Charges were dropped against Orme and Taylor, while Phillips was slapped with a $50 fine due to the huge respect he carried in the community.

Community leaders were outraged by the outrageous fine and demanded further legal action. Johnson’s home was also mysteriously burned down at the time and no was ever arrested for that.

There was an appeal of the sentence, which Chief Justice Sir William Mulock called “a travesty of justice,” before sentencing Phillips to three-months in jail.

The couple were finally married on March 24, 1930 and had two children and a happy life. Johnson died in 1966.

- Tom Godfrey, February 17, 2019, referring to events starting February 17, 1930

This sounds like a crazy ass conspiracy theory, but what if Boothill hails from the same planet as Kafka? aka Pteruges-V

#hsr #honkai star rail #boothill hsr #THIS IS JUST A THEORY. A GAME THEORY #but okay #so we know how Boothill is 1. a galaxy ranger cyborg cowboy #and 2. pretty brash and impulsive / flamboyant to draw the attention of the IPC #3. hunting down acheron on penacony because shes an ''imposter'' who claimed to be a ranger #The ppl on Pteruges-V knows no fear #and from Boothills dialogue with Black Swan I think the no fear thing checks out #plus a lot of the ppl in pteruges v are Devil Hunters #Kafka used to be one too #and I dont think Devil Hunter -> Galaxy Ranger who wants to purge the wretched #is that big of a jump/stretch #he couldve easily decided to travel around the galaxies and become a pathstrider of the Hunt #after leaving his home planet #ALSO.#his lack of fear mightve been the reason for him getting killed/severely injured #so he became a cyborg #TELL ME IM COOKING EVEN THOUGH THIS THEORY HAS BASICALLY NO CANON BASIS WHATSOEVER

I don't think weed makes me smarter or anything but when I'm high I'm able to watch long slower paced movies and esp. non-english ones much easier and absolutely soak in the atmosphere and cinematography. I think I'd struggle to watch a Tarkovsky movie sober. Attention span buff

#whereas when I watched it high I came away with this insane theory about how the planet's atmosphere reflected the mood of the scientists #and how the color grading was used against the black and white of the rest of the film to reflect fear anger paranoia melancholy etc #I'd never come away from a first time movie viewing with that sober I think

i am once again giggling over MOFFAT of all people understanding (or at least getting extremely lucky in how it comes off) doctor gender better then the two ‘progressive’ writers. incredible stuff

#deadass i think its bc he didnt give a #fuck about making lefties happy he just wanted to say whatever. vs chibs agonized fear over getting things wrong paralyzing him into the #most boring writing on the planet AND forcing him to include the absolute shallowest ‘representation’ on the planet bc he knows he Should #have it but doesnt know how ro actually do that #versus rtd who seems to genuinly really really care about this kind of stuff BUT gets all his info via like. instagram posts and his #experiences with trans ppl begin and end with a drag show he went to once in the 90s where a queen drunkenly explained her theories on #gender to him. so like his hearts in the right place but he is sososo wrong.#anyway. does not bode well for ncuti i must say…. ive been worried abt rtd’s treatment of black characters and while this did not confirm #those fears of it continuing to be as awful as it was back in the day it also doesn’t exactly assuage them. we will see! i will stay #optimistic until i die probably so. fingers crossed ig lol #mi

Uhhh . icr #One of the quartzes. Cannot remember #butler is a black pearl + bill is a pyrope. If I Recall #Kristin was a high-ranking gem w/ the responsibility of shattering and reforging gem bits #Notably Phil + Tchno are both offcolour. Phil is too green and. Well I can't remember Tchnos deal. But she's like Aw I like this guy -#actually :( He's chilling. Because he IS chilling. But emduo r not exactly on the best side of neither the revolution nor the ruling class #They dip when it starts getting very bad. but he is pearl analogous roughly. Everyone else is not analogous to everyone and the syndicate #don't rlly become the CGs out of anything much more than necessity of The Horrors r On Earth Now #butler + bill aren't part of the main au Bill has a small moon to himself and thinks he owns a planet. Other higher ups ''gave'' this to him #2 get rid of him #Butler is a pearl that stole a ship. He is roped into This. Somehow
