Love when Pan Africanists gets into our Canadian teaaaa we literally have historically black towns all over Canada! They do not sound American tho they sound black Canadian but a lot of people don’t know what that sounds like. Also I’m a teacher we very much learn it in school these days a black Canadian is on our money :)
