There are times when we might be saying something else when we ask a question about racialized communities. Robert Wright is no stranger to speaking up about issues of systemic racism in Nova Scotia. He is a social worker and a consultant and a member of the group known as the African Nova Scotian Decade for People of African Descent Coalition. He says recently he's heard several people ask if Nova Scotia is ready for a Black woman to lead a political party and potentially be the Premier of the province. Preston MLA Angela Simmonds is one of the candidates looking to become leader of the Nova Scotia Liberal Party. Wright says we need to be honest about what that questions actually means, and measure it against the job politicians have done representing minorities over the years.
