Abstract
Based on a review of existing literature, this paper discusses Canadian evidences of anti-Black institutional racism, the organizational “standard operating procedures” that adversely affect minorities by design or intent (“systematic racism”) or by the effect of exclusion or exploitation (“systemic racism”), with particular reference to education and law enforcement. This paper contends that anti-Black institutional racism in Canada is a superstructure whose core base is chattel slavery.

When Derek Chauvin, a 44-year-old White Minneapolis police officer publicly killed George Floyd, a 46-year-old Black man under police custody, by kneeling on Mr Floyd’s neck for about nine minutes on May 25, 2020, many Canadians were surprised that such a racist act occurred in an American city so close to the Canadian border
It took a lot of backlash and video and other evidences of anti-Black and anti-Indigenous brutality by Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) police officers for the Commissioner to eventually admit that systemic racism exists in her organization (CTV News, 2020)
