There are a lot of racist people in abby
I saw someone’s post about hating Abby and honestly seeing that hate that this person is getting is very unsettling for me. Abbotsford has always been such a religious and conservative town, with many who claim to love Jesus but actually just oppress a lot of marginalized folk. It is a problem that should be addressed and seriously looked at. One of my close friends was badly assaulted by someone who currently works at Northview Church, in their lead team. Yes. He still has a position there. Why? Because he is a white male who will usually be believed by judicial systems while she is a 5’1” marginalized woman. Studies have shown that if you are racialized, you are less likely to be believed. It is a fucked up place with a lot of religious abuse and just because people LIKE abby does not mean you have to ignore it’s legitimate problems. See things for what they are. Stop hating on individuals for having had poor experiences in certain cities. Racism is real, and it needs to be acknowledged.
