In the op-ed, which was published online Sunday in the Oshawa Durham Central Newspaper, Coun. Lisa Robinson denounced the idea of celebrating Black History Month, arguing that "the race to equality is not the celebration of one race over another. "We are so hung up on North American history and the historical trafficking of primarily African people that we have lost sense of time and period," she wrote. "Back in those days society was very different. Today, we have come a long way." What is your opinion on Coun. Lisa Robinson's stance on Black History Month?

Carion Fenn, health advocate and founder of the Carion Fenn Foundation, said this is the latest example of inflammatory sentiment toward marginalized communities. Fenn is demanding Robinson apologize to Durham's Black community. Do you think Robinson should apologize?

The councillor's remarks come just a few months after she was found to have promoted "homophobic and transphobic" attitudes by the city's integrity commissioner for conduct last May which caused her to be docked 60 days of pay. She was also previously docked 30 days of pay after another integrity commissioner investigation concluded that one of her Facebook posts was a form of bullying. Robinson referenced that decision in her Sunday op-ed. In it, she said she felt that "council was treating me like a modern day slave" for docking her pay. How do you perceive Coun. Robinson's comparison of her treatment to being a "modern-day slave"?
