Black Lives Matter, liberalismo queer, multiculturalismo, análisis crítico del discursoResumen
Este artículo analiza el debate público acerca de una manifestación de la agrupación de Toronto de Black Lives Matter (BLMTO) en el desfile del Orgullo de 2016. Las acciones de BLMTO y, en última instancia, la propia organización, han recibido fuertes críticas por interrumpir la celebración y por llamar la atención al racismo contra los negros por parte del cuerpo de policía de Toronto y los espacios queer. Un análisis crítico del discurso de contenidos de medios de gran difusión revela la emergencia de tres grandes temas que se repiten en los medios canadienses en la denuncia a BLMTO. Un eje central de este proceso es el mito del multiculturalismo, que desplaza el fenómeno del racismo a siglos precedentes y a otros países. Al escrutar los parámetros del imaginario nacional canadiense, este artículo revela las formas en que el racismo contra los negros se ha agravado por el movimiento mayoritario LGBT.
