Hubris of Whiteness: random non-Aboriginal fool argues renowned LAW PROFESSOR, Prof Megan Davis, whose expertise includes constitutional law, who co-led the #UluruStatement along with the national dialogues & report, is to blame if it fails
Let's investigate racist rubbish. 1/https://twitter.com/jeremy_gans/status/1000523015468105730 …
Rando says Prof Megan Davis is "too close" & "lacks political skills." She drives national & intl law reform incl. NSW Land and Environment Court & UN Human Rights Council's Expert Mechanism on rights of Indigenous people Ie. Extraordinarily qualified. 2/https://twitter.com/jeremy_gans/status/1000523988185956352?s=19 …
Despite her expertise, White Defender reckons Prof Megan Davis undermines the "moral message" of her own collaborative work (
) on #UluruStatement with critical dialogue, which White Worrier here calls "rage."
Reducing law prof to "angry Black woman" 3/https://twitter.com/jeremy_gans/status/1000535725383729152?s=19 …
Prof Davis is too qualified but also too Black, too Aboriginal, to palatably represent Aboriginal interests to non-Aboriginal people. She's articulate in her critique, but reduced to "rage." She's "too close" as a Cobble Cobble woman, but her expertise not close enough. 4/
Non-Aboriginal people love to think they'd support the "right" Aboriginal causes. This "support" is conditional: so long as the rest of us are not uncomfortable, so long as we don't *really* have to change. Same paternalism that has characterised our nation since colonialism. 5/
Finally, #UluruStatement expressly lays out that the only path to national healing over ongoing damage of colonialism is truth telling. Colonialism is violence. Prof Davis' expression is not rage. But if we can't deal with anger of injustice, we are not committed to change. 6/fin
Funny how those using the "you're too close to the problem" argument really just want to make sure anyone but you controls its outcome.
Also super dooper impressive that non-Aboriginal people who aren't impacted by institutional discrimination feel fit to tell Aboriginal people how to express themselves.
"We haven't listened to you for 230 years+ but if you say it nicely, maybe we'll reconsider listening." 
Reconsidering listening whilst perpetuating racism. AKA. "How to talk about racism in a way that in no way challenges racism, whilst also silencing people experiencing racism." This guy!

She's uber-qualified. But that doesn't make her a good politician.
