Whose support does Prof Davis need to individually win? Non-Aboriginal people who aren't interested in hearing the Black women who led the #UluruStatement?
This is how "moderate" White people perpetuate racism, thinking there's a "nice" way to talk about colonialism. There isn'thttps://twitter.com/jeremy_gans/status/1000573616335994880 …

Using the notion of expert ("not in league") to silence ("your views irrelevant"). All for listening, but worry about a trajectory of privileging some forms of knowing.
It seems you are telling an Aboriginal woman (@NatalieCromb - who, not incidentally is an expert) that her pointing out another Aboriginal woman's expertise (Prof Davis) to racist White man, is as exercise of privilege.
If so, this is wildly misguided at best. Damaging at worst

Aboriginal knowledges are subsumed by paternalistic policies.
#UluruStatement undoes this damage by consulting with Aboriginal & Torres Strait Islander people Aboriginal woman leading Statement was attacked by this White man pandering to White interests. THAT is White privilegeThanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo

I just love that in this reimagination black women have the power and the privilege. Can we please dream this into existence?

Also absurd way to repurpose the concept of privilege. White privilege (Peggy McIntosh) emerged from reflection of MALE privilege that is power to move through world without same gender restrictions as women - and that WHITE privilege confers similar power to White women & men
-
White privilege means White people- regardless of gender, class & other background - can see White people leading in all spheres of public life, without having to defend themselves from racial discrimination daily. Aboriginal people can't dismiss or escape racial inequality
-
Idea that a White man is being denied "privilege" by Aboriginal women because he lacks expertise in law (not to mention lived experience as Aboriginal person) is peak White privilege Racism is not a privilege. There are no "two equal sides" to racism. One side already dominates
