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 …
