Dr Zuleyka Zevallos added,
Jeremy Gans @jeremy_gansTo put it nicely, she is too close to the statement to be an effective part of the campaign. To put it less nicely, her total lack of any political skills threatens, not just the campaign, but - by association - the moral message at the heart of the statement.Show this thread3 replies 12 retweets 29 likesShow this thread -

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!
