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.

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 -

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 …Dr Zuleyka Zevallos added,
Jeremy Gans @jeremy_gansReplying to @KenParish1 @mdavisqlderAn important part of what? Not reconciliation. Not recognition. Not the statement. Not the campaign. It's just personality politics and maintains rage in the campaign's core. It entrenches the issue as hopelessly partisan and, if repeated, will be used against the campaign.4 replies 10 retweets 25 likesShow this thread -
Replying to @OtherSociology
He also fundamentally fails to understand that there is a lot of justified anger at the heart of the Uluru statement. That's why it's so challenging for white people in power - they/we aren't used to be told "you are wrong and how hurt us and we aren't taking this shit anymore"

Yes! White people's condemnations of Aboriginal & other Black people's anger is a thing to behold. White people are ALWAYS allowed to be angry & often are - in the media (robust debate!), in politics (patriotism!), in pop culture (passion!). Racist double standards & then some.
