White people often only see potential to elevate their status in anti-racism work. Being "authority," invites to talks, monetising content.

Yep. A simple "Hi there. Who are you?" will get you blocked.pic.twitter.com/Gdpv4dNqRo

I want to say "the irony" of White ppl hiding behind an Aboriginal cause - treaty - acting like colonisers (dissenters to authority removed)
-
But not ironical at all. That's just White people enacting Whiteness, feeling entitled to colonise Aboriginal news & treaty like a brand.
-
And using it to promote decidedly white, privileged views on race is gross.
-
And they'll happily retweet racist, nationalist anti-POC garbage as long as it's in opposition to Adani.

This is hilarious! What is wrong with them?
-
Maybe they've blocked everyone but me and can't read the context?

Blocked em a long time ago.

Good move, Paul. They're weak. Ignored my questions on why they were blocking Aboriginal women & quietly blocked me in return. "Allies."

I remember the one time they answered they leaned heavily on proximity to POC as we've not seen 'I have an X friend' before.
