maybe both can be done. in front and behind the scenes. if not why not

What do you find disturbing about this critique? David is correctly arguing that White people don't get to define anti-racisn responses in ways that entrench their comfort & power. Get Up could have used their platform to elevate voices of #POC but instead chose empty gesture

White supremacy thrives when White people get to go about their business as usual - consuming elements of Other cultures (eg. food) - but without meaningfully challenging their own privilege. That includes making sacrifices Hence performative allyship. It's conditional & hollow.

Telling WHITE PEOPLE - and to be clear, Get Up is an org run by White for White people - to take a pic of dinner to show Dutton "we're not affected" is laziest misdirection of White privilege. White people are not affected by racism. Get Up makes no effort to centre #POC.
