Apparently @kendricklamar is the first person of colour to make #1 in the @triplej #Hottest100. But I'm still shattered it wasn't @ABOriginalBAM

1/ Triple J had to put moving the Hottest 100 to a vote. Then a Black American man wins. Both facts completely aligned with White supremacy in Oz. White people test waters to be openly racist. Don't just do the right thing to begin with. Need benediction to opt out of racist day
2/ Black Americans only venerated as performers - only when their perceived "coolness" can be consumed - but ordinary Black American-Australians treated with racism & contempt. White people in Australia love to "eat the Other," but hate Blackness & other POC at home.
