1788: Hello, we’re here to burn your culture, society, spiritual beliefs, agricultural practice, and actual bodies to the ground. Also we’re going to erase your histories and exacerbate your descendents’ suffering. 2018: OH MY GOD A METAPHOR HOW DARE THEY!!!

Imagine being offended by some staunch language from a black activist but not being offended by genocide, land theft, mass incarceration, youth detention or deaths in custody.

#IstandwithTarneen - the idea of sacking an Aboriginal woman for having strong views about the inappropriateness of#Jan26 and the awful history of genocide in Australia is absurd. Any attempt to fire her WILL be met with protest.@unionsaustralia@sallymcmanus -
There are far worse things than calling for a racist system to be burnt down at a huge rally. Try having your children stolen, disproportionate Incarceration, & a society that is largely ignorant to true history. FFS, our ppl still work for rations (CDP)?

Tarneen has the right to free speech, just like the QUT students who posted on Facebook the fact that they were kicked out of an unsigned Indigenous-only computer lab based solely on their race. Oh, wait. No. They were hauled before the courts.

Deadly Aboriginal woman knocks off the next Prime Minister of Australia. That's a metaphor BTW.

Funny how peeps say “if you don’t like this country then leave” BUT this is our land and we won’t be giving up what belongs to us. Fighting to make this a better place is our right & not a lifestyle choice.

When racists, homophobes, transphobes and misogynists scream about FREE SPEECH, remember that they are extremely selective about who they think should have it.

#IStandWithTarneen because none of us are free until all of us are free, and we won't all be free unless we rebuild our country's system from the ground up.Diesen Thread anzeigen -
#IstandwithTarneen It's basic Australian bush management, people. The system needs to be burnt to the ground so that it can regenerate and flourish. -
#IstandwithTarneen because I thoroughly resent the idea that an Aboriginal woman is required play respectability politics and to not confront, to not rock the boat and to not be angry in the face of colonisation and sexism. -
#IStandWithTarneen Those who attack Tarneen attacked Yassmin; campaigned against Roz Ward & Safe Schools; & take any opportunity to bash unions, greenies, antifa, "the left", refugees, minorities & activists. Touch one, touch all. We're stronger together. -
#IstandwithTarneen because sticks and stones (y’know, genocide, rape, forced removal of children) may break my bones but metaphors will never hurt me. -
The same ppl who promoted the tour of a man who parties with Nazis, who described his bigoted hate speech as 'controversial' and who defended his 'right to speak' are now in hysterics over a passionate young Black woman and her righteous fury. What a surprise.

White fragility is demolishing someone's culture and living off their dispossession for centuries, then crying and publicly crucifying them when they say dare to say they really don't like it.

There is something very wrong with Australian media, and Australia in general, when Neo Nazi Blair Cottrell is lauded as a hero, and tireless youth worker
@Tarneen is portrayed as a villain.#IstandwithTarneen -
#IStandWithTarneen and you should too. We are in desperate need of real leaders and massive structural change. Burning down the place is the go-to metaphor guys, come on. This reaction to her words is beyond ridiculous.
