Health advocates do not condemn these gatherings as risky for COVID-19 transmission

RE: Health advocates do not condemn these gatherings as risky for COVID-19 transmission
(June 10, 2020 at 3:20 am)Little lunch Wrote: I'm from Mackay. About 30 hrs drive north.
I grew up with lots of Aboriginals, South Sea and Torres Strait Islanders and Papua New Guineans.
We white people just don't trust them. It's that simple.
I'm white so I hear it all, the stuff they'd never say to a black person's face.
They stink, steal, lie. The usual.
But I hung out with them more than other white people.
I played in an Aboriginal band (Stardust) for two years and travelled with them all the way up to Cooktown, through Cairns, Townsville and multiple dry camps in between.
They have a fucking harsh culture that takes some getting used to and violence can be just around the corner.
But after a while you don't see them different, you realise it's an illusion, we all got bad apples.

So I can clearly see the racism all the time, but I also clearly see why other people of my colour can't see it.
All those groups I mentioned I grew up with, none of them get along either.
It's a fucking complex thing.

And another 20 hours to the tip of Cape York. It's a whole other world up there. Im gonna do a slow lap of Oz one day in a 4WD camper. 

We are in a bubble in the cities, especially Melbourne in regards to Aboriginals. Street racism is centered around immigration here. 

Some controversial politicians up there... What do u think of Pauline Hanson and Annastacia Palaszczuk
