The impact of racism on my body has been debilitating. From excess alcohol to numb the pain, to holspital with panic attacks.
This is what racism in Australia does.
I did everything the colony told me to do to ‘succeed’.

My Aunty Paula and Uncle Charlie have been married for 68 years. An Aboriginal woman and white man, their union was more than frowned upon in 1940s Australia. They faced racism, discrimination. They faced it together. Their love stronger than any hate.

Australia: You must be so proud.
Aboriginal boy: My great grandparents, aunts, uncles, cousins fought to protect their land. Some were killed. Some were sent to missions. Some died of white mans disease.

A guilty verdict was not from protesting on the street. It was bcoz a witness filmed Floyd's cries to breathe. In Oz, that doesn't afford justice. Dunghutti man David Dungay is captured pleading for air, 12 times he says 'I Can't Breathe' & the DPP will not prosecute guards.
