Key points:
- Voice campaigner Marcus Stewart, a Nira illim bulluk man, said the ad left him feeling sick
- The group behind the ad has defended it, saying those criticising it are “elites” playing the “race card”
- Opposition Leader Peter Dutton earlier this week criticised companies funding the Yes campaign
I find it so telling that their campaigning which can’t be overtly racist, instead is clutching at straws that one person is a communist.
He’s a communist!!! … And?
Don’t forget them ‘elites’ ‘playing the race card’. Mmmm smell that imported bullshit.
Honestly anyone trying to claim an Australian Aboriginal holds the position of social elite in Australia should just straight up be comitted because they clearly have zero association with reality in any way, shape or form.
I haven’t seen the ad, but from the description it sounds like textbook racism to me. Black man getting a handout from a white man who is in an elevated position is hardly subtle.
Yeah, sorry, it has to claim to not be racist (even though it obviously is).
No need to apologise, I wasn’t correcting you. Just piggybacking off your comment to share my thoughts!
