Whilst these microaggressions are based on American
culture they are identical in mainstream Australian
culture.
These are where we find racist attitudes buried deep in
the language that has become normalised behaviour
within the dominant white culture.
My first encounter with racism was around 8 years old.
This is the age that many black people opt for having
the talk with their child about what it means to be black
skinned.
They tell them ‘some people won’t like you because of
the colour of your skin.’

not white!!!
THINK ABOUT IT!!!!
The movement is a sign there is a shift in consciousness.
A change is coming.
When we trade the Tree of Oppression for the Tree of
Life ...what a beautiful place it will be!
