Can we debate indigenous issues without people calling other people names?

Name calling in pubic seems to have become a part of discourse on indigenous matters. Some people are called 'coconuts' and ' Uncle Tom's' when they raise what are issues that are just as relevant to the discussion of the welfare of Indigenous people and their communities that might fall outside the immediate focus of advocacy or protests. Anthony Dillon is a lecturer at the Australian Catholic University and he has copped some vitriol on Twitter and elsewhere for raising issues related to violence committed by Indigenous people against other indigenous people in order to broaden the discussion currently being had in the aftermath of the George Floyd killing in the United States. Can we have a civil debate on social media and elsewhere? Anthony Dillon explores this issue and more. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
