WHAT WHITE PRIVILEGE?
An Aboriginal woman tried to stab me with a syringe and called me a nazi for being white. It was totally unprovoked, I was just sitting there. Another time late at night I got threatened with stabbing with needles of dog blood and being infected with aids. I am the most left wing person I know, but go to an Aboriginal community and you may find yourself unwelcome and unwanted.
Text book studies of structural disadvantages and historical murders and current Aboriginal incarceration rates do not describe or articulate the feelings of Aboriginal people towards Australians. The latter is probably too unpalatable for study.
And with Australia's high immigration and foreign work force, how many people are actually white anyway anymore? The idea of white privilege seems outdated in a neoliberal globalised economy.
And now we are moving into a post-neoliberal New World Order with greenwashed ecofascism and no escape from electronic surveillance. The present moment excludes not just the autonomy of Aboriginal people, it threatens everyone's freedom.
