MODERATORS
You can't make life better for marginalised groups if you don't accept they are being marginalised in the first place. Before anything, Australians need to confront the actual reality of their country, including its real history. Yes, that will offend the uneducated initially but it is the only true way forward.
This is the reason that the request for Truth Telling is a fundamental part of the Uluru Statement from the Heart; we need to accept the ill effects of our past on the Aboriginal population, and recognise that colonisation is still happening. Racism has a lot to do with both of those things and it can't be tiptoed around. Yes, it is difficult. Yes, it is absolutely necessary.
