Collingwood racism report should have led to real consequences. Instead, it became a sideshow
A few years ago, black British writer Reni Eddo-Lodge declared that she would no longer talk to white people about race.
On her online blog she wrote: “I can no longer engage with the gulf of an emotional disconnect that white people display when a person of colour articulates their experience … It’s like they can no longer hear us”.
I know how she feels. As an Indigenous Australian I would go one step further: Many, if not most, don’t want to hear us.
I have been reminded of that this week after a leaked report revealed the Collingwood AFL club had a culture of systemic racism.
