Thorpe appears to be as disliked on her own side of politics as by the opposition.

I mentioned a long time ago that I fear many have lost their way, and when they become extreme they talk crap, then when they get called out for talking crap they claim it's institutionalised racism. This is straight out of Trump's play book, talk crap, then when they call you out for talking crap claim you are being persecuted and discriminated against.

I notice the NASCA board have come out and potted Thorpe today, declaring she doesn't speak for young indigenous Australians.

Do you really think history will judge Lidia Thorpe as Australia's equivalent of  MLK?

King was a leader of people. Thorpe seems to be only interested in her own profile.

No, they're not equals. I don't think they're equals, and said as much in my previous post.

Attitudes (hatred and anger) like Thorpe's create wars not solve problems or achieve outcomes. The only thing she has in common with MLK is that she is of the same species (human), that's about it.

Politicising race is almost racism defined.
