contract over bar 100 year. now we play our game and build your well with them to get burned to the ground. and it still wouldn't be enough. and they are lucky that what black people are looking for as a quality and not revenge was living with me about it every year. and black men died under the need of a white police officer. i don't get any go. and they, in that moment it became every black life they captured on video was every person enslaved. every person in china.
8:32 am
every person who lived the whip. every person linked from a tree, ordered to the back of the boss, every nameless, faceless person who was told they lives, did not matter awe in death, george floyd gives his name to those nameless in his cries, we hear the cries of hundreds of years, and the unknown, dead, and a world way. i hear those cries soon and they sound so from media. this is what history sounds like to us. i blew by charge bree. oh, easy,
8:33 am

we've heard george floyd woods here in australia and prisons. i meant they were david don gay junior. his last words in 2015 before he died to the hospital ward of sidney's long by prison. oh, the coroner found lack of oxygen while he was restrained, was a contributing factor to his dead. oh, but it has taken the death of a black man in america to wake us up to what happens here. learn that black people die here in custody. and that the numbers keep rising and we failed to stop us. i don't believe actually the government have learned anything more than how to hide operational deaths in custody from the world. and that's what we're trying to expose here. we need to expose globally what's happening here in australia because
8:36 am
we resonate with people like george floyd, we resonate with those families. we resonate with, you know, various testing hussy around the world that are going on. same similar issue, adobe, whatever the stop you think about it through for the years of slave we're we're set free play masses or part time massive. they became brain gra kilo pat. though the blacks in about 70 years run the whole town, tulsa, oklahoma, and rosewood, florida, the master black alive. mm. mm. when i see black america, i see part of myself when i was growing up, black america spoke to me. when white australia did not, we all right, we are sliding. we are down dragon. we are denied not only level. right,
8:37 am
but even human rights. only only way we're going to get funded for preston. right nation. far away from our 4 or 5 from us has come together against the common enemy . and black america told me to dream, i have a dream. that one day this nation will rise up and live out the true meaning of its creed. we hold these truths to be self evident, that all men are created with those who say black lives matter is a movement we are importing from america. though nothing of who we are in the room knew,

8:39 am
you may dot o, then flashes a siren as stretched out war. and you are not the guy and still you fit the description. because there is only one guy who is always the guy fitting the description. i think the white imagination has framed the conception of whiteness in a certain direction. and therefore, in order to keep itself segregated, superior in its narrative, it had to classify blacks as, as animals and b. c,
8:40 am
that language being used by presidents like reagan being used by ordinary citizens. being used to talk about michelle obama as 1st lady. so, you know, and i think my people have passively taken that in and then believe did as fact how you know, so when we have somebody like president trump saying, you can tell these people anything and they'll believe it. he's not wrong. how quickly this world steals our innocence. i didn't get to discover the world through my eyes. i was the one discovered i was the one captured in the wide gaze and learned at school the hog listen of life. i lived in
8:41 am
a world where white lives mattered, and i was not wide ah, what was normal? and i wasn't know the school yard towards the laughing, the pointing the mocking the head. turning these, the little things to stay with your me once our eyes are open to the world around us. we can never see the world in the same way again. mm. i was 15. what i learned another lesson. no matter how close i got. i could never truly belong one day i was asked in class to stand up and talk about our self to talk about my life. and i told them who i was. i told them where i was from. i told them about my family,
