also, for the folks yelling at Calum that heās poc. letās break this down. heās half white, half MÄori. heās also very successful with lots of money. he does have privilege. he is still visibly poc. the cops wonāt physical differentiate him in a protestāthey will only see a brown body. they can and have a real chance of subjecting him to physical violence.Ā
but internally, heās doing the right thing. heās learning about his own privilege, heās learning how this white heritage has provided a privilege for him. heās learning about how his money has provided a privilege for him. heās learning about what ways those privileges oppress other people. unlike Luke, Michael, and Ashton who can subject their physical bodies if they so choose and know they wonāt receive physical violence in return as they protect other Black bodiesāCalum still has to figure out how to navigate the political soundscape for himself, so he can recognize his own privilege and learn how to use it to ampifly the Black community, and uplift our voices.
