Hip-hop star Baker Boy: Racism is still rampant in Australia

“I am a Yolngu Man from North East Arnhem Land. I am angry. I am scared. I feel every negative emotion that there is to feel about what happened to George Floyd” - Australian hip-hop star Baker Boy wrote in his Instagram post about police violence in the USA. As he wrote, it also happens in the, seemingly, much fairer communities - “I feel these emotions EVERY DAMN DAY... This is my life and I am scared, I have anxiety about going to unknown places like a different cafe from my usual, not to mention the challenge of touring from the fear of racism, that, yes, is still rampant here in Australia too”. He shared advice - "I truly hope your activism goes further than your social media. Activism starts at home, with hard conversations”.
