blak liberation. blak sovereignty. melbourne/naarm. mention of fascism.

I just returned from Camp Sovereignty today.

You have no doubt heard about the disgusting, vile attack that racists and fascists made against the Camp recently. Well I have this to say to you--if the thousands of people who showed up today to the "Sovereign Day Out" have anything to do with it, these cretinous, cowardly little boys who attacked the Camp will have no place in the future of this land.

I am told that the fascists did not disturb the sacred fire burning at the Camp, and when I heard that, I was filled with immense relief.

But it is still beyond disturbing that fascism has reared its ugly head in the so-called "Commonwealth of Australia".

This land was stolen. It was never given up. This is Aboriginal land, and the culture that belongs with it is beautiful and ancient. I think it is the duty of every wadjela, every non-Aboriginal person, to consider the concepts of Blak Sovereignty, Blak Liberation, and Blak lives, very very carefully.

Where does your life fit in with the struggle for justice on this land? I have been going around saying "there is no socialism in Australia without 'Land Back'".

I think today's experience at the Camp, that I went to with my powerful blak partner Temika, only confirms that this analysis is correct.

uncle robbie thorpe exhorts the crowd. uncle robbie thorpe surrounded by a large, large crowd at camp sovereignty, naarm. uncle robbie thorpe speaks to the crowd at camp sovereignty, naarm. large crowds at camp sovereignty. again large crowds, a different angle.
