    • @mazeguy2233
      @mazeguy2233 5 ปีที่แล้ว +11

      @Judas Iscariot you do realize I'm aboriginal and she is as well right if you read the lyric "if I had lighter skin maybe I would win" it's about what if I change or even be born different would my life be different, fair, easy or even be treated better. The point I'm trying to prove is read the lyrics carefully and look at it from her point of view and dont just listen to 30 seconds of it and make an assumption have a good few listens and read the lyrics it's not promoting racism she's just telling you what she sees.

    • @mazeguy2233

    • @austinhamilton9040
      @austinhamilton9040 5 ปีที่แล้ว +12

      Judas Iscariot Hello, firstly pointing out inequalities that exist today and showing that skin colour may be an influencing factor in determining success is not racist at all and does not fall under its definition. As a person who has learnt about Aboriginals, statistics tend to agree that they actually tend to suffer in areas such as income, mental health, education, physical health, housing conditions, etc, which indicates Aboriginals must overcome these barriers that plague their communities, unlike White Australians. There are clear barriers to success, perpetuated through Australia’s dark history and treatment of Aboriginals. I think it’s sad you think this song is racist at all and you should open your mind to the hardships these people face.

    • @danielayris3623
      @danielayris3623 5 ปีที่แล้ว +6

      Wow I didn’t mean to sound like a racist, I was just saying I love this song. I didn’t read where I wrote the part about skin colour. If all you get out of this song is skin colour I do believe you have missed the point all together. This is clearly a very powerful song and it’s about herself too not just her skin.

    Thanks to 666 and radio Canberra for playing Thelma during Naidoc week in the last couple of days. You absolutely rock and no wonder everyone voted for you as the best. Because you simply are. Not just because your a great singer, but because you are a fantastic spokesperson for indigenous Australians and all people whom others think that they should behave or act differently just because of their heritage. Huge respect.

    Do you know what it feels like?
    To get calls in the middle of the night?
    Saying you're not worth it, you deserve it
    Go on, have another drink
    Do you know what it feels like?
    To get stuck in the middle of a fight?
    Screaming you're not worth it, you deserve it
    Go on, have another drink
    But if I just keep quiet
    I'll be the one who's lying too
    Why should I keep hiding, always crying?
    Tell me what did I do?
    You took the colour from me, darling, I'll get it back
    You took the colour from me, but I look better in black
    If I knew what I know now, maybe I would take it back
    But fuck that, I look better in black
    Do you know what it feels like?
    To be told that you are never right?
    If I had a lighter skin maybe I would win
    Does it make you want to think?
    Do you know what it feels like?
    'Cause I know what it feels like!
    If I had a lighter skin maybe I would win
    Does it make you want to think?
    But if I just keep quiet
    I'll be the one whose lying too
    Why should I keep hiding, always crying?
    Tell me what did I do?
    You took the colour from me, darling, I'll get it back
    I'll get it back, I'll get it back, I'll get it back, I'll get it back
    You took the colour from me, but I look better in black
    If I knew what I know now, maybe I would take it back
    But fuck that, I look better in black
    Hey! I look better in black
    Hey! I look better in black
    If I knew what I know now, maybe I would take it back
    But fuck that (fuck that!) I look better in black

    Love her confident smile at the end of the clip
    I'm very glad to see indigenous people having their voice heard in general and especially through means like this that can really help with pure exposure, if enough people are willing to engage with her message that is which sadly many Australians still are not, but it can only help.
    Why do they call it RE-conciliation when relations were never good in the first place? (Not to disrespect movements that have done good for the indigenous people but the wording is not accurate to the history by the normal definition)
    When will we offer an 'apology' that actually warrants some bonding and strengthening of ties and relations (aka, actual action, actual polices, an actual movement, the chance for indigenous people to forge their own path forwards with agency).
    When will we acknowledge that the department of child services is the modernized rebranding of the stolen generations (less explicit sure, but we all know proportionally indigenous families suffer far more than other groups in these regards).
