Meyne Wyatt delivers powerful speech on racism

Actor Meyne Wyatt delivered a powerful monologue from his play City of Gold to close the Q+A special on racism in Australia.In an episode all about the Black Lives Matter movement and Australian Indigenous deaths in custody, Wyatt also called peaceful protest a failure.I'm always gonna be your black friend, aren't I? That's all anybody ever sees.

You can be OK. I have to be exceptional. I mess up, I'm done. There's no path back for me. There's no road to redemption. "It's because of the way the flog pays football." Bullshit. No-one booed him the way they booed him until he stood up and said something about race. No matter what, no matter how big, how small, I'll get some racist shit on a weekly basis and I'll take it."I'm gonna chase ya down the ditch with my baseball bat", skinhead shit when I was 14 years old.

Great speech. Very powerful.

Fuk I just lost 100 bucks. I bet a mate that the ABC could go an hour on Twitter without mentioning racism.

Stunning and brave and based on false pretences.

you NEED to put subtitles on this monologue so people around the world can engage with it.

Tears. This is raw truth.

Brilliant! 👏👏👏

I watched the first half and it was all just verbal diarrhea so I turned it off. If you want to watch something worthwhile watch this:

Powerful message. Enough is enough. Racism needs to be called out when it happens. The same as sexual harassment,the same as if pedophiles get called out. RACISM IS WRONG!!!! Call out a brain dead tool when it occurs,loud,loud as you can. Name,shame and change.👊🤨

The taxi drivers are generally not even white people. Could it be that orher races can be racist too? I'm a white guy and I have had taxis slow down amd not pick me up as well. I just use uber now instead.

Racism is when you say racism. Racism also means anti-white

Deep!!! OzDemons

And the “taxi” drivers who refuse to stop aren’t just white peoples either just saying but he’s generally right- our new migrants so the same to indigenous peoples as well....

He was always in the black show? He was in neighbours for 2 years as a relative of Susan Kennedy through marriage. I'd hardly call Neighbours a black show.

They weren't flora and fauna though, ABC Fact check proved it!! And Adam Goodes was a flog, he was booed as much as Ablett but hey Ablett is white so we will ignore that. Rest I have to agree with though man, well written legend.
