We also discuss how significantly the Black Lives Matter movement has changed public opinion in the US and beyond, drawing on The New York Times article ‘How Public Opinion Has Moved on Black Lives Matter’ by Nate Cohn and Kevin Quealy.

Another topic covered is Australia’s racist history, which included slavery.

A coroner investigating the death in custody of Aboriginal woman Tanya Day has referred the case to the department of public prosecutions to determine whether criminal negligence has occurred. On this show we play a speech by Tanya Day’s daughter Apryl Day on the racism responsible for her mother’s death and the problems with police investigating police.

#JusticeForTanyaDay

Coroner finds that the V/Line officer who woke #TanyaDay up and called the police – rather than calling an ambulance – was influenced by unconscious bias and his decision making was influenced by her Aboriginality. First finding of racism in the case.

THE FINAL QUARTER | Film

You can listen to this episode above and subscribe to our podcast on iTunes. You can also listen to this episode on Stitcher, Cyber Ears or download it on Archive.org (68mins, 54MB).

We discuss the powerful documentary The Final Quarter which covers the racism that AFL footballer Adam Goodes received at the end of his career. You can watch this documentary here.

Professor Tim Soutphommasane: ‘Racism is the cause of division, anti-racism is what we need to combat it’ – analysis of The Final Quarter (video).

Adam Goodes: Let's work together in a positive manner to heal old wounds.

People: Why are you spreading hatred? #TheFinalQuarter

Lies spread in the media about Adam Goodes: Waleed Aly on The Project (video).

I hope every single journalist and commentator involved in the coverage of Adam Goodes understands the power and importance of their role in the media. So many loaded questions, ill informed opinions and unconscious bias exposed tonight #thefinalquarter

GO Foundation: Adam Goodes and Mick O’Loughlin started GO to give Indigenous students a better future through education.

This isn't just an AFL issue, it's an example on how Australia deals with racism and the dialogue it has with Blackfullas. Racism is in every facet of industry because it's in the fabric of the Nation. It's an opportunity to ask yourself; where do you stand? #TheFinalQuarterFilm

We also discuss Waleed Aly’s article ‘Trump’s racist tweets have parallels to the abuse of Adam Goodes’; the talk ‘White Fragility’ by Robin DiAngelo; Miranda Tapsell and Nakkiah Lui on Series 2, Episode 8 of Get Krack!n; and studies showing widespread bias based on race (US, Australia) and gender.
