Racial Tolerance

[Aamer Rahman @aamer_rahman]

'I was unintentionally guilty of a form of systemic racism' is a funny way of saying 'I intentionally lied about witnessing incidents of racism and purposely discredited the victim' but ok

[Racial Tolerance @RacialTolerance]

@CollFansCare @leonjdavis1 Yep, keep holding @CollingwoodFC to account @leonjdavis1 it's unacceptable what you and others have been through

[Collingwood Fans Care @CollFansCare]

Listen to Leon ✊ Great truth here.

“For them to apologise but still believe [they] have done nothing wrong, the apology doesn’t mean shit. It doesn’t hold at all because you don’t understand first and foremost what you are apologising for,” https://t.co/YnkKB7vAzH

[Collingwood Fans Care @CollFansCare]

How about some @CollingwoodFC past & present players start showing an ounce of the courage @andrewkrakouer @iamlumumba @leonjdavis1 & others have shown in telling these stories, by speaking up, taking some responsibility & helping to change their Club for the better.

[Collingwood Fans Care @CollFansCare]

“The fact is that Collingwood, just like Australia, has a long and well-documented history of racism that still needs to be addressed.
Without facing it, it cannot move forward.”
@andrewkrakouer ✊

[Héritier Lumumba @iamlumumba]

1/ I am forever grateful to my brothers Leon Davis, Andrew Krakouer, and Chris Egan for being among the first people to publicly support me when I came forward with my experiences of racism. Now they are coming forward with theirs:

[Ahmed Yussuf @ahmedyussuf10]

Another former teammate of @iamlumumba at Collingwood - who supported his allegations of racism - speaks out about his experiences, this time it’s Andrew Krakouer.

As journalists, we should *all* be asking ourselves: why didn’t we chase this story in 2017

[Herald Sun Sport @heraldsunsport]

Ex-Collingwood forward Andrew Krakouer has revealed a racist joke made by a Pies teammate in 2012 left him contemplating his future at the club.

[Héritier Lumumba @iamlumumba]

The AFL attacked @joelwilkinson for celebrating his culture, by telling him his attire = black face.

“What’s dangerous is they speak of embracing black people and other cultures, but this is how they view us if we represent who we are.” @joelwilkinson

@Collin_G_Wood @CollFansCare @hierohero1 @football_roos @barriecassidy @CollingwoodFC @rohancct @bigdyman @AFL @iamlumumba 5. No one is saying other people have not experienced worse in their lifetime. No one deserves to be beaten up because of their culture. You're experience, as severe as it was, does not negate racist interactions in the workplace, or just generally in life.

@Collin_G_Wood @CollFansCare @hierohero1 @football_roos @barriecassidy @CollingwoodFC @rohancct @bigdyman @AFL @iamlumumba 4. @collingwoodfc needs to publicly apologise to @iamlumumba and Leon for their experience. Not just a general blanket "To all those we hurt, we are sorry". Both were Grand Final and premiership winning players. Without Leon's snap in GF1 there is no 2010 cup.

@Collin_G_Wood @CollFansCare @hierohero1 @football_roos @barriecassidy @CollingwoodFC @rohancct @bigdyman @AFL @iamlumumba 3. I never wanted @iamlumumba to face retribution for publicly condemning Ed's comments on Goodes. Nor for releasing his documentary in 2017. Everyone has the right, as you have done on twitter, to tell their truth. The way the Club discredited Lumumba was always wrong

[Racial Tolerance @RacialTolerance]

@Collin_G_Wood @CollFansCare @hierohero1 @football_roos @barriecassidy @CollingwoodFC @rohancct @bigdyman @AFL @iamlumumba 2. I wanted Ed to resign after the 2013 Goodes comments. Not only did he tarnish @CollingwoodFC brand, he ruined any ability he may have had to lead change on this issue of racism - which ultimately, 8 years later, my position on Ed proved 100% accurate

[Racial Tolerance @RacialTolerance]

@Collin_G_Wood @CollFansCare @hierohero1 @football_roos @barriecassidy @CollingwoodFC @rohancct @bigdyman @AFL @iamlumumba 1. I wanted the Club to be professional, and have quality workplace health and safety policies and procedures. They failed to implement them. Failing to have an adequate racial discrimination policy (and comply with it) in 2013, let alone 2021, is well beyond incompetent.

[Senator Lidia Thorpe @SenatorThorpe]

Come have a yarn with me and @iamlumumba! We'll be talking systemic racism and our hopes for an anti-racist Australia. 4:30pm AEST on Instagram Live #AskUsAnything

[Swoop Luke @SwoopLuke]

this is why the racism convos still have to be talked about! not posting this stuff is doing a disservice to the club and our culture. we have to have hard convos to move forward

[Racial Tolerance @RacialTolerance]

@Collin_G_Wood @CollFansCare @hierohero1 @football_roos @barriecassidy @CollingwoodFC @rohancct @bigdyman @AFL Life is not generally cruel, people are. And people have the capability to change their cruel behaviour. This is exactly why @iamlumumba and Leon are speaking up. They just wanted their team mates and club to be better and refrain from cruel behaviour, policies and culture

[Racial Tolerance @RacialTolerance]

@Collin_G_Wood @CollFansCare @hierohero1 @football_roos @barriecassidy @CollingwoodFC @rohancct @bigdyman @AFL So let me get this right... You can publicly discuss your childhood experience with racism in Australia... But when Leon and @iamlumumba publicly discuss the racist experiences they continue to endure from their former employer and colleagues its bad feng shui?🤦‍♂️

1/ "Everyone at the club discredited Heriter Lumumba."
Veteran sportswriter Caroline Wilson recently confirmed that multiple people from @CollingwoodFC made a coordinated effort to undermine Lumumba while briefing journalists:
