Sitting here in tears in Arizona, thinking you could replace "the Australian dream" with "the American dream" and this speech would be every bit as true. I hope and pray that both of our countries will finally find the will to face the sins of our past, and acknowledge how it perpetuates the racism that is destroying our present. What a painful and beautiful speech, Mr. Grant. Thank you.
-
Spoken with such passion. Your message needs to be heard all over this beautiful land of ours, so that ALL Australians can stand united and proud. Thank you Stan Grant for striving for our fellow Australians to see the bigger picture. You put it into words, once heard can not be ignored.
-
great speech. unfortunately so true and unfortunately purposely avoided and ignored
-
A very powerful talk. Deeply moving and so true. Thank you, Stan.
-
As a brazilian, let tell you. We may have had different scenes and characters, but the history of brazilian colonization was the same horror movie. I felt totally represented by this speech from the other side of the globe. Thank you! Strength!
-
Passionate eloquence from Stan. History defines who we are and how we see things. We can do better.
-
Australians all, let us rejoice that we have a wise fellow-countryman who speaks the truth with such passion and eloquence. He gives us hope .. if we listen.
-
Worth a standing ovation I would have thought.
-
Thanks Stan for sharing your story and that of your people in such a powerful way.
-
This is one video I have to go back and re-watch time and time again. Raw, powerful and heartbreaking.
-
Adam Goodes was out of order. I wouldn't have booed him but I understand why people with less tolerance and less ability to express themselves clearly and with emphasis have done so. Stan has used the Goodes debacle (and it was, all round) as a pivotal point in what is actually a very well researched and extremely eloquent speech. In my opinion Stan has alienated many people by doing that.
-
"I've succeeded in spite of the Australian dream, not because of it..." How did he not get a standing ovation!? Raw!
-
Holy wow, that was amazing.
-
Great speech. I also note that many have come forward below to unwittingly prove his points regarding racism ...
-
I am better than that. Good on you Stan. Always was...always will be.
-
This makes me feel so sad, that this is still even having to be said. Thank you Stan Grant.
-
Thank you. Speech of the year.
-
As an Aboriginal Australian from Yorta Yorta country i absolutely loved this! every word spoken with truth and passion, lost for words..
-
I am at my desk and my eyes are filled with tears. Thank you Stan
-
I cried listening to him talk, partially because of how he spoke and partially because what he said was true. Too true. Very moving.
