Not so.  His Aboriginality was acknowledged when he was working
as an international reporter in 1997.       Twenty six years ago.

Well, if you have to ask that question, then you're obviously unaware
that Grant was probably the very first Aboriginal person
to make any impact upon—until then—a very white, Anglo media
industry.  He was a ground-breaker.

Disingenuous much?  It was not primarily Grant's decision to leave
the ABC.  It was effectively forced upon him under a torrent of
offensive, abusive comments across the media and across the
interwebs.  With 99% of them being based on racism and fear of
"the other".

This is a classic example of offensive, ignorant, bigoted racism—
even if you don't recognise it in your own comments here.

Oh please!   Not this tired old rubbish!   You're obviously one of the
older white Australians that refuse to accept that the English settlers
brutalised, raped and killed Aborigines as a matter of course.  Naturally,
Grant and his indigenous peers will tend to be anti-monarchist. 
You need to accept that simple concept as fact.

And as for Grant's career, he's got where he is by sheer hard work and
perseverance in the face of racial obstacles, and determination.

Nobody handed him any of his successes on a platter;  he simply took
advantage of the educational system available to any other non-
indigenous person.

What's obvious is you wouldn't know ....

I'm younger than you Methuselah

but I'll ask you these questions -

what has any of that history got to do with or what affect does it have on Stan Grant in the present?

What would Stan be doing now had that not occurred?

What makes Stan any different from any other successful person who has worked hard & became a success?

Don't tell me it's just because he's an Aboriginal or part thereof?

Why is it that you think dragging up the past to run it like a never ending guilt trip has any merit in reconciliation when all it does is widen the division?

Just as the Voice will do.

What racial obstacles were put before him in the Journalism trade?

I think that's an over used cop out.

If Grant is so staunch in his Aboriginality why did he leave his 1st wife (Aboriginal) for a white woman?

He was the highest paid entertainer in the world -

all the woke nonsense hit us.

Jolson was America's most famous and highest paid entertainer in the 1930s.
Jolson sang and acted in the first (full length) talking movie, The Jazz Singer in 1927.
He starred in many other musical movies in the 1930s.
A movie about Jolson's life, The Jolson Story, won Oscars in 1946.

Stan Grant's display of tanning over the years seems to have made Donald Trump's fake tan look normal.
