Pop diva Naomi Wenitong is outraged by the ugly racism sparked by Prime Minister Kevin Rudd's promise to say sorry to the stolen generation.

Ms Wenitong, who formed half of the indigenous duo Shakaya, said she was shocked to hear people ranting about an issue they probably knew nothing about.

"It makes me angry that people can be so freely racist and say things like ‘Get over it’ and ‘Get on with it’," Ms Wenitong told The Cairns Post.

"I've put up with this stuff (racism) for as long as I can remember because my mum is white and my dad is black.

"I've travelled to so many places and I feel I get more respect in other countries as an Australian Aboriginal than I do here.

"I definitely think that as a government there is nothing wrong with saying sorry for the generation before them."

Mr Rudd said the Government would apologise to indigenous Australia's stolen generations when parliament resumed next month, but would not establish a compensation fund.

Mr Rudd said his campaign promise would be realised during parliament's first sitting on February 13.

He said the apology was necessary because long-standing problems plaguing indigenous communities could not be addressed until it was made.

"I can see the issue from both sides but I really can't see how people can be so against it," Ms Wenitong said.

"It would definitely make a difference to the people if the Government recognises the mistakes of the past."

Ms Wenitong said she was recording an album in Newcastle with her brother Joel to be released in a few months.

The duo, known as The Last Kinection, planned to travel to Cape York communities to "help at a grassroots level".
