Society & Culture Aborigines - why don't we care?

Great post

I wouldn't hesitate to piss off out of here if everyone else would follow and give it back.

No. Obviously you feel very strongly about the issue.

You can lead the way.

Correct.

Can't help someone who won't help themselves.

Maybe they consider happiness to be drinking cases of emu export in a park every night, then fighting amongst each other and then heading home to their houso flat.

Or maybe they've had no primary influence because they're parents/them were taken from their cultures and family and, once let out, had little money to move anywhere but to a dodgy suburb with drugs crawling out of its ears.

Or you could read my post for what it was

Australia is their country, it is not the country of white man.............They have every right to be angry, annoyed, disgusted and they have every right to protest. We need to remember where we came from (white people here), not Australia, the UK. We are relatives of convicts, and the original settlers massacred the Aborigines to settle here. This is not our place, it is their place.

People forget that, and people forget that we are invaders in their world.

Every race of people throughout history has been conquoured at some point. They either over throw, assimilate or die. It's just the way things have always been.

Very few Australians today are related to convicts. There were also not that many massacres by settlers. Far more aboriginal people died from imported diseases etc than from being hunted down and killed.

But look at your username...your post is invalid

Yes and how are you going to do that? One if a substantial part of the group abuses substance and two you can't provide expensive services to remote areas. There was an example in the NT intervention where a settlement was 20 ks out of a township with a base hospital with a dialysis machine but the local community wouldn't go and they wanted one on site at the aboriginal health clinic.

The fact is many remote communities were better off under the missions than they are now. I am not suggesting we go back to paternalistic approach but we must find away like Pearson is suggesting to empower individuals.

I've never understood the argument, 'Its our land". Imagine if every civilisation on Earth said this..... Rome would be a hell of a lot bigger that['s for sure. I'm more than willing to be questioned on my views, but this whole "its our land" argument doesn't stand up IMO. Stiff Shit you were conqured for lack of a batter term.

This thread is done & this is not the place for this type of thread. We gave it a chance but the inevitable racist comments were posted.

Caesar is happy for this to be discussed on the SRP board but the same rules apply, any racist posts will get you a holiday.
