I like being lectured by someone who knows nothing about my country, only yout00bz about the stolen generation, especially an israeli/jew?? You know that whole palestine thing and all.. I don't think I have ever read a post of yours about that subject, care to share while we are talking about politics?
i am a pacifist and i am 100% against war period. i understand both sides of the story and i think it's a fucked up situation. once again you show your prejudice/ignorance by assuming that simply because i'm of jewish descent that i automatically condone war against palestine?
i wish everybody could live side by side in peace, and i think it's really tragic that that will probably never happen.
Well for starters, I am a 1st generation Aussie and I am 30, not 60.
good for you. do you want a cookie?
In the words of Big Worm
What the fuck THAT gotta do with me?
. . .
i didn't say you were directly responsible for what happened in the past, obviously that's not logical.
what i said, is that you were racist and insensitive. just because you weren't directly responsible for the terrible things in history doesn't mean it's cool for you to be hella racist now. what i have a problem with is your whole mentality: blaming them for being "lazy" and getting so many "handouts" and not living wonderful independent lives now that all that crazy genocide stuff & baby stealing is "all in the past". basically saying that they "should get over it because everything is better now". when it's still so recent and they are still extremely discriminated against.
I am a minority in this country and have been subjected to racism from an early age but I don't hold it against the anglo-australians or blame an entire race.
no, you just have a problem with the
aboriginal people because they get so many "handouts".
Now, for you to lecture me and blame me for the stolen generation is like blaming a 1st generation italian-american (for example) for black slavery & lynchings. Nothing to do with us.
uh, yea. i know you weren't responsible for the stolen generation, moron.
i'm mad at the fact that you don't acknowledge the severity of the atrocities that occurred as recently as 40 years ago, not to mention the extreme racism they still endure, and instead bitch about how they have it so well off?
after all the shit they went and still go through? like just because they finally get some help their culture can magically get rebuilt and everything is just gonna be fine & dandy?
i'd like to see you try walking in their shoes.
Your rant are completely out of wack and you are very missinformed if you think that aborignies have it tough here in my era, they are given special treatment, I suggest you really look at some unbiased sources before making comments on this subject.
so, how many aboriginal people are you friends with? went to school with? work at your job?
how many do you see on tv and in magazines? living in good neighborhoods? going to college? working in white collar jobs?
YOU are delusional if you think the "special treatment" they are given has made things right.
Question, does the USA give special treatment to african-americans considering the atrocities that have been commited against them in the past? I think when you look into both you will find the US has treated its indigenous americans and african americans FAR worse and given them FAR less than what we have.
slavery, GENOCIDE, rape and destruction of entire cultures and societies is despicable no matter where it occurred! i am not denying that in any form. i
also am not complaining about "handouts" or saying "oh that was so long ago why don't they just get over it and be more productive members of society". i think what happened in the past and the foundation this country was built on is
extremely fucked up, and i completely understand why they give native americans benefits and the whole reasoning behind affirmative action. i also understand that no matter what they do, it still can't magically make things right.
that's my point. i
recognize the atrocities that have occurred throughout history in
many countries, including here. i recognize that there is still a great deal of racism and inequality in the world today.
i recognize that many beautiful rich cultures have been destroyed or almost completely lost throughout history… because some other race thought they were inferior, less than human… and it makes me sick!
so, while i realize that you aren't responsible for the past genocidal practices against australian aboriginals, the fact that you seem to have no empathy and are bitter about the "handouts" they get really disgusts me, because it's basically the same attitude that other ignorant racist white people perpetuate & make the rest of us look bad.
once again, fuck you.
