Where did I say you condone war against palestine? where did I say you take a side? I pointed out you have never commented on a thread in regards to israel/palestine. No assumptions were made by me, only you.
you mentioned my heritage with a snotty little attitude as if i'm somehow just as bad as those i'm complaining about.
Well if you knew anything about history you would never we as humans have never lived in peace and there has always been conflict sice the cavemen.
and should we just accept that humans are fucked up and never wish for anything better?
You have made alot of assumptions in this part of your post. Having an opinion of a situation does not mean you are racist or insensitive and making comments about the subject on a discussion board doesn't either. This is reality, people have differing views.
well… in my opinion, your opinion… is racist. i was actually mostly reacting to jake numbers at first, but your comments basically give off the same impression.
I have no problem with any Aboriginal living in Australia, what I do have a problem with is ANY race bitching and moaning about how tough life was and how the fucking world owes them shit because of past evils. Inhumane shit has been done to almost every race in history, lands have been conquered, peoples have been wiped out, this is life, in order to move forward you must learn from the past and go in the opposite direction. Be stronger and make ure it never happens again.
but life IS tough for them, and the "past evils" are really still extremely recent.
learn from the past?? what? as if they were somehow at fault for what happened and could have prevented it?
you are so, so lost.
like i said, i'd like to see you walk in their shoes, cuz you seem to have a serious problem understanding the severity of their struggle.
I acknowledge the severity of every atrocity in history, not just one.
obviously you don't.
All minorities suffer racism here and everywhere. Noone is special. Everyone is equal.
except everybody is
not treated as equal. far from it. you're being hella contradictory.
exactly, minorities are still discriminated against and mistreated in many countries, it is horrible and fucked up so why are you over here blabbering about how people should just learn from shit and move on?
I'd like to see you walk in a palestinian childs shoes
what the fuck?? once again i am not the one being racist and lacking empathy here. my heart goes out to any and all suffering people of this world; i'm not the one who needs to feel some compassion here. so what the fuck are you even talking about?
must just be your anti-semitic preconceptions showing through again…
We are a multicultral country, there is a fair mix of every race that I went to school with, have worked with and am freinds with.
yea, okay. so how do your friends feel when you talk shit about them and their "handouts"?
Many on TV, many playing sports, many in jobs, you don't live here so you shouldn'tspeak on that.
many? if you say so…
funny how few i can find info on though…
not to mention the majority of the aboriginal celebrities seem to be mixed, light skinned, with very caucasian features. what about any representation of dark skinned beauty?
why in the history of the world have there only been 2 aboriginal models ever to land the cover of vogue australia? the most current (samantha harris) while beautiful, is half german and very light skinned. now, don't get me wrong… i'm not saying that makes her any less in touch with her culture and i think it's great that somebody is representing aboriginal beauty in the media, but it's pretty fucked up that there still seems to be almost no representation of actual dark skinned and non visibly mixed aboriginal people.
it's not really a shock though, kind of like how almost all the indians in bollywood are hella light (indo-aryan) or how the majority of the latinos in the telenovelas are blonde and blue eyed caucasians (as opposed mestizos, or afro-latinos who make up a huge amount of the population but get almost no representation in the media… that's a whole other rant though.)
the point is, there is a lack of representation of dark skinned people in the media in many countries (including here) because of RACISM! racism is still alive today and the fact that you're so dismissive of it means you're either delusional or just an ass.
i'm not saying australia is the only fucked up country, because in a lot of the world people with dark skin are still treated as inferior, or less attractive. but just because it's so common doesn't make it any less fucked up! i don't know how you can realize and accept that there's still so much racism and obstacles, but at the same time you still expect people to magically get over it and have the same quality of life that you do?
Sitting on their asses getting hand outs complaining won't move them forward, they need to get to WANT to progress, not be contempt with hand outs.
you sound hella racist.
like i said, i'd like to see how well you would progress after all that shit. and it's hella racist that you generalize like that and assume they just want to be lazy and sit on their asses in the first place.
you know what though? this is just getting tedious because obviously you just don't get it.
so fuck it.
