Your 'test' of aboriginality is some magical % of a persons defendants. So using that idea an extended family would get together and some members would be aboriginal and some wouldn't. Your whole attitude disgusts me more than words can express. |

Thought I'd repost the true meaning of RACISM;
the belief that all members of each race possess characteristics, abilities, or qualities specific to that race, especially so as to distinguish it as inferior or superior to another race or races. "theories of racism" prejudice, discrimination, or antagonism directed against someone of a different race based on the belief that one's own race is superior. I've always seen ones race as a part of ones individualism. Something we can be proud of. Whilst early Australian white settlement has a lot to be ashamed of unfortunately our generation can do very little about that other than to accept the fact that what really happened, happened and that was the way the world was back then, not just in Australia. Australia does need to embrace Aboriginal culture a bit more positively and the more Aboriginal culture and history is researched, the more interesting it's becoming. I mean 40-60,000 years of history is mind boggling. If you think they were only walking around the desert chucking spears then you need to get out of your cave a bit more! I think the whole racism debate muddies the waters a bit and is a huge distraction. I accept RACISM is still alive in Australia but I think only a small percentage of the population can be accused of Racism according to the true meaning above. All the rest is just RANCID BULLYING which too me is just as unacceptable! Like I said earlier, we ALL have prejudices big, small, good and especially bad. It's part of the human makeup and it's what kept previous generations alive. We just need to learn how to moderate those prejudices as to not cause offence. Cheers 😄 |

Aliens are out there - reading this in a galaxy far, far away. They must be laughing at our Earthly quarrels as they plan their invasion.

Tex, this is the sentence that most from both sides of the fence seem to have difficulty with.
"Whilst early Australian white settlement has a lot to be ashamed of unfortunately our generation can do very little about that other than to accept the fact that what really happened, happened and that was the way the world was back then, not just in Australia." No-one can change what happened in many countries but we can all acknowledge it and move on with life. Too many have a chip on their shoulder and will not let go. |

QandA is sometimes hard to take seriously. They have a history of cherry picking people of similar leftist agendas onto the panel and balancing it with at least one 'outsider' they can all gang up on. Aided and abetted with the 'rent a crowd' mob and a small group militant uni students in the audience. How many panelists on QandA and city journos have ever lived in regional areas where racism is very much a two way street? A handful of internalsed or reverse racists visiting for a day with a camera crew doesn't give you the full scope of racial problems around this country. It can't be fixed by focusing solely on one group. My wife is from an indigenous background. She's proud of her indigenous heritage. Granted she's as black in colour as Captain Cook, but she's still proud. Her father and her first cousins are definitely black. Me, I'm a white third fleet descendant. Something the media types keep telling me I should be ashamed of. I'm not. Which I guess makes me a bigot and a racist for not being ashamed of my white skin colour. |

As for an education I think I informed all, that I lived with aboriginals and two of my good mates are of the stolen generation and have been friends with them for 42 years now, so do you think I don't know what they are on about. Some how I think I once lived and worked in Darwin, Katherine and so on and my wife's dad is part aboriginal, so what does that make my children As for what most new Australians or young city people think or the new age PC mobs love to try play games with, I don't respect their foolish uneducated position much at all and you know why it is as so ? because they love to beat it all up and twist everything around, so there is only one way at looking at things and that's only their way, so all others points of view are totally rejected ridiculed abused and threatened. All history shows socialist have their beginnings in bulling others with brutal deception and cunning not to mention just lies. The media do they go and ask a full blood aboriginal, who does not go along with their views anything and air it on TV ? Do you think all aboriginals have total respect for the media or hold them in high regard ? |

Has anyone visited an Aboriginal Mission?? Most Aboriginal people would know nothing about their history, go ahead and ask the average Aboriginal person about their history, ask them about Marbo, ask about their ancestors, and stories, all you will get back is blank stares of confusion, and may be a racial insult thrown your way. Many will complain about white man being racist, when in fact they are being racist. They are happy to get money from white man, they are happy to drink white man alcohol to excess, and live in and destroy houses build by white man as well as being maintained and payed for by white man. What is mind boggling to me is that they have been here for 40-60 thousand years and in that time did not even manage to build a grass hut, and no that is not being an racist it is simply stating an observation. I love how people who state facts are labelled racists. Calling a person black, white, brown or green is not being racist it is simply making an observation and stating an obvious fact, or should I be offended and feel racially discriminated against when I don't get the same benefits as what is offered to the Aboriginal man doing the same job standing next to me?? Should I be offended when an Asian calls me caucasian or white?? The world is getting out of control to the point of being ridiculous. Kids not allowed to bring peanut bitter sandwiches to school, muslims getting offended by christian holidays, etc etc

IMO I would say that this is racism, or more precisely, bigotry, and yes I have been to missions and have many indigenous friends. If you read Captain Cook's journals you will find he says that they were the happiest, healthiest people he had ever seen. The colonists gave the Aborigines alcohol as through experience they had found it was an efficient method to accelerate their conquest, destroy willpower and corrupt aboriginal cultures. It is now well known that traditional populations which did not use alcohol have not evolved to physically process it and are prone to addiction. And aboriginal Australians believed the country as they found it was perfect and it was their responsibility to maintain that perfection. They must have thought us complete lunatics. .

I didn't like it when the crowd used to be racist to Wally Lewis by chanting "Wally's a ******" when he was on the field.
I have no idea who this Adam Goods bloke is, but from what I have been told people don't like him because he is an idiot, not because of whatever race is may be. I also have to agree that some people take PC way to far these days. |

I had to deal with such from when i was a kid and go see my mates in the mission and all that stuff. The problem was mainly to do with the new settling people not understanding them at all back in them early days, just as it is nowadays, we gave them things we said they needed, but they did not want or need that. The burning down of housed etc was only due to our lot having no understanding of what their views were and was only due to our peoples ignorance of them. It was a criminal totally destructive act to support them drinking like has been done and is still going on. On knowing full blood people I know that they are a different people, as their values are not what we have been brainwashed to believe and it is this that makes it so hard for other races to understand what they are truly about. Modern day Australia perceptions of aboriginals is only all about everything but the true dignity of the real full on true aboriginal people. |

Lets understand this. One war dance and the crowd is offended. Aboriginals don't get a say in their country with constant symbols of their oppression, destruction and annihilation being displayed daily (flag and anthem) and yet the footy crowd (and some on this forum too) are being offended by an indigenous dance during the indigenous round of the AFL. I put it to you that perhaps some people need to HTFU and get over it... Or is it only

Goodes went walkabout last week. He's back this week refreshed and ready to play footy. No more polarizing issues in the game hopefully although I doubt that will happen.

There's a bunch of complete fools writing into the newspapers saying all Cats supporters should cheer Goodes every time he touches the ball. Are they for real. These soft ***** need to stfu and not tell me what to do at the footy. If I want to cheer for my team and boo the opposition then I have every bloody right to do so.

And I would like to know why people with say 1/32 aboriginal ancestry seem to place an emphasis on identifying as aboriginal but the same people then seem to ignore the other 31/32 parts that go to make who and what they are?

Love the bloke! I think he's an absolute legend! Listen to him speak. Fantastic bloke. Always backs up what he says and qualifies every opinion rather than making blanket statements.

What kind of a soft **** society do we live in seriously. I cant beleive this guy is getting any support at all. Hes getting booed ffs, if he cant handle that well then he should extend his one week of leave and make it permanent. If it werent for all the white folk which are probably 95% of the crowd buying tickets, signing up memberships etc , he wouldnt be earning the $$$$$ he earns.
Any player that intimidates a crowd with a dance, slur, what ever act it might be, leaves himself open for scrutiny. I watch a number a sports and one example of 'racial unfarness' would have to be in the ufc where a fighter has a massive tattoo over his chest saying, 'brown pride'. Now what would be the consequence of me being an elite athlete or even an average joe blow, with a tattoo on my chest saying white pride???? Instant rascist!!!!! Yet everybody feel free to describe an anglo as white person, thats fine. ****** me right off. |

How nice. White people pay your salary so we can boo you and be racist towards you... Seriously?! Do you think before you type? As for the UFC guy, What's the history for the guy with the Brown Pride tat? What's the context? Same if you had a white pride tat, context is everything.
