Well a little history lesson for you guys the aboriginals were not here first there was other people here called the pigmy people they were short little Africans and do you know who killed them off ? The aboriginals absolutely smashed them killed everyone one of them and now they don’t exist look it up guys
It's believed that all humans originated out of the plains of Africa and evolved to suit their respective climates and countries.
In the case of the aboriginals, I believe they were initially Papua New Guinneans and Torres Strait Islanders, which wandered across during the Gondwana era and populated Australia.
People in this country need to come to terms with the fact that we have a massive cultural divide between aborigines and white Australians that needs to be changed.
The only divides in this country are put their by those who want society changed to their own cultural beliefs, because they cannot get on with others.
Perhaps you should try and put yourself in their shoes for a minute.
You mean the shoes white colonisation brought to Australia? Because prior to colonisation they didn't have shoes either. No crocs, no thongs, no palm leaf designer sandals, NOTHING.
There are so many problems in aboriginal communities, this we can agree on. But we created this issue.
No we didn't. The problems in aboriginal communities (crime, excessive drug and alcohol use, child rape, rape in general, sexual assaults) are all brought on themselves.
Nobody forces them to do such things, they MAKE the CHOICE to do them, and bring shame on their communities.
Imagine the majority of your race was inhumanely slaughtered so that we could occupy your country. This is something that wont be forgotten easily. Nor should it. It doesnt matter that it was our ancestors versus their ancestors, the resentment is still there.
You do realise that there are tribes of full blood aboriginals today living in small settlements, in perfect harmony, with no crime and child rape, and they enjoy the life they have.
Ask them about their thoughts, and they'll tell you they don't mind.
The ones kicking up a stink are as much Aboriginal as they are Aussie, but want to kick up a fuss.
Just like my step aunt. White fellas to blame for this, that and everything else.
The fact is those blaming the whites are looking for excuses to cover up their own inability to control their behaviours.
There is no definitive answer as to how we can fix this problem, but it is our responsibility to try, regardless how long it takes and what it costs, because if you want aboriginal people to contribute more to our society then we need to help them to get to that point in their history. Like it or not.
Nobody makes them commit crimes. Nobody makes them rape their kids.
Throwing money at the problem only makes it worse.
There are many proud indigenous people out there in anything from blue collar to white collar high end jobs. Instead of sitting around moping about shit, they pulled their fingers out and made something of their lives (rather than playing the blame game).
Aboriginals survived in this country for 50 000 years perfectly well.
I get they were nomadic, but a curved stick and a hollowed out log you blow into, are hardly marvels of modern science.
They'd have been wiped out by now (as there are VERY few remote tribes still out there in large numbers). Andaman Islands and a few tribes deep in the South American rainforests, and possibly a small number in PNG/Indonesia are about it.
They dont have an academic desire like European races have always had. Look at the Greeks thousands of years ago, they were studying the stats and creating philosophy and mathematic theorum. But this had no relevance in aboriginal Australia. Nor did it places like Africa or north and south America. My point is, you cant expect the aboriginal race to just get on board and suddenly become like an academic white Australian. This will take time. Generations.
Actually even the Africans and Mongols managed to figure out how to build yurts/humpees/basic housing.
But hey, if the majority of Bulldogs fans on here cant be patient during a rebuild period for our club which may take a few years or more, there's fuck all to no chance you can be patient with regards to changing the black V white culture devide in australia.
There is no divide, there's refusal to integrate into society. You can lead a horse to water but you can't force it to drink.
Anywhooo this is getting straying off topic a tad now.
