How quickly we forget Pauline Hanson and her ilk.
The fact that you didn't understand my posts shows that you need to start reading, then you might notice something. Remember the bit about being
deeply, deeply ashamed?
Did you REALLY read what Pauline Hanson said? I don't think I am the one who needs to dig a bit deeper to be honest.
Did you REALLY read what I posted?
The makings of the problems stem from ignorance and intolerance and it takes two to tango.
"We welcomed you here, so shut up, be grateful and act like us, you wog ba$tard$."
Assimilation takes time. And when the attitudes on display in Cronulla are what you are confronted with, why even try?
Pauline whinged about Ghetto-isation and the size of the "Black" budget, without ever trying to look into it any deeper, and an ashamedly large
number of Australians who should have known better went along for the ride, eating up her words and spewing them back. Telling us that our problems
stemmed from ungrateful immigrants who didn't, couldn't or wouldn't act like "real" Australians. Whatever the hell they are. She also miserably
failed to understand the Mabo High Court decision.
That land you're so proud to have given them includes Maralinga and every other nuclear test site. Hmm, useful stuff that is. Lets not forget
all of the very useful land they have been given as well.
I thought that looked a little wrong. Want to clean that quote up?
Yes I have lived amongst the Aborigine population so I do speak from some level of knowledge.
Where?
I am aware of the health
problems and I do know there is an imbalance in the jail system. But the same can be said for a number of minority groups. Is it right no, but even
you must admit that per person we spend more on the Aboriginal population than any in this country - so where does all of the money go?
To people like my parents, who were paid exorbitant rates to induce them to live in such a $h!thole. That included Zone B taxing, the maximum Austudy
rate for their kids, free travel to and from Central Oz each year for their annual holiday, free housing. The maximum overtime rates available in
Australia...Even with all that money pumped into the "black econcomy" it still ends up benefitting the whites.
Which other minority groups suffer the same level of problems as the Australian Aborigines and do so within their own, stolen, land?
