government eviction of indigenous populated suburb ( NOTORIOUS GORDON ESTATE) (25)
bevrewetiSydney, New South Wales Australia5 Threads 58 PostsWe have to find positive solutions to move forward in harmony.
Seems to me that there have been many "solutions" over the years, they all seem good and well motivated at the time, but history shows that they have caused damage. I have no idea what the solution is other than putting aside differences and working together.
We whites can not solve the problem for the aboriginals, but one thing that they could look at is the example set by one of my nephews. I remember Bobby when he first started to look at his torres strait heritage, he was all excited. I congratulated him on his hard work in finding out abour that part, but reminded that he should also check the rest. The Italian heritage, the Finnish, the English. He is none of those alone, he is a mixture of all.

Abo_Idol2009: what you talking about this is our land.
Hey, I was born here 60 yrs ago, I served overseas in this country's defence forces (beside some black mates) it is my land too.
If we went all around world and restored all the land to the "original" people, it would involve moving most of the world. Look at England and see how many times it has been invaded over history, I cant even remember who were the original people of that island. The were the Angles, the picts, the normans, the vikings and god knows who else. the same thing is still happening today. After WW2 the allies dumped a whole heap of jewish refugees in a place called Palestine, and told the locals, Ok this is now Israel and these people own this land.
I myself think there is no excuse for acts that are in living memory, but the world is made of defeated people. always has been, always will be. Civilisations rise and then they fall. The US is on the way down at the moment
The government need to stop segregating aboriginal and torres strait islanders from white australia. Equality for everyone needs to be created. Have a look at the welfare system, there are separate payment schedules in place depending on your skin colour. The same in the education system, housing and loans, laws.....the list goes on. The same needs to be applied to everyone across the board so we all are on an even basis. I think a lot of animosity would be solved by doing this. The media also need to have a look at the way they report on issues also, they blow things out of proportion and highlight things that aren't really that important.

GEE Ralfie!!
That actually sounds a lot like what a certain lady was espousing for this country just a few years back. Unfortunately she was rubbished in the media and crucified by the politically correct people. Her name was Pauline Hanson.
