I'm Australian citizen and did not stole and did not kill anyone. If you did than it is your crime not mine.
Neither yourself or I did.
Australia did.
Hence why the government was not asking for Aboriginal people to have a voice in my household and instead in Australia.
Your personal issues are irrelevant to the conversation at hand.
Tell me you don't understand the issue without saying it...
Than explain me. How is it different.
No one individual who is still alive have done these things. But they were done in the name of our nation. We all have blood on our hands, even you who is new to this country. You decided to join our nation? Cool, but you have to accept the good with the bad. And this is part of the bad. No-one was trying to institute an apartheid, like you suggested.
This is a very brief description, there is plenty of stuff out there to read about this issue, I suggest you find some and educate yourself on the issue, even if it is too late to do the right thing.
Sorry as soon you start to separate people by their ancestry it is racism, apartheid it just one of the from to act on it. Unfortunately racism is too loaded, so i used milder word.
So, why first nation is inherently different to all other nations which now live in Australia? Why they need special treatment? Been first to arrive ? And it is still not clear to me how you can compensate for suffering to people who already dead? Division is never good, it just gives people chance to hate each other.
How the fuck is apartheid milder than racism? One is hate, the other is actively trying to subjugate the race. They may be linked, but you're delusional if you think apartheid is the "milder word".
And we've given all the information in this thread, but you either can't or refuse to understand it. I dunno how you have lived this long on earth and don't know that first nations people have generally got the shit end of the stick throughout history. Cos who gives a shit if the original people who were wronged are dead, this sort of trauma is encoded in their genes and carried by the following generations. It shits me immensely that you have the same voting power as me, yet you are so incredibly ignorant it's almost to the point of stupidity.
So than why repeat same mistakes now and wrong other people? Racism is wrong, regardless of intention. As long we do not stop separating people by their ancestry shit will not stop.
