Why must we Australians constantly have ourselves on about this issue?
Why must we hear from within this community and out side it views that its all the fault of whites who invaded this country?
Why must we overlook most Aboriginals could not tell you the year of that invasion or who took part in it?
200 plus years is enough time to fix it!
It takes effort from both sides to fix it!
White Australia me and mine have to fix it.
But it will not be painless it will not be easy but we must fix it.
I at least know the people know the natural fear of mixing with us.
Know the do it tomorrow attitudes.
Why is it we talk Aboriginal culture but will not admit over drinking and child neglect is a part of that culture?
I give my time freely to help ,am white but uncle to hundreds of kids but sometimes unwanted in these community's.
I picked up a kid of 17 had seen him bashed in a domestic dispute kicked and bashed I took him home.
into the centre of a free lunch in a tent .
His family ran to his aid and the whole tent came to us no one gave it a thought that I had bought him home .
Yes racism in its worst way was my reward.
Sorry but some in this community must be made to care.

Can we fiz the 'white problem'.

After invasion they used alcohol, disease, violence and death to control, enslave and or eradicate (disperse) us.

Years of abuse, violence, sexual abuse and slavery at the hands of the colonisers and now the 'white problen' wonders why we don't really trust them.

The problem with 'whites' is that they don't see or admit to the child abuse, alcoholism, drug addiction, mass murderers in thier mob- but are quick to bung it all onto us.

The 'white problem' is that they cannot see the link between the learned behaviour of some of our people from them.

You know what I mean. Brutality, violence, alcohol (remember the rum corp that the colonisers set up early in the piece), sexual slavery and abuse of women and children, masacares, land theft - ...

The government is once again suggesting half way house for abused children in their communities.

Will this be classified another stolen generation or is it alright to do that now?

I hear they can make a pretty good brew out of bush tucker without accessing modern methods of manufacture.

Suebdootwo,
I think that your comments are hostile and any suggestion that are laden with hostility towards aborigines are the cause of the problem not the solution. People with your approach are responsible for the abuse and should stay out of discussion, for eveyone's sake!

Aka demonstrates the other great cancer eating up Aboriginal society - "It's all the white man's fault.". This lie is aided and abetted by guilt junkies on the soft left side of politics, whose real goal is perpetual self-flagellation, not helping Aborigines.
