Yep, John.

I feel pretty much the same way about 1066 and William the Conqueror, coming over from France, just when the English had got their ruling act together. Opportunist Frog.

And what about the Jutes, Angles and Saxons who simply wandered over from Jutland and Germany, sat down and called the place "home". The nerve.

Just between you and me, to be perfectly honest, I wasn't that thrilled by the Romans either. Although they did at least have the courtesy to build some pretty decent roads. Many of which are still in use today, you know.

I know some Celts who are still pretty pissed off about the Belgae, too. Bunch of land-grabbing layabouts.

OK, so Australia was "invaded" too.

And...?

What an absolute load of garbage. Once again Pilger strikes out but lands no blows and more importantly, offers nothing of substance. It is so easy to criticise but where are some positive contributions in that article?

Yes, the situation of Aborigines in remote communities is dire and a national disgrace. However, from Pilger's argument doing nothing iss far more acceptable than doing something, such as the intervention. Notably Pilger didn't mention the catalyst for the intervention was the 'Little Children are Sacred'report. I've read that report and what it contained was nothing short of horrific. Seems Mr Pilger chooses to ignore it.

It is also notable that Bess Price, who lives in one of those affected communities, publicly supports the intervention. She was also famously denigrated by Larissa Behrendt for doing so. Behrendt is a city dwelling academic person of Aboriginal descent who wouldn't have a clue about the experiences of Bess Price. Despite that Behrendt felt she knew better than Bess what Aborigines in remote communities, especially women and children, need or want. Bit like Pilger really.

There is no argument against the fact many Aboriginal people live in abject poverty and suffer accordingly but so far nothing Pilger has done offers any sort of solution. Compared to people like Bess Price and Noel Pearson Mr Pilger is a sycophantic leftist who uses words to indiscriminately bludgeon rather than give any meaningful contribution.

Oh, and just because some idiotic local council decides to be have it's own version of history written into its unenforcable charter doesn't make it official. Although it does reinforce the stupidity of officialdom.

"Always was, is and will be black land" -2deadly

White people are all so racist, especially compared to every other race.

Pericles, If the Romans had Romanized England, the Brits would not have Anglicized this continent, would they?

Thanks John Pilger, but don’t hope of turning any stone-head. Thanks 2deadly and Shadyoasis and Lexy for your serious contribution to a subject to which I have given much thought for many years.

So far my opinion is that all of you have consulted diverse sources of information and, strangely, your conclusions are all valid.

What strikes me most is that we, the White, have supplanted Australia’s set of cultures, (Civilization), and we are no longer capable of looking at what happened but from the point of our status in the present artificial society.

What if, only once, we were to cast our clothes and attempt to survive like the Native did?

Wouldn’t then we feel the desolation the Native felt if we were barred from the source of sustenance? Forget he murdering and the maiming!

My ultimate question remains:

Does the wearing of a Uniform vested on us at entering school, aged only five, throw us into a social war that admits no piety and erases what moral sense might have been in us at birth?

My finding is yes and Shadyoasis has the closest of diagnosis.

Yes minotaur John Pilger has no ready pill, the solution being Democracy of which we talk a lot idly.

"Always was, is and will be white land"

what if a white person said that? It would be hailed as evidence of racism, yet if a black person says it, it's ok?

No it is not, it's an extremely racist expression of race superiority to make such a statement.

""Black" people are all so racist, especially compared to every other race." What if a white person said that .. you'd be calling in the government lawyers, funded by whitey, to persecute the perpetrators.

So ready to claim whites are racist, to the point of being completely racist themselves.

They are not and most of this is in your own tiny minds .. whites are a constant easy target, so much so that it seems ok to be racist against them, in the sure knowledge that in Australia, you can make any claim against whites and the progressive media will carry the message for you.

We are training an entire generation to cry victim, and point at whites as their persecutors, so no one need to get off their bums and work or nation build, because it is all whiteys fault anyway.

If whitey ever goes away, you will all have to pull your weight and pick up the slack, you do get that don't you .. someone has to pay the taxes, pull the heavy loads, and be the generous souls.

Not like any of these whiners will ever pull their weight or be a cohesive part of the community.

They band together in their hatred of whitey, whose society provides for them. So many people come here and are here already and just expect that some one provides, they hate the majority, the whites, but still have their hands extended.

Let's see you all forgo the benefits of the hated "white" society.

The expectation of entitlement is overwhelming in Australia.

Well that's OK with me. It was an invasion. Result, we won, they lost. Get over it, that's how it was.

So that's the end of it. For the aboriginal losers, no compensation, no land rights, to the victors go the spoils.

I really do feel sorry for the fair dinkum aboriginal who have to continually live down this kind of cr4p, written in their name, when they had nothing to do with it.
