Does a referendum offer ‘us’ another chance to reconcile with ‘them’? : Comments

By Tom Clark and Melissa Walsh, published 7/11/2011

Our research suggests non-Aboriginal Australians consistently affirm a need for reconciliation that is not diminished by their differences of opinion about what forms it should take.

Post Script:

"Will you and Squeers please give us some names, if you like I can fill pages with names of people who are on record using the code words "Anti Racist" as their cover story.
Here's a start:"

By your logic, the fact that these writers are anti-racist means that they are anti-white, which in the real world means that they are racist. So my list of 'seven proud, identifiable and openly practicing "Racist" writers, bloggers or commentators' is thus:
Andrew Jakubowicz
Matt Henderson
Alex Gollan
Anthony Main
Don Oorst
Brian Stokes
Cara Munro

Are you beginning to see the flaws in your logic yet?

Rizla,
Name the "Racists", all of those people I listed are "Anti Racist", they must be opposing someone?
Will you give us the names of local people who use the word "Racist" to describe themselves and their work?
Can you please identify the groups which publicly promote Racist theory and educate people on the subject of practical Racism?
Furthermore could you please identify active or retired ideological Racists who've been members of parliament, the Police and judiciary?
I won't bother asking you to identify people convicted of "Racism" as it's defined by the various state acts, the names would likely fit on one side of a post it note.
C'mon then, the "Racist Roll Of Shame" must be huge, given the money that goes into "Anti Racism" there surely must be an online database? of names

You know that poem "son of mine" set me to thinking.
Why don't we set up an institute like Yad Vashem in Israel to memorialise and study the Aboriginal genocide?
They remember the victims of the Shoah,identify and publicly name the villains of WW2 as well as those "Righteous among nations", gentiles who aided Jews in distress.
They also weed out impostors,frauds, fake atrocity stories and clear up misunderstandings or misinterpretation of events pertaining to the Shoah.
All we whites hear is how we came from overseas,supposedly atrocitied everyone and stole their land.
White kids also need to know about the good guys, the heroic Whites who showed courage and defended Aborigines, such as the Reverend John Green of Corranderk.

Well what sort of example does talking about Myall Creek set for young White kids?
Shouldn't the focus be on the good guys, those who led exemplary lives?
What example do we want young white kids to follow?
We whites can't be collectively responsible for the atrocities and not be attributed a share in the goodwill with Aborigines that was developed by decent White people.
The argument that "We were different then" is untenable, the societies from which White colonials were drawn have had the same moral codes and mix of Teutonic, Greek and Roman law for close to 2,000 years.
We are no different to our ancestors, there are good White people and bad White people, I'd venture that the proportions of both mindsets in society have not changed significantly over time.

Jay,

When did white stop being a race? I must have missed that memo.
