I am an Aboriginal woman, and my people are hurting : Comments

By Samantha Cooper, published 4/6/2020

Reconciliation Week is exhausting at the best of times. Now more than ever, we are bombarded with tidal waves of racism and ignorance.

To Paul1405.

Coming from a family of soldiers, I was quite happy to go to Vietnam and shoot a few commies. But I am also a student of military history and I know that too many young men had gone to war and died for nothing. I like to know what I am getting into. So I read books by journalists, soldiers, and historians about Vietnam, and realised that the war was crazy.

After the war ended, many young people like myself thought that right wing people were completely stupid and that we were going to change the world. South African apartheid was the next "cause celebre" for young people like myself who wanted to display our supposed superior intelligence and moral virtue. But just like Vietnam, I needed to know what I as talking about.

So I did the same thing I did with Vietnam, found out as much as I could, even reading what the Boers wrote about apartheid. Their premise was that black Africans had low intelligence, seemed to be genetically more inclined towards mindless violence than white people, and were incapable of running a modern society. I took that with a grain of salt until I saw white Rhodesia, (the bread basket of Africa) fall to the blacks, descend into mass slaughter where the whites fled, and now they are all starving to death.

Everything I see today supports the Boers view. Poverty and crime is primarily a product of low intelligence and if certain ethnicities are very disproportionately represented in inter generational welfare dependence and serious crime, then join the dots yourself.

What I see in the USA was a stupid white policeman who accidently killed a black man, probably because the white police is absolutely fed up of dealing with out of control blacks who never stop committing crimes. That was enough excuse for the dumbest and most violent segment of US society to riot and blame their lack of success on the white population, upon whom they are dependent for their welfare cheques.

It is Rhodesia all over again.

Hi Foxy, thanks for that link, I read it, and its very much as the situation is. Morrison and his trite indignation " shocking stuff from America, but nothing to see here" that's been the typical political mainstream reaction in Australia since Arthur Phillip was Governor. Found a new calling, after 25 years in industrial work, I spent 20 years of my life working in 'crisis housing' mostly for older people, in and around Australia's largest Aboriginal community the inner burbs of Sydney. I was not specifically involved in Aboriginal affairs, but my work did cross over with them from time to time. Today Western Sydney has surpassed Redfern as the largest indigenous community in Australia. It not the back blocks of the Kimberley where Big Nana has her experience of the 0.1% of the Aboriginal population, its here in the big cities. Brisbane has a sizeable indigenous, Maori and islander population as well, they all suffer a degree of social disadvantage. I'll recount my experience with an old bloke in Sydney, about 90 now, a God fearing man, regular church goer. He worked for 40 years as a screw in a maximum security prison in NSW. His attitude to black prisoners, could have come out of the sheriffs department handbook in Alabama in the 1930's. His attitude in a matter of fact way; "The only good darkies I ever come across was those hanging in their cells when I done the morning checks!" As I said a real Christian gentleman. How do we find them?

LAGO, I once came across a White Rhodesian at a social gathering in Sydney, he had fled the black terror of Zimbabwe, and settled as a "refugee" in Australia. The bloke opened up, telling all who cared to listen how in the "special forces" in Rhodesia he and his fellows would go out on 'turkey shoots', not with the intention of shooting birds, but black people. He may have been simply big noting, or he could have been telling the truth. One thing for certain, the bloke was racists to the core.

BTW, saying; "I was quite happy to go to Vietnam and shoot a few commies", tells me a lot about you. I take it you are in Africa, or at some stage been a part of White Africa.

Big Nana, so the 3% (indigenous) of the population accounted for 7 deaths in custody, and the 97% (non-indigenous) accounted for 8 deaths, in the cheery picked year 2016/17. Amazing, Joseph Goebbels, would do wonders with your statistics

To Paul 1405

I can only assume that like so many other young people, you have been conditioned (brainwashed) into accepting that "racism" is the "Original Sin"? Stop "racism" and society can rise into the sunlit uplands of utopia?

One problem with that idea (there are a lot more) is that everybody is racist, to one degree or another. I began to figure that out when I realised that the only possible explanation that the so called "anti racists" could give to explain away why so many ethnicities were always dysfunctional, was to blame the white guys.

I presume you know a bit of history? So you know that when Hitler blamed the Jews for the problems of the German people, that was racism. Using exactly the same logic, "anti racists" blaming the white race for the dysfunctions of every dysfunctional race, is racism also. Some "anti racists" have made extremely racist statements about white people that have been well publicised. "Anti racist" apologists tried to explain away these racist statements by saying that black people can not be racist. Which, if you have half a brain, you would know is a racist statement by itself.

There are two racist theories that explain minority dysfunction. The first racist theory hold that white people are entirely responsible for the fact that some ethnicities are grossly over represented in criminal behaviour and welfare dependency. The second, is that such dysfunctional ethnicities generally have low IQ's and a genetic predisposition to very violent behaviour, much more than other races.

Lock yourself in a room and turn on your critical analysis circuits. Switch off your cultural conditioning, and use reasoned logic to figure out which racist explanation for minority dysfunction is correct.

And to help you, ask yourself this. If white racism is so bad, why does every dysfunctional ethnicity try to barge into our countries? And how is it that the smart Asians, only fifty years ago as poverty stricken as the Africans and Muslims, now so prosperous? And why won't the smart Asians have a bar of African immigration?

lovely to see tens of thousands of people who hate old people and blacks for that matter protesting on the street over the weekend. Pity about those who can't go to a funeral or wedding. OH well the violent selfish abortionist are certainly the ones with virtue.

Paul, that figure was for one year only. All the other years in the stats the white deaths were higher per capita. Did you not read the final sentence? And why are you so unconcerned by all the white deaths?
