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.

If you don't equate equality to race, then you are a racist. For God's sake don't tell Foxy. I think you are making your logic up on the run because it looks a little confused. Is it because nobody has ever asked you these questions before, so you have no prepared answers? And the slogans your peers have made you memorise over the years, which you thought explained everything, you now find wanting.?

Now you are saying "all people are equal in value", which is nuts. A heart surgeon obviously has a lot more value to society than a meth head. I would love to know by what convoluted logic you came up with that doozy? Nazi Germany used contorted logic to rationalise around their own ideology to prove how the Japanese were "Aryans". You seem to be doing the same thing.

White people created the modern world because we invented everything in the world for the last 400 years, and intelligence testing was just another scientific advance that we invented. Cognitive metricians are scientists just like psychologists. All they seek is the truth, and for 100 years businesses, universities and the military, have all been interested in this scientific discipline, and they apply it's principles when assessing recruits. If it was a pathological "science", it would have been exposed as a fraud long ago.

"Aryan Race Theory" was the kooky ideology invented by the National Socialists of Germany to justify German expansion into the lands of the "untermenschen". It put blond haired, blue eyed people as "supermen", and dark haired, dark eyed people as evolutionary delayed inferiors.

Black people generally are superior runners and usually dominate those sporting disciples involving running. But blacks don't even bother entering Olympic level swimming events. Blacks also have superior IV skin protection but generally, the lowest IQ's White people are superior swimmers and adapted to live in colder climates because their skin absorbs vitamin D from the sun. Asians generally are not so athletic as whites or blacks, but are a lot smarter than blacks, and a little smarter than whites.

To Foxy.

Three shipwrecked sailors were sitting on a cold, windswept rock in the North Sea. They were an Englishman, a Scotsman, and an Irishman.

The Englishman found a lantern, gave it a rub, and out popped a genie.

The Genie said "Thank you masters. I have been in that lamp for 1000 years. I was going to give you three wishes, but since there are three of you, I will give one each."

The Englishman said "I wish I was back home in London, in my easy chair, in front of the fire." The genie pointed to him and "poof", he disappeared.

The Scotsman said, "I wish I was back in Glasgow, in my easy chair, in front of the fire. The genie pointed to him and "poof", he was gone too.

The Irishman said "It is very cold and lonely here, I wish that my two friends were back."

Here is one you will really hate, Foxy.

Three blondes were walking along a beach and one of them spotted a lantern sticking out of the sand. She picked it up, gave it a rub, and out popped a genie.

The Genie said "Thank you masters. I have been in that lamp for 1000 years. I was going to give you three wishes, but since there are three of you, I will give one each."

The first blond said "I want to be smart". So the genie pointed at her and "poof", she turned into a redhead.

The second blonde said "I want to be smarter than the redhead." So the genie pointed at her and "poof". she turned into a brunette.

The last blonde said. "I want to be smarter than those two." So the genie pointed to her and "poof" she turned into a bloke.

LEGO,

OK. I can do this as well.

Here goes.

Three blokes wanted to join the FBI.

They turned up for their test.

The first one was given a gun and told to go into a room
where his wife was waiting and shoot her.

The bloke couldn't do it - "She's my wife". He explained.
So he was dismissed.

The second bloke was also given a gun and he too was told
to go into the room where his wife was waiting and he also
was instructed to shoot her. He couldn't do it either and
was also dismissed.

Finally the third bloke was given a gun and told to go into
a room where his wife was waiting and told to shoot her.
This bloke took the gun and went into the room where his
wife was waiting. Some time passed. Finally the bloke came
out walked up to the FBI agents and placed the gun he'd been
given onto the desk in front of them.

He went on to explain:

"The gun you guys gave me wasn't loaded." They smiled at him.

Then he added:

"So I strangled the bitch!"

LEGO,

We've certainly gone overboard with the jokes.

However, back to the topic.

Countries all over the world are joining in global
protests in response to the death of Afro-American
George Floyd. Apparently parallels of racism are
being drawn of systemic oppression globally.

The movement has brought people on the streets in
Rio de Janeiro, Buenos Aires, Abuja, Nairobi,
Barcelona, Copenhagen, Paris, London, Sydney,
Melbourne and son on.

Demonstrators oppose the racial legacy the death of
Floyd embodies and the brutal, militarized police
response to the protests. Although they honour the
commonality of black struggles everywhere and more
broadly the fight for human rights, the words "I can't
breathe" are chillingly familiar.

An article in "The Guardian" points out that

"In australia they evoke the death of David Dungay, an
Indigenous man who uttered those words 12 times as he was
restrained by prison guards."

"In the UK they were cried out by Jimmy Mubenga as security
guards pinned the deportee to his plane seat."

"To say that Black Lives Matter is not only to demand that
they're not stolen, but to insist that they're truly
valued."

"However - the breadth of the protests not only is a
testament to what has gone wrong, but also a promise
that change is possible."

"The protests although black-led are multi-racial,
showing the growing breadth of support."

Progress can and must be made. Otherwise in the future
more than just statues and memorials may be destroyed.
We will ignore them at our own peril.

LEGO, the only one making things up is you, as you sprook convoluted clap-trap, thanks to your reading of Nazi and other white supremacists propaganda on race. You should feel superior, since you have the perverted patter down cold. Of course one can easily say; "If you don't equate equality to race, then you are a racist" got proof, as I said; "all races are of equal value" unlike you who places higher value on the white race, over black, because whites invented electric toasters or some such thing. For all this great white inventiveness, what have YOU invented in your time, or are you a failure. Inventions are the built on's of past achievement, anything "invented" in the arbitrary past 400 year, required previous achievements in science to be possible. No wheel, no rocket ship to the Moon.

"But blacks don't even bother entering Olympic level swimming events". Australia was full of Olympic size swimming pools and great swimming weather, no darkies allowed in the pool when England's white people had 5 Olympic pools and lousy swimming weather. No access to swimming pools could explain a lot of things, including results. Black golfers, few and far between. Tiger Woods, born 20 years earlier, regardless of unseen ability, he would have been carrying the clubs, not hitting the ball, and certainly would not have been allowed in the club house. Those whites with no such golfing ability were in the club house sipping gin and tonics telling each other what great golfers they were.

Paul, anti racists have always spruiked the slogan that all races are equal. If you don't now believe that all races are equal, then you are a racist. So, if you really believe that now, then for God's sake don't spread your opinions around your university peer group unless you want to be charged with conduct unbecoming an ideological zealot.

What you are stating now is that all races are of equal value? Never heard that one before. But it seems to indicate to me that you have been doing some thinking lately and even you realise that the concept that all races are equal is self evidently unsupportable. Some races do things better than others. You don't have to be a Mensa from the local Audubon society to figure that out.

But hang on a minute, now in your second paragraph you seem to be going back to "proving" all races are equal in physical abilities?

In the USA and in other western countries, Africans and pacific Islanders are dominating football events and there was even a movie about the African dominated sport of basketball where the title of the movie was "White Men Can't Jump." Sounds like racism to me, even though I agree it is probably true. That's the funny thing about racism, the merest suggestion of white racism is howled down with fury. But say something negatively racist about whites and WHOOSH, it goes right over the Social Justice Warriors head.

Black African people obviously have better physical characterises when it comes to sports involving running. If they displayed any physical abilities at all in swimming, the sports promoters would be all over them to sign them up. But black sportsmen do not even try. There are no Tiger Woods in swimming, not because there is no opportunity for blacks to swim, it is because physically, they know they are at a distinct physical disability when compared to white people. Different bone densities and different flotation abilities.

Make up your mind. Either all races are equal or they are not.
