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.

LEGO, peddling your brand of nonsense once again. With your unsubstantiated diatribe of guff!

"First, some cultures (eg Islam, National Socialist Germany) are extremely ethno/cultural/religious centric and are taught from childhood that out group members are inferior." There is no proof that the vast majority of Muslims have been indoctrinated to believe that they are superior, certainly to no more extent than Christians believe they are gods chosen people, and therefore superior. Your National Socialists reigned over Germany for 12 years 1933/45. They had not convinced the German people from childhood that Jews were inferior. In fact Jews had been an accepted part of German society for a couple of hundred years before the Nazi's came to power. What Germans become was ambivalent towards the treatment of Jews by the Nazi state.

"For example, in white western society, Asians and whites get on quite well together" Are you saying when the likes of you, Hanson and others of the far right were kicking the Asian can in Australia not too long ago, you were wrong to do so. Now your bunch want to kick the Muslim can.

According to you, you are an electrician with a very high IQ 130 or more, I did deduce that from what you said earlier. The electrician trade, according to Henmon-Nelson IQ testing, people so occupied rang from IQ 78 to 115, you must be an underachiever given your high IQ. According to the same testing my former occupation ranges from IQ 92 to 128, which puts be at the higher end of my profession. Should I look down on you given my superiority according to IQ and all your guff?

That changing my nick all the time, does that puff up your ego, I certainly hope so.

Heckling again, Paul? I guess that is all you can manage.

I have no idea where you ever got the idea that I have said I have an IQ of 130. You have obviously got me mixed up with another contributor.

The National Socialists in Germany justified their wars in the East by claiming that the Russians and Jews were untermenchen (sub human.)

Muslims are taught to hate non Muslims. The Koran is full of racist quotes denigrating non Muslims, encouraging violence and terror against them, and even telling believers not to take non believers as friends. According to an article in the left wing journal "Time", Saudi schoolbooks tell Saudi schoolchildren "all infidels are your enemies." The message from Mohammad was clear. Muslims should use military force to spread Islam into the lands of the kuffar (unbelievers). No wonder Hitler praised Islam as "a warriors religion" and Ghengis Khan chose Islam as the official state religion of the Mongols.

Asians and whites get on quite well together. As white suburbs in Australian cities become more and more Asian, they do not change from being peaceful communities into violence and crime ridden communities like the infamous "Gaza Strip" in Sydney (Caterbury-Auburn-Fairfield) where in the year 2000, 55% of the handgun shootings in the entire state of NSW occurred. School teachers in white/Asian areas do not need security guards at school to protect them from violent students as in the "troubled" (read Muslim) areas of Sydney.

White people deplore the wholesale immigration of Asians into their communities, not because the Asians are badly behaved, but because no race wants to be a minority within their own communities. The Asians I have spoken to would like to see Muslim immigration into Australia stopped. In one Federal election, the guy handing out "One Nation" leaflets at my local polling booth was Chinese. When I spoke to him, he smiled and said "I am from Mindanao, and I have seen what Muslims do to Chinese".

Interesting Paul

If LEGO is, in fact, a voortrekker and gay Untermensch, on the IQ scale.

I would say a man's sexuality is his own affair!

Cheers

you wrote on 12 June -Big Nanna - firstly may I say I have respected your comments on Aboriginal issues you have brought to this forum for many years, your voice - and many others - MUST be heard in this current 'WOKE' community.

You state - SAINTS. So many questions.

I respond - and I have so many more questions.

You state - "Firstly the Royal Commission into banking. These rip off schemes don’t just affect aboriginal people they also affect illiterate and semi illiterate whites as well, just that proportionally, more blacks are illiterate. The answer to the whole issue is to ensure aboriginal kids are better educated.

My response - The Banking Royal Commission alerted "viewers" as to the problems Aboriginals have with "identification" for documentary evidence as to opening an account. - Why?

You state - "I’m in a perfect position to understand the deficits in education for these kids. I have 25 aboriginal grandkids and those who were educated in remote communities are way behind their peers. I currently am caring for a 12 year old granddaughter who has come into town to do her secondary education and she is working at the same level as her 9 year old sister, who also lives with me. The problem is not with the teachers, it’s with the parents, in towns as well as communities. Parents aren’t ensuring their kid’s get a goods nights sleep and go to school everyday rested, and with a full belly. Parents don’t encourage their kids to do homework or read a book.

Kids are regularly exposed to violence, drugs and alcohol at home so how can anyone expect them to do well. As always, this does not apply to all aboriginal families, just a section, but those kids are the ones who will grow up dysfunctional and end up in prison."

So I ask all posters to this forum to addresses the "future" of Aboriginals within our community.

All Australians wish for all Indigenous Australians to secure an education, in order to prosper and growth, within their community.

Author, please respond.

SAINTS,

Very crudely, there are two diverging Indigenous populations in Australia - one more urban, oriented towards work and education - there are currently around fifty thousand Indigenous university graduates across Australia (mainly in the cities) - while the other popu8lation is welfare- and security-oriented, and somewhat averse to work and education.

Provided that the one (urban-oriented) population is not hindered by clumsy policy and incompetent organisations, it may have a bright future: it will certainly grow. The other may wither away with each generation.

I was talking to a young woman last week from up in the Flinders - she had just been beaten up by her son, and was desperate to get in touch with her mother for a share of royalties (from where, I have no idea: perhaps national park fees, or maybe mining), but her mobile was dead and she had no money to get it charged. It must be no fun at all to be on lifelong welfare.

25 years ago, I ran a series of Career Aspirations workshops and I think she may have been at one that we ran in Port Augusta, a bright girl in about Year 9: I think she'd wanted to be a kindergarten teacher.

Joe
