loudmouth you say "It's surprising how many racist turds there are around."

If you mean me, I advise, I would be the "least" racist person one could meet, my agenda is the fostering of Education for all children, no matter what colour, race or religion in order for said child to achieve their ultimate "dream" in life.

I have been researching our Indigenous issues since end of World War 2 onwards.

So what has changed over various governments in relation to education? - nothing much.

Oh - yes we have "words" by both Governments of the day.

When one raises issues of culture, abuse, education (or lack of) - in order for all children of Aboriginal birth to be given an education, love, respect, and family values we are shut down, or deemed "racist"..... such a cliched response, without addressing any issue/s.

So my question being - are Aboriginal children from year 1 being trained at the same level as Australian Children.

Obviously not - please refer to Big Nanna's previous comment, as to older children and to level of education.

So my obvious question being - why not?

And my further question being - is the Aboriginal School System of education on a different level to Aussie School System?

And if so - why?

I have been asked by previous posters that I ask so many questions.

My response being Australia is asking questions as to what is happening within the Education system for Indigenous Australians.

I believe my questions are not "racist" - our Indigenous Australians deserve the same the same education as provided by all schools, in order to foster achievement, well being and skills for their future.

SAINTS,

No, your questions are not racist. But jut a little uninformed and misguided: you have to disaggregate the data - Big Nanna is familiar with people in the north, on remote communities and in remote towns. I don't know much about any of that at all, but only about southern cities and towns - i.e. people with very different histories.

The data on Indigenous university participation relates very much to 'southern' people , the half or more of the population living in the cities and large towns, while your questions deal mainly with the population that Big Nanna is familiar with.

i.e. you're dealing very much with 'the Gap'. The educational facilities that you are calling for are very likely to be already there. So the question is: why aren't they being used ?

I suppose the easy answer is: the welfare system in remote areas. People don't have to look for work. So they can live their entire lives on welfare. So what do their kids need any education at all for ? They're going to follow their parents into a life on welfare.

I think that's dreadful, but I'm just a prejudiced whitefella.

Big Nanna - would you care to respond?

We - as Australians want you to respond - please guide us.

I note also that in responding to the author of "I feel tired", I personally have not received any other OLO news since 22 June - seriously?

But hey - this may be because of my system or for another cause?

However, we continue to watch.

The author states - Because I am an Aboriginal woman, and my people are hurting.

She then refers to the George Floyd's murder - which we all abhor via any police officer.

So, my question being how is this United States incident relative to Australia?

Could the author please respond.

SAINTS: Could the author please respond.

Authors rarely respond. Mostly they don't even know they are on here.

The other thing, on here. If you make a comment & you are on the wrong side of "Whatever" then you are going to be criticized as being; Racist A Rightwing buffoon or out such nasties by some of the contributors.

You are then supposed to back down & apologize, but even then it won't be good enough.

Can someone please explain why racists keep on bleating about racism ? If they don't want racism wouldn't it best to stop being racist & stop calling people who aren't racist, racist ?
