My experiences with racists have shown me that they use challenging language which decent people feel needs correcting.
This is where the racists start their insidious tactics of twisting words !
Sounds familiar ?

The recently released proposed ‘revised national curriculum’ has the First Fleet and European settlement down as ‘genocide’, and is over-focused on indigenous history, which doesn’t affect 96% of the population - at the expense of Australia, our Christian heritage and the debt owed to Western civilisation. The significance of religion, especially Christianity, and the contribution of early Greece and Rome, as one of the basics of Western civilisation are ignored or merely superficially mentioned. Study of the ‘First Nation Peoples’ of Australia - with only 4% of the population still having tenuous links to those so-called nations, is compulsory study.

Instead of stressing the privilege and importance of Australia citizenship, twaddle about a “person’s sense of who they are, and their conception of their individuality and their association with a culture group or to a state or nation, a region of the world regardless of one’s citizenship status” is what the Marxists want to be taught.

This ultra-Left, divisive rubbish has the potential to change forever the attitudes of Australians, who have been welcoming, tolerant of multiculturalism and mass immigration, and in no way systemic racists.

I was going to vote yes at the referendum! But after having my ears assailed by semi-white activists claiming disputed sovereignty, not so sure.

If sovereignty is to be recognised then it belongs to the very first indigenous migrants who arrived at these shores! Not those that followed, many making pently spurious claims about the time their particular mob have been in occupation. And given various waves of ethenic migration, some have only been occupiers for as little as 12-14,000 years.

Many have stories that are in conflict and so many languages as to be the land of babble before the invasion by near dead and chained transportees! Emotive language is not necessarily supported by actual historical facts!

I had no control over what Cook and The English decided! And any of the repercussions that followed!

Some want the sit-down money to continue even as they sit on valuable mineral assets! Get real!

If there has to be truth-telling and reconciliation? Then let's have it all, warts and all!

And responsibility for all past atrocities laid at the feet of those personally responsible, rather than their descendants!

Not wearing a guilt trip for the deeds of others decades and centuries ago!

Tonight on one of the news programs, there was a girl, with a moderate, but not heavy suntan complexion, having a big wing.

Evidentially she has been selected for the Olympic team, but is threatening to, or has withdrawn. She has her knickers in a knot, because some promotional photo of a few team members in uniform, does not have enough dark skinned members in it.

I have no idea how many aboriginals or other dark skinned athletes have been selected, & whats more don't give a damn. If they have put in the effort, & made the team, I will admire them for the effort, & cheer them on, no matter how dark, or not, their sun tan.

I have no idea who this girl is, or care if she has some aboriginal or other heritage, but this little episode of histrionics certainly highlights just who are the racists in our population, & it is not the white folk who are those mostly financing the team & the athletes.

If the ding a lings get their way there will be big money for someone
running DNA analysis. Those that we refer to as aborigines were said
to be the 2nd arrivals. To dip into the Govt purse will need a DNA test.
It appears they displaced the first lot, the DNA remains of which were
mostly found in Tasmanian aborigines, to where it is suggested they retreated.
So now the woke phrase "First Nation" should perhaps be said to be "Second Nation".
Governor Philip and his mob would be "Third Nation" and as my
antecedent arrived in 1855 I am probably "Fourth Nation".
The wave of immigrants that arrived after 1945 are "Fifth Nation".

Now won't that make for a lot of fun in seeing who is "Four & a Half Nation".
Just because someones father was a 4th and their mother was a 5th.

To try to take it seriously, the whole thing is absurd. Look how
many white aborigines are inhabiting our TV screens.
I would suggest that in another 200 years there will be no black aborigines.
By that time the climate change will be in full blast and the
Ice Festivals on the Thames will be a yearly event again.

Sovereignty? The High Court has already found that indigenous people had NO sovereignty in the way that we understand today. But, activists now want something that they DID NOT HAVE in 1788!

There were 300 odd distinct tribal groups with their own oral traditions and laws spread across the continent. Most did not communicate with their immediate neighbours. Guides used by explorers could seldom communicate with the tribes though whose territory they passed.
