Ranier, you have the classic politically correct view that somehow white people aren't qualified to talk about Aboriginal issues. We may be unqualified to talk about them but we ARE qualified to bear responsibility for Aboriginal suffering and to pay the bills. It seems in your view we should simply shut up, feel guilty and pay up. This is brilliant!! I'm sure it will solve everything. I feel humbled and a true “light weight”. In future I'll try to use terms such as 'intersubjective discourse' to prove how intelligent I am.
The simple fact is, if Aboriginals could solve their own problems I'm sure they would.
Chainsmoker, I’m glad you blamed the white fella for putting the chip on Aka’s shoulder. God help her if she were actually responsible for herself.
I won’t reply to any more posts on this thread because I don’t think it’ll do any good. The ‘political class’ will continue to blame white people and black people will continue to die 20 years earlier. In future I’ll just stick to what all bush people do when Aboriginal health or education is discussed – shut up and let experts like Aka and FrankGol do the talking. FrankGol and Aka you may have the last word…
