Steven when are you going to stop this Total Bull*^#@ !?!?
What about, So yes, it disturbed me to think that another dark skin person would stoop so low as to engage in racial vilification of a visiting full-blood. But then again if one looks at the history of the cast system in Australia it may not be surprising considering the more successful, influential, richer and fairer skin Aboriginal half- cast (were?) ARE KNOWN!! to turn their noses up at and to blatantly exploit and to denigrate the blacker, full-blood (Indigenous ) Aboriginals, or Myalls.
Think? Stephen, where do you live,on Mars? Are you feigning ignorance on this issue, or serious ?!?! Maby you never had time to, preface your comments?

ALB,
I don't like it but there may be a bit of an Aussi pecking order in Aboriginal Society.

Just where Stephan fits in I am not too sure but my guess is in the big city he may be up the ladder but in another situation in the bush
and out on the Corroboree Ground he could be well down.

Nothing really remarkable about this except that it is sometimes the very black and often older black historians and linguists that know the ancient history of Australia and are our link to it.

Unfortunately , while understandably trying to keep their society and culture intact they have pushed many white and other Aboriginal Australians outside their inner circles.

If we can have more Initiated Aboriginals educated in white society I believe that racism in all stratas of society will diminish as Tribal Aboriginal People give White and Coloured Australians more of their [and our future] culture, expand our knowledge and give us an appreciation of humankind in Australia.

But we ALL others have to earn their necessary respect for them to allow us in and that will not be easy .

So, what does a full blooded white australian look like?

Point being that this racist quantum formula is never applied to white people...why?
