Dear 'rectum'... have a look at how a seven year old see the world:

Meanwhile many aboriginal children are still being abused, women are being belted blue (pardon the racism) and crime rates among aboriginals is horrendously high. But congratulations Stephen you have made a political point and scored a bit of cash by appealing to quasi Government organizations with some sort of agenda.

I would suggest that it is not activism that we need but compassion and common sense. You need to see that you might have won this battle but unless real issues are addressed by aboriginal people you will never win the war.

Runner ,
You are dreaming and probably wishfull thinking if you think living conditions for Aboriginal people will improve dramaticlly without Black and White activism .

History shows us this .

Just look at the war on Slavery .

All the tut tuts and "common sense" in the world produced nothing .

Aboriginal People will have to address violence and other issues - one of which is the undertone of racism that is apparent and imbedded in the lines of some contributors to On Line Opinion.

I can remember ex RSL president Bruce Ruxton criticising Charles Perkins for having a "flash" house, while he was doing his best for his Aboriginal People with his activism.

Hardly call a negro american an aboriginal hey! I hope you didn't stay up all night looking for this clip!

So why not have kraft change the colour of vegimite or let's ban black paint, in fact, why not ban black as a colour all together hey!

You fools just have to much time on your hands. It's just a pitty that my tax dollars are funding the education for these fools so they can later shaft us.

The answer to the problems is simple. Take away the grog, make them work for a living like the rest, SORRY, most of us. Meanwhile I will just accept the fact that my son can be bashed by a group of them as they know there is nothing that can be done about it. The ploice are powerless when it comes to certain portions of the population.

Also, I thought the official appology was going to solve all the problems. So what went wrong hey?

You are right and I was being a bit hard on Stephen. The frustrating thing is that making a big deal over something that most aboriginals could not care less about does little for the cause of the people. I personally am pleased to see any person (black or white) to have a 'flash' house provided they have got it by legitimate means.

I object to the term 'redneck'. It is racially prejudicial. Let's have a court case about it and tie up more judicial and government time.
Instead of banning the terms (they are part of our history after all, like it or not) why not educate so that these terms ultimately die a natural death. After all how many people give their sons (or daughters) 'Biggles' books to read these days?
