immediately called me a "CONCRETE JUNGLE BUNNY",
Paul1405,
Yes, because you carry on like a bunny among the high rise flats ! So, concrete is now racist too ? It's you who said jungle bunny was racist in South Africa. Here it is a jovial term.
Just like Git & Dumbo etc. aren't racist. You however, are an anarchist to whom social & racial harmony & jovial name-calling is the worst that could happen to !

Trying to deflect once more Indy, you called me that name implying I was a grubby black fella from an urban environment. Besides of a past you, we have had one or two ardent racists on the Forum in the past, but to their credit they would at least admit they were racists, not you however.

Correct me if I am wrong, but I believe you immigrated to Australia as a white honky from South Africa. You are careful never to disclose your country of origin, something in your past you may be ashamed of.

implying I was a grubby black fella
Paul1405,
No implying, you're making things up as per your integrity-devoid usual. Many, many in fact far too many European heritage fall into the category of concrete jungle bunnies. It's that massive chip on your shoulder that's affecting your senses & never in a good sense.
You just can't help yourself but take comfort in that it's not your fault that you've been brainwashed from day 1.

individual,

You're not even trying to see the bigger picture.

Lowitja O"Donoghue sumed it up well:

"Unfortunately for many Aboriginal people, of course,
they've been in the situation of being herded on
government reserves. Their responsibility's been
assumed by Protectors of Aborigines - by government
officials and if they become part of the system, it's
always difficult to break out of it."

Our Indigenous people are 3% of the Australian population
and yet they are 25% - a quarter of those Australians
locked up in our prisons. And if they are juveniles, it
is worse. It is 50%. An Indigenous child is more likely
to be locked up in prison than they are to finish high
school.

Do try to see the bigger picture. Get rid of your tunnel vision
You're better than this.

The aboriginal welcome to country and recognition of elders past etc was an adaptation in the 1800's of the Roman Catholic Mass adopted by those on Catholic Mission stations. Aboriginals had no concept of an after life of elders and being able to speak to them as Catholics do of saints. The smoke of burning insence was thought to remove all bad thoughts from those present, There are over 250 aboriginal languages on this continent which meant they were not one big unified family, but rather isolated tribes that could conflict with each other even as the several thousand tribes in New Guinea and West Papua.

Josephus,

Before colonization there were more than 250 Aboriginal
languages with 800 dialects that existed in Australia.
Each language was specific to a particular place and
people. There were about 500 different Aboriginal people.

Sadly, many Aboriginal languages were lost because up until
the 1970s government policies barred and discouraged
Aboriginal people from speaking their languages. Members of
the "Stolen Generations" were just one such group. In many
cases children were barred from speaking their mother
tongue at school or in Christian missions.
