Dear Paul,

«This thread is not about "luvvies wanting Australia to adopt bits and pieces of aboriginal culture." as a racists like mhaze would say. No its about inclusion, appreciation and acceptance, something a bigoted racist cannot do. Seeing the ads, and reading the garbage put up by the forum haters, one can see why there is still a way to go before true equality is achieved in this country»

I apologize:
When I read the initial post by Josephus, I believed that he was inspired by something he saw on television to consider adopting the aboriginal culture. It was because I did not read his post all through to the end (due to an eye infection that made it hard for me to read, but that should not be an excuse).

I believed this thread to be a genuine discussion whether or not we ought to adopt the aboriginal culture (in full or in part). Had I understood that this was just part of some tired and endless sociopolitical conflict, which is of no interest to me, then I would never have commented on this thread.

Yuyutsu,
The sooner the Australian indigenous disassociate themselves from the likes of Paul1405 & yourself, the sooner they'll get to where they should already be !

AND have the affairs of the "concrete jungle bunnies" as you like to call people with aboriginal blood, run by a racists like YOU!

Paul whined "maze your total negativity towards aboriginal people in your pointing out post shows you to be a racists."

So pointing out that your swooning over all things aboriginal is based on fantasy is racist?

Poor ol' Paul can't actually find anything I've said that's racist but demands that we all stop looking at their society with an ear to the truth.

And as usual poor ol' Paul has nothing to support his evidence-free claims and so reverts to ad hominins.

Reading people's posts on this forum - there seems to be a
misunderstanding of what some think Indigenous people
want. Perhaps a bit more research would help before
posting? Just a thought.

maze, I can admit aboriginal people do plenty wrong, like all societies, that's understandable. What you do is stereotype all as doing the wrong thing, you can't see anything positive. That makes you a racists.

There are those who say it's a cultural thing for aboriginal men to bash women. There are those that do that, too many in fact, but its not culture its bad behavior. When its said the same thing happens too often in white society, according to some its not cultural at all but bad behavior. You want aboriginals in a bad light, so its cultural, but to put white people in a good light, its bad behavior.
