call people with aboriginal blood
Paul1405,
What is Aboriginal blood ? Concrete jungle bunnies are Activist indoctrinated people milling among high rise flats, no matter what their complexion although most of the really light coloured ones try to call themselves Aboriginal.
They haven't been around 60,000 years !

cont'd ...

Meanwhile white hunters shot the Aboriginal hunting
dogs and the kangaroos that were a staple food for
the locals - kangaroos were a threat to the white
invaders because they competed with cattle for
grass and water, and were also symbolic of
natural grace and beauty, two things that the British
Empire had vowed to wipe off the face of the earth.

With their traditional food sources running short, the
Aboriginal communities came up with the eminently practical
idea of grabing a bit of British beef for themselves.

This seemed only fair since it was the cattle that had
decimated their society, but the whites, operating on
the tried and tested imperial principle of -
"when in doubt, shoot everyone," did not take kindly to the
people whose land they had stolen trying to stay alive.

And so the Gurindji found themselves forced to move to
the cattle stations and work as stockmen and servants, for
meagre rations.

Besides the almost heroically unjust pay grades,
Gurindji employees at Wave Hill were living in corrugated
iron humpies with no lighting, plumbimg, furniture or floors -
literally no floors.

"We were treated just like dogs. We were lucky to get
paid the 50 quid a month we were due, and we lived in tin
humpies you had to crawl in and out on your knees.
There was no running water. The food was bad - just flour,
tea, sugar and bits of beef like the head or feet of a bullock.
The Vesteys mob were bad men. They didn't care about
blackfellas...

That Vesteys didn't care about blackfellas certainly seemed
to be the case, although Vesteys would probably defend
themselves by pointing out that not caring about blackfellas
was a constitutional requirement of the time - along with not
caring about Asians, women, etc ...

There's much more detail in Ben Pobjie's book -
"Aussie Aussie Aussie."

It's a book that any proud Australian seeking to learn more
about the national heroes that make our own lives seem so
insignificant. (smile).

Dear Josephus,

Up to your usual nastiness I see. Oh well.

And you are quoting Dawson to boot.

Well here is another of his quotes.

"In recording my admiration of the general character of the aborigines, no attempt is made to palliate what may appear to us to be objectionable customs common to savages in nearly every part of the globe ; but it may be truly said of them, that, with the exception of the low estimate they naturally place on life, their moral character and modesty—all things considered—compare favourably with those of the most highly cultivated communities of Europe. People seeing only the miserable remnants to be met with about the white man’s grog-shop may be inclined to doubt this; but if these doubters were to be brought into close communication with the aborigines away from the means of intoxication and were to listen to their guileless conversation, their humour and wit, and their expressions of honour and affection for one another, those who are disposed to look upon them as scarcely human would be compelled to admit that in general intelligence, common sense, integrity, and the absence of anything repulsive in their conduct, they are at least equal, if not superior, to the general run of white men."

How does that fit your narrative?

I thought that we were discussing the aboriginal culture, not the aboriginal people - I seem to be mistaken so bye, everyone.

run by a racists..
Paul1405,
People such as yourself wouldn't even exist if weren't for those 'racists' as you like to call the folk that feed you !

Thanks Steele, well Josephus you claim not to be a racists yet at every opportunity your quote material that denigrates aboriginal people. A claimed Christian, but you have no Christian values at all.

Indy, you might be an Old Fart, but even I don't believe you're 60,000 years old. Back with the 'concrete jungle bunny' stuff. Now what are they; "Activist indoctrinated people milling among high rise flats, no matter what their complexion although most of the really light coloured ones try to call themselves Aboriginal. They haven't been around 60,000 years !". Hummmm, interesting concept, what is the significance of the high rise flats? Is that for jumping off when they don't get their way. So your idea of an aboriginal is they have to look like Truganini, and be 60,000 years old.

What you should do is go to Bunnings and pick up the Dulux colour chart. Go down to those high rise flats and do some colour comparisons on those Activist milling around; "Fella you not 'Midnight' you a lighter shade of 'Mission Brown'.. on ya way, you, you, ACTIVIST!"
