"Perhaps you should try watching the TV series -
"Horrible Histories.""

Well disagree without rancour didn't last long, did it?

"Aboriginal women have fought against
gendered violence perpetuated by white men since day one."

So, let me get this straight. It's racist to accuse aboriginal men of violence against their intimate partner, but okeydokey to assert white men do it.

If it wasn't for double standards.....

mhaze,

Disagreeing without rancor?
Not on this forum.

As for getting things straight?
Again - Very rare on this forum.

And as for double standards?
Coming from you - that is funny.

Dear mhaze,

You write: "So, let me get this straight. It's racist to accuse aboriginal men of violence against their intimate partner, but okeydokey to assert white men do it."

What a victimhood statement.

No, it is racist when you impugn it is purely a indigenous cultural thing when the evidence illustrated that it plagues remote, isolated, services deprived and socially disadvantaged communities whatever the stripe.

Foxy,
I understand onlt to well.
As I’ve stated before I had the privelege, in my teens, of living with truly tribal Aboriginal Australians. I lived the same life and was considered a man despite my age because as soon became appent I was circumcised so must have been initiated in my own tribe; I was the first white person most of the group had ever seen.
I hav also moved among urbanised Aboriginals and counted Burnham Burnam, Guboo Ted Thomas, his son Rocky, Harry Mumbulla and numerous others among my friends
I used to visit Mum Shirl with that great Irish uillean piper, the late Brendan Ackley when he’d play ror the kids and tell them stories.

All of them talked about the violence and what it was doing to them as a people and all recognised it as a cultural thing.
I also have numerous Aboriginal friends.among the NSW North Coast people and have been privileged to be invited to meetings on the Bora Ground at Evans Head and never have I heard an Aboriginal person blame poverty for the violence,many blame the grog and, incidently, the Bora Ground, afore mentioned, is an alcohol free zone, not by State mandate but by Tribal.

Foxy,
See “Quadrant on line” “The Mistreatment of Women in Aboriginal Society”, 15 Dec. 2021.

Read the historical quotes then come back and tell us that they are all wrong, biased and out to make money writing books.
Warning, some of the quotes are very explicit, read them at your own risk.
