Australian History from an Aboriginal perspective (Robbie Thorpe PART 4 of 5)

[SupermarketsRevil]

Australia has still got total control of people as they did the original convicts? How so?

Yeah..it was tragic, and pretty much genocide when the original settlers landed. What do you want to do about it now? I haven't killed any aboriginal people, but I have been abused by many of them.

Why do you portray all white people as all the same? Some of us aren't actually responsible for a handful of genocidal people way back when.

[birdhall31]

@SupermarketsRevil We know you specifically didn't do anything, just like I didn't pick cotton, but that white race has caused genocide on every continent.

[SupermarketsRevil]

@birdhall31 What white race? I didn't know there was a single 'white race'. Does that mean there is also a single black race? Generalising is easy, isn't it.

[SupermarketsRevil]

@birdhall31 Yes, every single white anglo saxon protestant brought small pox to other continents. Oh wait, Many of my ancestors are white anglo saxons; I dont recall any of them bringing smallpox or killing any indigenous folk. Maybe you should ease up no the reverse racism bro.

[birdhall31]

@SupermarketsRevil Ya'll love to run and make excuses knowing your ancestors fucked up civilizations all around the world lol.

[SupermarketsRevil]

@birdhall31 My ancestors defending Australia during both world wars, as well as defending allied nations from fascist control during WW2. My ancestors helped build Australia when it was a young nation; starting new towns and communities from scratch.

You claim to know my ancestral heritage, when in fact you know nothing of it.

Instead of making bigoted statements, how about discussing this issue with some mature and rational discourse.

[birdhall31]

@SupermarketsRevil You prove my point exactly. Why are ya'll even in Australia in the first place (defending it, rebuilding, creating towns)??? That wasn't ya'll land in the FIRST place, do you understand what I'm saying? There's no reason to even set foot on that land except to visit the Aborigine's customs and art. They didn't want ya'll help, they still don't like ya'll.

Plus how you going to say "[they] helped build Australia when it was a young nation"? What nation? They stole the land.

[SupermarketsRevil]

@birdhall31 So by that logic anyone who ever took land that was occupied by other humans has no right to be there. In that case we're all fucked. What are you doing in the US? That's Native American land. are you gonna gtfo so they have their land back? I think not. How about you stop trying to blame whitey for everything and actually do something constructive to work towards making your community a better one for everyone.

[birdhall31]

@SupermarketsRevil Lol you're right this is Native American land, but ya'll stole that too smh. My ancestors were brought here by force, I'm a stolen African to be quite honest. Where would I go though, back to my country??? That's the black man's big dilemma here in the US, we don't know what country in Africa we were taken from so we're stuck here. But on the real, your people did those Aborigines wrong. Most of them are totally wiped out, extinct, language lost forever.

[SupermarketsRevil]

@birdhall31 "My people"? So you expect me to share the blame for the actions of these people that have nothing to do with me? I'm no more in favour of genocide than you are, and my family and ancestors weren't involved in any of that shit.

What good does it do to blame all white people for crimes that a small group of people committed? Do I blame you for shit that some african that lived a couple of centuries ago did? Stop blaming me for something I had nothing to do with.

[birdhall31]

@SupermarketsRevil How you know your folks weren't involved??? They prolly were the main ones fucking shit up over there lol.

[SupermarketsRevil]

@birdhall31 Because I know my family history. You think the idea that my ancestors were involved in any of this is funny? This is consistent with you bitching about this for no other reason than because you want an excuse to hate whitey.

Stop crying and contribute something useful to society. Do you hear me bitching about every bad thing an african has ever done?

[birdhall31]

@SupermarketsRevil You don't know shit. You can't say anything bad about my people that would even come close to what ya'll have contributed to society.

Besides how you gonna tell me to contribute something to society? We already did over 400+ years of contributing to society and for what? So ya'll can steal our shit all over again smh.

[SupermarketsRevil]

@birdhall31 False dichotomy. There is no 'your people' and there is no 'my people'. People stand on their on individual merits. You don't get credit, or blame, for anything your ancestors did. All this generalising is blatant bigotry. You are doing the same thing that europeans did to african slaves back back in the times of slavery; that is, making blanket discriminatory generalisations against a particular ethnic group.

You're not doing a very good job of fighting for equality.

[SupermarketsRevil]

@birdhall31 When i said 'contribute to society', you seem to have misunderstood me. It appears you thought I was referring to africans/african-americans in general. This is not the case.  I was talking specifically about you. This anti-westerner hatred you're pushing is not helpful to the cause of an egalitarian and harmonious society.

[judytafe]

@SupermarketsRevil Yeah they gave the small pox blankets to our people to wipe them out, raped our woman and gave them diseases, stole our children to assimilate them masacred our people its all genocide you only get taught white man's history be good if you learnt what really happened to destroy and wipe out the ABORIGINALS our history.

[SupermarketsRevil]

@judytafe There were mass slaughters in many cases, yes. Genocide? Debatable. That was the way every empire worked back then. You get in the way, you get a bullet in the head, or some other grisly death. Is it sad and would I baww about it if I was an aborigine? Yeah, but it's done, so it's okay to remember it but dont forget about doing something useful today. None of my ancestors did that shit. Now you shold be looking for ways to help aborigines fit into modern society.
