Larissa Behrendt Stop this Intervention - Indigenous Law Professor & Author Talks Sanity

[gunailad]

The problems aboriginals face are because of attitudes like logicbeatslies, still running around claiming theroys as realitys, aboriginals were modern humans while the likes of logicbeatslies was still eating raw meat and treating animals like wifes as sub humans do, I love the fact we were the first, first explorers, first astronomer, first sailors, first to have modern burials and cremations, white people owe us big time for showing the white how its done, englands legacy is discusting like u

[MrDaveLogan]

I'm an Aboriginal man living in the city....raising children...paying off a mortgage...dealing with the rising cost of living. I wish I had Bess Price's money. She's doing well for herself. A Walpiri woman bignoting herself on Arrernte land. Her and her white husband teaching cross cultural training to ignorant Federal intervention bureaucrats. Being paid by proxy to support the intervention. If Bess Price had any conviction, she'd go back to Yuendumu and shout her support for the intervention.

[Crystalgirlist]

A strong young Aboriginal woman. This generation will put land rights back on the agenda. [-0-]

[emuwren48]

Fun to watch. Almost as entertaining as watching that man and that horse in Deadwood!

[240kankan]

some Australians told me they were inferior to them.what i see here in this vedio is that they are just like us.what they are lack of is education,they are just smart like us if they are educated.take a look at this woman. educated aboriginal people are just like us,being able to reason fairly well .they are human-being like us.Australians'attitude towards them should be adjusted.im not qualified to talk much on this issue since im an outsider.hopefully,they could handle it in near future

[tdenterprise]

No worries. Lets just leave the NT like it was before. Don't worry about the children getting raped and abused. It's no big deal. It's all the white mans fault.

Fucken idiots.

[burgertron99]

@tdenterprise

Dear Enterprise

I agree that the issue of the Child abuse and the like that occurred before the intervention is huge and needs to stop.

However I ask you this question do you really feel that the intervention strategies will stop Child abuse.

I once worked for DOCS or the child agency that is there to stop children getting abused and had young people in alternate care arrangements. And guess what they still got abused in the care facilities that were put there to save children.

[kinabalu1955]

@tdenterprise - the thought that there were children being raped and abused is a terrible one. But what was the extent of the problem, and what was the best way to tackle it.

The sensational claims of rampant pedophillia and child sexual abuse that spurred the NT intervention have not been borne out. There have been no paedophilia rings uncovered, and there haven't even been any child sexual abuse prosecutions as a result of the intervention. Seems the "intervention" was founded on lies!

[MrDaveLogan]

@tdenterprise You won

[pax4ol]

I dont know Larissa personally, and I dont have to be an Indegenous to admire her so much. She's so dynamic, inspirational and a powerhouse to Indigenous and women at large. Such intellectual and powerful speach, doesn't have to be long, the message was clear and effectively delivered. Thanks to JuiceMedia..more power!

[mixmatt]

Amazing delivery and a superb speaker.

Thanks Juice. Democracy has become a business plan, with a bottom line for every human activity, every dream, every decency, and every hope. The main parliamentary parties are now devoted to the same economic policies — socialism for the rich, capitalism for the poor. The Aboriginal flag like the people where born from that land in which it represents.

It must remind the Aboriginal people everyday that they are one with this very special land. Fight on

[frogmatt3]

The UN is just one angle, and a limited one at best. Lets not sit on our hand just because they are making comment - real change can only come from the people, from within the country. It is vital we educate ourselves, create opportunity to dispel racism wherever we can, and take some responsibility for the direction of our "public servants". No more waiting.

[ddchalmers]

The NT Intervention was the Howard regime's last 'children overboard' scam to sway white voters B4 the last election. It failed to get them re-elected but it is an enduring scandal that the Rudd Labor govt endorsed it, continued it + propagated its racist agenda + despite their so-hypocritical 'apology' in the white mans' parliament in Canberra. But the rational of the Intervention was to finger-point so as to deflect attention from the very real abuse issues in mainstream urban Australia, uhh.

[ddchalmers]

See Wesley Mission report "Beyond adversity: giving kids a chance to shine" - A case of child abuse is reported to Australian authorities almost every 30 minutes ...research shows... the numbers of notifications have almost doubled over the past five years... (similar in Britain)

But re the Intervention + suspension of the Racial Discrimination Act, the UN is now formally criticizing Australian govts. See "NT 'intervention' IS discriminatory: UN Raporteur...." on YT..... /watch?v=qO-rt8UVerM

[frogmatt3]

Your Fathers non acceptance is just a reflection of his own inability to accept who he is. You are your own person, and success in your goals is not important. It is your conduct whilst pursuing your goals, and the wisdom to recognise your own personal aspirations in relation to others. Sometimes it is prudent to simply accept that one cannot know everything, and that those most affected are often the best placed to assess and implement change for the benefit of the whole community. Peace.

[frogmatt3]

Hahahaha - at least you have a sense of humour. My name is Matt Elliott and frogmatt is an old nickname. How about you? You Identify yourself as if you have a logic that beats the lies - yet you are so poorly informed.Uninformed information is by inference misinformation, which is only an inch from a lie. I pretend nothing,

[frogmatt3]

Hey LOGIC - man of such knowledge - Read "When God Was a Woman" by Merlin Stone and learn about what our ancient white ancestors did. Or do you not have the b*lls to really use that LOGIC word you so freely throw around. Try learning something new mate.

[Logicbeatslies]

Stop trying to pretend you a frog.

[Bethsheeba7]

Brilliant video. To not have ever known part of your family because of white people's intervention is a pain that never goes.

A lot of white Australians don't want aboriginal people to have equal rights because they believe all the myths and most are racist. Australia is a racist country.

[RosettaH1]

OMG.. You are so right sis.. I felt every word You said.. Listening to a Strong Sista like yourself makes me so proud of who I am..

[tanyasbigbrowneyes]

you should have been in comedy Logic...

[Logicbeatslies]

Oh it gets worse.

Do you think you know what the aboriginal linage is?

[tanyasbigbrowneyes]

why dont you share it with us all?

[Logicbeatslies]

Are your ancestors kin to "mungo man", or did they arrive later?

Are the more recent arrivals directly related to African "bushmen", as some experts attest, or is the recently claimed Indian link more accurate? (add Melanesian)

How old is aboriginal culture? Is aboriginal presence in Australia as long as say, the Berbers in North Africa?

Most importantly does aboriginal claims of inalienable rights to the land we were all born in, correlate with all indigenous people including white people?

[tanyasbigbrowneyes]

Oh you LINEAGE

[Logicbeatslies]

Thank you *lineage*

[tanyasbigbrowneyes]

and what lies pray tell?Logic.....

[Logicbeatslies]

Please comment under my comments if you want a response. I didn't know you made this question.

Some common lies:

Rape, genocide, slavery, inalienable rights to property regardless of treaties, absence of aboriginal migration and earlier assimilation, noble savage idioms, white devils, Illuminati, lol, cultural genocide, victimization, Nazi oppression et al.

Historical revisionism at it's best :-)

Enjoy.

[tanyasbigbrowneyes]

LOL this is my world and I dont care if you respond or not! I will comment where, how and when I want......thanks

[Logicbeatslies]

Fine, but if you address a question at me, don't expect an answer when you don't put the comment where I will find it.

Ame I mistaken?

[tanyasbigbrowneyes]

it is better to ask some of the question than know all the answers.

James Thurber

[tanyasbigbrowneyes]

why is it that those who have something to say cant say it, while those who have nothing to say keep saying it?

[tanyasbigbrowneyes]

a young childs mind is open to everything...wether you know it or not...how do you think each person grows with a belief system/culture? thats the first true thing you've said "and while I don't have all the facts "...you dont...so until you do ...you should refrain from "adding yr two cents" dont you think

[tanyasbigbrowneyes]

and I might add also...that there are all kinds of education....not all of lifes lessons are followed by a degree or peice of paper....my people could teach you quite alot little man. Things that you learn by way of spirit and living with and on the land...our Mother. You may be book read but you are not necaserilly life smart!

[Logicbeatslies]

Teach away. Nobody will try and stop you. It is what we want.

[tanyasbigbrowneyes]

every ones reality is different. thejuicemedia are allowing the reality of life here in Australia, for us Indigenous people, to be put out there for the world to see. What it is to be aboriginal in our homeland! Saddly it is you who is misguided...and you make me apprehensive to what it is, that you think you Know. which is obviously what you have been brainwashed to believe...you and others like you are not "the great white hope"

[Logicbeatslies]

No one can brainwash me and while I don't have all the facts I know a few things and I am more than happy to offer my two cents.

Progress will never happen when you are at odds with rational people.

[chichizus]

You are so right, LoBeLi. In order to do that, one must first possess a brain.

[Logicbeatslies]

If I think I am the 'great white hope' then isn't that a positive thing - that I want to offer hope?

Do you have a better idea?, something that is not self serving and skewered to ignore unwanted perspectives.

It isn't that I don't care for your suffering. You don't even recognize that I as a white person may suffer. We all suffer, but because I am a white devil I am not treated as a human being who may have something to offer.

This is how it is for us while you rearrange your history.

[Flatjet]

Its the old Eugenics programs of the NWO,,look on my featured video!!

(The same thing happens in Canada,12 parts)

[kibinski]

Brave. Such Australians as Logicbeatslies will persecute you and these people. Honestly speaking, Australia is one of the most racist countries in the world.

[Logicbeatslies]

Honestly speaking you have no idea what you are talking about and I am just trying impart some realism on your misguided apprehensions.

If I wanted to hurt aboriginals I'd go along with their rhetoric because that is the worst things I could do for them.

[tanyasbigbrowneyes]

Logic...I have told you before when you use that "realism" angle....your reality as a white male is not the reality of a person of colour....

[Logicbeatslies]

I am talking about outright lies.

[TaxTeaParty]

You're very brave!

I support you.

Bless you for what you're doing!

- Reid

[tanyasbigbrowneyes]

Logic!...the purpose of removing Aboriginal children was to breed the blackness out of us...and to "civilize us" stop the dribbling. Thanks for nothing.

[Logicbeatslies]

That is just not true, but to think such a thing must cause pain.

You attack white people because it is easy and because of proximity, but you know better. Regardless the real enemy is yourself.

Whilst not being angles white people have never been your enemy. You just can't see that yet.

In your heart you know I am right and you know that are pushing the system to see what you can get.

In the end you will join the ranks of gentle people who have the wherewithal to engage in mature dialogue.

[Logicbeatslies]

Hopefully the intervention will stop the cycle of abuse and empower aboriginals to be a little more proud and perhaps learn to accept personal responsibility for some of the awful situations that they cause for themselves.

[drnorris56]

i support your cause

[askalice50]

The offspring of the stolen generation are articulate and educated. The racist (yes, I said racist) government will soon find that these people won't have the wool pulled over their eyes any longer. And they have more support than the racist government realises.

[Logicbeatslies]

The purpose of the stolen generation was to educate the children, so what you say actually indemnifies the program and suggests it was a successful policy.

Thank you.

If they take the wool from their eyes they might decide to thank us, no?

[TheThirdGerman]

What a bunch of bullshit !

How would you feel if someone that "claimed" to be smarter than you came to your home and took your children to "educate" them ?

Having read your comment I suppose you'd thank them ?

Over thousands of years of culture , knowlegde and pride destroyed because of ignorant (white) people like yourself.

And the same happened in North - and South America , and many other parts of this world.

[Logicbeatslies]

The same happened to everyone over the past 10,000 years. You are merely going through growing pains.

The enemy is yourselves, but you won't understand that for a long while.

[TheThirdGerman]

By the way , I'm white myself.

Just in case you thought I was black and giving out hate speeches on white people.

[Logicbeatslies]

It is one thing to have sympathy, but it is another to lose your sense of realism, because only facts should be admitted and you have to weigh things up with more than just emotionally driven knee jerk reactions.

What I see is that aboriginals would not have any kind of education if it wasn't for the stolen generation and even the description 'stolen' is out of hand and not conducive of mutual benefits.

You will forever be flogging a dead horse when you ignore the real issues at hand.

[TheThirdGerman]

Now since only facts should be asmitted , tell me , what are the facts ?

And I also want to ask you a simple question :

-What is your understanding of the word "education" ?

[Logicbeatslies]

Just argue with what I posted.

I was clear enough.

[TheThirdGerman]

I was argueing with what you posted by asking those two questions.

Unfortunately , you couldn't answer them. Neither could I find the answer in one of the comments you posted. So you were obviously not clear enough.

I am also getting the feeling that you are trying to evade my questions so I will leave you alone.

Have a nice day , Good Sir.

[Logicbeatslies]

Well I refuted your position; suggesting you are taking an emotional perspective rather than realistic and you haven't moved from there, so good day to you too.

[frogmatt3]

I read a book once called "how to lie with statistics". It showed how it was possible to present a desirable outcome by simply placing the data in a suggestive way. There is a lot of aggression in your posts LOGIC, I wonder what you fear so much?

[Logicbeatslies]

I fear failure. I feel my father doesn't accept me when I don't reach my goals.

How is that?

[buxton59]

@askalice50 - true that - give them time, means & the determination & they will succeed - & the world will know the truth.

[Sleepingsun4]

Strong woman - strong voice on behalf of the people!! Much respect. Thank you for posting.

[Beardedyoungman]

Gentle tears of peace, or maybe sweat from politicians..

Sound words to rebuild your breathing space
