  • The children's children I work and live with, and they are doing very well for themselves fully assimilated into Australian society.

    Don't have an idiotic opinion on this until you've lived and loved in this land among the bush and with the people, I'm a native, my ancestors don't go back thousands of years but they go back a couple hundred. I have grown up with Aboriginals and am friends with many still, The history happened but now we have the future to look towards as a united Australia.

  • there full of shit the whites did worse then the parents did. i was born in 1974 and i'm half white and even i hated the whites and i was not taken away you learn that as a child.

  • i am proud aussie

    and i shit on this day....as do 99.999% of aussies

    k rudd did this to get votes

    im not racist i just hate aboriginals as ive seen what they do

    so all you people that dont live in australia please dont comment on how we are so mean to aboriginals......you all have no idea

    walk past a grp of aboriginals in this country....no doubt they will curse, spit or try mug u...then u will learn

  • @FlightRiley scary

  • nice video, song name plz?

  • @linusheterlinus I wish I could tell you. Unfortunately it's one provided by the online editor I used to make this video and is no longer available, and I cannot remember it's name. It's a nice tune though. Sorry I can't help, if I recall I'll let you know. :)

  • israelites are being stepped on by whites all over the world, every land whites have stolen was from israelites of negro and indian decent, enslaved the people changed their names, culture, and murdered them for fun, if whites arent edomites devils then who is

  • @parkkbaby62 I agree that whites and colonialism have gone hand in hand for centuries, but lets not restrict this issue to one colour. Middle East and early African civilizations (Ethiopia for example) all had slaves, conquered lands and peoples of all colours. Unfortunately there is racism on all sides. Let's hope we finally get over it.

  • "national sorry day", hahaha, ye funny fuckers arent yous

  • @Superstrat1990, haha you aussies are weak as piss, crying at the slightest thing, no wonder aussie women are all over us americans, no real men in australia probably..... even the french and brits have more balls than you, lol

  • @TroublesFundraiser Careful what you say, big man. Firstly, America is sinking faster than the titanic and won't even be a super power by 2030. Secondly, Britain + France + Australia with our allies would humiliate America in a fight. But you would never fight Britain. You are our dumbass, low IQ bodyguards. We are a tiny island protected by a massive, stupid shield that we have created ourselves.

  • Its amazing how 90% of the ones who scream racism are as white as me or only a shade darker god that pisses me off

  • @Superstrat1990 You tell that arsemerican!!

  • YOU CAN LEAD A HORSE TO WATER (Billions of dollars in land titles/mining royalties, government intiatives, free education, free healthcare, free housing,, government loans where they only have to pay back 2%) BUT YOU CANT FORCE A HORSE TO DRINK (Billions of dollars yet they still choose to live off the welfare and live like cretins drinking piss all day) Stop blaming the white government yous are the richest minority group in the world second to the jews

  • @ValukaX Another faceless fool. Why is it you big talking, pro military, right wing racist nutters are always faceless? What are you scared of, eh? ;) Your time is up!

  • @sainter1 I doubt he was pro-military. Military are sent to protect or to protest. Taking children away as a policy meant to improve? (something) wasn't a military manoeuvre.

  • @ValukaX hey fuck face who was on that land first? sure was not the whites just like they didnt land in america first. why dont the white trash stop stealing lands from people and making them slave and you get off your fuckin ass and do your own shit.

  • @ValukaX Unbelievable. You are saying that what happened was fine. That your final word?

  • Well 3 years later, nothing has changed. Indigenous health, education, life expectancy and unemployment remains as high as ever. Sure, if you wanted to apologise, you've apologised. Now what? Typical left wingers, all idealism, no action. Same with the UN, why apply for a permanent seat on an organisation that does literally nothing. Now Bob Brown wants a "Global Parliament". Seems Orwell was right about everything apart from the date.....

  • @sovietkomrades Don't blame the left for the lack of progress. The alternative is what, conservative indifference? The problem of indigenous inequality is deep and universal. Of course it won't be fixed simply by government programs and good wishes, but at least the left is trying to make the public aware of their plight. If it was left to right wingers nothing would be done and no one would give a shit. I'm no fan of Bob Brown's Greens but "Global Parliament" is absurd. Thx for your comment.

  • worst genocide ever in all of history

    fancy a game of tennis?

  • Apparently airline pilots landing at Alice Springs have complained about the silver glare from thousands of empty wine bladders that litter the area around the 'Alice'.

  • ALL U PEOPLE DO IS THINK OF MONEY AND PROFITS AND NOT OF OTHER PEOPLE, CULTURES, AND HUMANITIES. YOU ARE GUILTY, YOU R SAVAGE , ARE U HUMAN BEINGS??????? PER HEAD PER YEAR? PER UR HEAD!!!

  • The government should apologise yes, but on this day I had aboriginal kids abuse me because I refused to say sorry. I refused to say sorry because my family came from Germany and migrated to Australia well after the atrocities that were committed. Nor did I ever take part in them. Why should I say sorry because my skin is white. Is that not racism. Why should I have to pay for cruel men I have no relation to. It was never my choice, nor was I alive at the time.

  • @DemonAMVs You are taking this too personally. the Apology wasn't about indivdualsneeding to say sorry, it was about regret for government legislation imposed on aboriginal families. Rudd said sorry for laws of the past that destroyed families and created a lost generation..

  • @sainter1 So why is it when some brat comes up to me demanding I say sorry to him because he has 0.01 percent aboriginal ancestry, when I tell him I am german and he can go fuck a long hard one before I grovel for something I never did I get abused and called racist.

  • @DemonAMVs Look, I understand your point, but "some brat" isn't everyone. Don't judge a whole people just on a small minority. How would you feel if all Germans were judged soley on a bunch of moronic neo nazis?The vast majority of aborigines accepted the apology in good grace. They wanted recognition that these things happened, just like our WW11 diggers wanting the Japanese govt to apologize for the atrocities they committed. It's about facing up to truth as a people so that we can move on.

  • @sainter1 I was not judging a whole people. I was questioning why I was forced to say sorry just because I was white. I have talked with an aborgininal guy working at the YWCA about such subjects and he agrees with me. In my town alot are aboriginal and even more are on goverment benefits. He agreed with me that we shouldn't be made to say sorry but to be telling them to get off there asses and work for a living like the rest of the world. He can work in our society why can't they.

  • @sainter1 When you say the second world war it is written with capital I's : WWII. Not 1's.

  • @DemonAMVs Just because he has 0.01 percent aboriginal doesn't make him not aboriginal. That is still part of his ancestry, and for you to try and deny him that part is wrong.

  • @ubergirliz1 For him to demand money and an apology for a crime that I never committed nor my family ever committed on the racist notion that my skin is white is wrong. I would gladly pay the people that actually suffered because of what my country did just out of kindness, but not some kid that doesn't even know the word suffering. My family is german and suffered racism after the war, do you see me demanding money? Do you see my grandparents demanding money and an apology?

  • Think I used the word why (did) once, along with other w words like WHAT (first letter in WTF) btw.

    Did I mention the colour white?

    I did use the word slaughter (as in murdering), but "entitled to", sorry cant find it :(

    If it was for the best of man and man's future I would've used it, but sadly not!

    Read and then post, types 10000 what?

    Things will never be the same, but the naive blue-eyed boy inside of me says :

    Why not at least try to change the future?

    They died? No kids,No hope

  • Maybe "sorry" is the saddest word of all or even the strongest word?

    All down to w questions, why, how, where, when a.s.o.

    Another good w-word is what. WHAT is the price of a country 150% the size of Europe? AUD 0?, just say the magic word "sorry", sorry, I dont get it!

    Kevin Rudd's "sorry" is not like blacks and americans, its like native americans to european invaders. Slaughter is not even close to reality, barbarians perhaps?

    Beginning or end?

    Hopefully a beginning!

  • @miroba48

    why exactly is it you think that the aboriginal people are entitled to an apology/reparations .etc from people who happen to be white?

    - Kevin Rudd's sorry statement didnt bring closure to anyone (the people involved died generations ago), all it served to do was vilify the notion of guilt by association.

  • dam first america then austrilla they also tried it in southafrica but it backfireing they tried it in ghana but we kicked m out proud to be ghanian

  • Last week while on vacation to Melbourne from the United States I was at a coffeehouse in downtown and I could overhear an Aussie group saying how "ugly" the "blacks" were which I know they were referring to the Aborigines of Australia. So now your Prime Minister of Aussieland not only needs to apologize for the sins of the past but also for the sins of today and for the future. So I asked my Aussie penpal "why?" and she reminded that her nation was founded by criminals.

  • abo's are the skid mark on the underpants of humankind

  • @YoungKupe

    You must be the underpants.

  • No apology is accepted and all recompenses will be returned upon your heads. The floods are just the beginning of sorrows for the heathens. The heathens have destroyed Africa, North America, Arabia and Europe and there is no man who can save them for what they have done in this Earth. God is not mocked and if you believe that you can claim him and disown his people, you are out of your arrogant minds. What you have done is no different that what was done to blacks in America.

  • @MrHumanComputer No apology accepted? An interesting statement from a "true believer" of God's love, mercy and FORGIVENESS. You have much to learn: you can start by questioning the existence of your god... just for starters. Secondly: it' won't do you or anyone any good holding race grudges - think about that my friend.

  • coons you just wreck our country

  • @takamine206..THEY SHOULD'VE BASHED YOUR PHUCKING SKULL WHILE THEY WERE AT IT....TAKE YOUR PALE ASS BACK TO EUROPE WHITEBOY

  • @bretcarr2001

    "THEY SHOULD'VE BASHED YOUR PHUCKING SKULL WHILE THEY WERE AT IT....TAKE YOUR PALE ASS BACK TO EUROPE WHITEBOY"

    yeh, im sure that would work out real well for you:

    - one in four mothers dieing during child birth

    - no clean drinking water

    - no understanding of medicine (antivenoms, understanding of disease .etc)

    modern agriculture allows a few percent of the population provide enough food for all of it, fueling a population growth rate nomadic tribes couldnt comprehend.

  • Not sorry. By the way, the kids were also 'half white'.

  • The Austrailian govn't issuing a formal apology is the first public step. However, it cannot erase the sins and effects of past generations who claim to hold fast to the Bible's teachings. In my humble opinion, a considerablle amount of funds need to be injected into organizations to instill pride and a sense of belonging to the Aboriginal peoples. To all the people who say 'it's not my fault, it was those who came before me' , we should continue polluting,since it began decades ago.

    cowards!

  • @kry1082 ... this has been tried over and over again with no success. pride does not come from having money, cars or houses thrown at you. it comes from assuming a personal and social responsibility and by working hard to better yourself, your family and your community.

  • NOTICE - To all those who leave stupid, hate-filled comments; to all trolls; to all those feigning to be indigenous; to all those who spend their time shit stirring, listen up! You are wasting your time, and looking stupid in the process. Worst of all the country you think you're defending in your ignorant moronic way you are making look like a cesspool of hatred. You are degrading our country. From this time on I will delete and block all those who leave inappropriate comments - no exceptions.

  • @sainter1 im not racist to aboriginals or any other culture.. But i dont understand why we have to say sorry for the solen generations, when we didnt steal the generations... our ansestors did.. and that was their mistake not mine.. so why do i say sorry?.. i did nothing wrong.. i know Europeans stole this land and that it was wrong, but i cant do anything about that as a person, it wasnt my generations choice for it to happen, so why should i say sorry for anything.?...

  • i feel what you sayin but don't ever say you CAN'T do anything...if everyone who witness trangression of the past said that there still wud be slaves. The English tried to wipe out a people it took decades to do so. It'll take longer to bring back the aboriginee to a mighty people once again. It has to start somewhere. I trust you understand what i am trying to explain. There is something called Karmic Sin it keeps expanding and intensifing until some good souls break the cycle.

    ONE LOVE!

  • @sainter1 .......maybe start with the comment from 001dangermouse.

  • Fuck you you white cunts. Its our land why dont you fuck off to England.

    If you keep giving us money for having kids we will breed you cunts out any way and we will take back for what is rightfully ours.

    Then we will be the ones with the guns.

    Your already to scared to look at us in the street.

  • @001dangermouse Mouse is right. Ever thought it might be time to grow up? I doubt it.

  • @001dangermouse Your living in a white mans world.LOOK AROUND,LOOK AT YOUSELF,THINK ABOUT IT...

  • @001dangermouse this is abit harsh. we already know its the aboriginals land. and its comments like yours that make me disgust. cause we try our hardest to say sorry. using the term "Fuck off to england" makes me sick, for i was born in australia. my ansestors are the ones who stole this land.. not me soo stop being corrupt when the australian government is just trying to help.

  • @001dangermouse .... i feel your plight even though i have never lived it. Who feels it knows it. Nuff strength , peace and love to all indigenous people of the earth.All Apache Indian, Amerindian, chinese and the so on.

    However, i do not wnat you to pretned as if nothing is wrong, the evidence is obvious.Fight for your rights, but at the same time consider"do not reward evil with evil" taken from His Imperial Majesty Haile Selassie of Ethiopia's speech after victory in the war with Evil Italy

  • @001dangermouse ...England have a whole heap of ineqiuties and evil deeds to pay for ...It's not only Austrailia...them same caucasians rob and rape the ancient empires of Africa, India and China. The creator of the universe is takin notes and will issue judgement by deeds!

    NUFF LOVE TO ALL ABORIGINEES

  • @001dangermouse - I bet you are not a "full blood" Aboriginal you disgraceful vile piece of shit. You sound like a typical low life dirty stinking loser "halfie" with a massive chip on your shoulder. You should crawl back up your mother's dirty stinking flyblown snatch. Hahahahaha. How do youy like them apples halfie ? You can respond, but I won't read your message you dirty spounge. Hahahaha.........

  • @001dangermouse if you done your home work your fuck't up generation abbos didn't even come from here it was the south asia

  • @001dangermouse...A WHITE BOY IS A WHITE BOY....THEM MUTHERPHUCKERS HAVE NO IDEA OF THE KARMA THEY'RE GOING TO REAP...WHITE PEOPLE ARE GENETICALLY RECESSIVE..THIS IS WHY THOSE MUTHERPHUCKERS ARE SO DESTRUCTIVE...EVERYWHERE THEM MUTHERPHUCKERS GO THEY DO NOTHING BUT PHUCK SHIT UP AND THEN THEY WANT TO APOLOGIZE AND WANT FORGIVENESS WITHOUT SERVING A PENALTY..LIKE WE'RE JUST GOING TO FORGET THE SHIT THEY DID...EVERYWHERE ON EARTH THEY'VE GONE THEY'VE DESTROYED..PAYBACK IS GONNA BE A BITCH

  • @bretcarr2001

    "AND THEN THEY WANT TO APOLOGIZE AND WANT FORGIVENESS WITHOUT SERVING A PENALTY"

    i assume by your statements you are aboriginal.

    the kind of atrocities the aboriginal people suffered is nothing new, it's happened throughout all of time, just look at the Spanish vs the Aztecs.

    when you lose a war you generally dont get anything back, the sorry is there, take it or leave it; you dont get anything else (well infact you actually do, there are programs to help you)

  • @ leejames, I am only so happy that it wasn't your parent or grandparents in that situation. You are truly fortunate and I hope you appreciate every stroke of luck you have had, cause if you don't it's all just a sad waste.

  • im sick of hearing people saying sorry for the actions of other people long ago in the past. i didnt take your kids so dont ask me to say sorry! one thing i will say is im sorry you abos are to pissed most of the time to hold a job, im sorry you dont want to work and want to get welfare to pay for grog instead of work for it, im sorry your children would rather sit in the bush under a tree and sniff glue instead of going to school. and most of all im sorry i wasted 2 mins writing this comment.

  • @leejames1982 I'm sorry you wasted 2 minutes of eveyone's time writing your comment. Perhaps one day you'll actually think about the substance of the apology instead of conveniently skimming the surface so you don't have to think too much about it. I'll simplify one little part for you: the apology wasn't about YOU or any other individual apologizing, it was past ignorant, corrosive, inhumane government legislation that was being apologized for. Think about that.

  • @leejames1982 I'm sorry you white racist cry like bitches when a person from another race is doing better then you, I'm sorry you white people spend most of your lifes in bubs bars and clubs then end up broke or living in council flats, I'm sorry that you white people go around fornicating and exploiting women, I;m sorry you white people go in to other peoples countries and try and rape them off their natural resources, I'm sorry that you white people are so shit at school, SO FUCK YOU

  • @sophie0000075 in answer to your question, 1. abos arent doing better than us they are just draining our government of money. 2. we live our life working and earning our keep and supporting our familys ourselfs. 3. exploiting women? at least our women are worth going to a strip club to see not ugly gins like yours. 4. more abos rape thier kids than whites. 5. at least we go to school.

  • @leejames1982 I understand you don't feel accessory for what the earlier generations did.

    But you know why some of them don't want to work, because the white man invented working in Australia ofcourse. Because of the frustration it's very easy to understand...why you don't show some respect 2 this people..I guess you are jealous because you are working your ass off like a slave.

  • @leejames1982 How can you call 1940's till 1962 long ago. He'll I'm only in my forties and I don't think it's that long ago that white, English "Australians" have laws aimed at removing the culture and breeding out the pure blood of the native Australian..... By the way I'm not Aboriginal, I'm just a black Jamaican surfing and learning a bit about the "recent" past before it gets conveniently wiped away.....

  • i do NOT say sorry i say FUCK YOU. you bloody animals destroyed stole and damaged our property

  • even now australia still covers up many crimes.

    australia was selling those aboriginal corpses to europe during the holocaust.

  • @Tatarstan1900 That is an absolute discrace, they aint worth shit

  • @gonefishin1977

    If you can't see any woth in a fellow human being, then get the hell off this planet.

  • The Labor government should have apologised.

    Many Aboriginals feel like victims from this constant desire for people to "make nice". This is not new, the likes of Bob Geldoff and others use this to make themselves feel good.

    The tragedy now that the government makes almost no attempt to save Aboriginal children from abuse anymore becuase somehow its a case of "stealing" rather than saving.

    Any other child in Oz still is lucky enough to have an agency that at least tries to protect them!

  • I sat in Parliament House's gallery and watched Prime Minister Kevin Rudd deliver the apology. I will never forget the indigenous people who wept and rocked with emotion as the long hoped for word "sorry'' was uttered. It was truely a moving experience and an important milestone for this country. It costs nothing to apologise but the dividend is immense. An acknowledgement of past wrongs promotes healing. We still have a way to go to close the gap. Some ask why apologise? I ask why not?

  • @ACTDanni Well said, Danni. I watched it live and was also moved - the spirit of Australia soared that day. Indeed it costs nothing to say sorry. It's a good feeling to know that for every hard hearted person there are many more open, generous ones such as yourself. Australia can do wonderful things if we can break free of irrational stereotypes and blind fears. The apology was a pointer to this. Cheers. :)

  • @ACTDanni all that does is admit that we did something wrong. us or kevin rudd didnt take thier kids, he pays them money every week to look after them, so why should he say sorry? he did nothing wrong. if anything they should have a 'thankyou kevin' day for paying them dole money every week. they need to stop livin in the past. life goes on about time they stop sooking and start worring about getting jobs.

  • @ACTDanni....SORRY DOESN'T CUT IT MUTHERPHUCKER....WHEN YOU MURDER THE PENALTY FOR YOU IS EITHER JAIL OR DEATH....JUSTICE ISN'T SERVED UNTIL THE CRIME HAS BEEN PUNISHED.

  • @ACTDanni....why you sat in parliment I was out working to pay for all of their hand outs - there is my sorry. and they also have a long way to close the gap to. it is not a one way fucking street.

  • @ACTDanni Yer we've apologised, weve given them billions of dollars, free houses, free education, just about everything for free and they're still kicking and screaming like brats, Dont say i dont know what I'm talking about cos I work in remote indigenous communities providing these free services that my taxes are getting wasted on cos they destroy it all in a week. You can lead a horse to water but you cant force the horse to drink

  • Becuase alot of white people thinks that white's were there first and dont believe that they stole anything tipical of white people read history bitch

  • We must not forget the major role played by the Catholics in the assimilation of not only aboriginals but all of the small islands around this region, Tahiti, New Zealand etc The only thing Whites should be guilty of is allowing the catholic church to exist for this long and letting governments get away with whatever they like. Rudd is catholic moron too, he should be apologising on behalf of them not us. The catholics should also apologise for all the children that they have molestered

  • @8888WOLF8888 ...an by that account so should all of the sick parents, uncles and aunties, neighbours, family friends and aboriginals say sorry for all of the children they have molestered. and why don't you take a look at the the scores of good acts that the catholics have accomplished.

  • the aboriginals should preserve their own language and culture just like the indiginous europeans should.

  • No point sayin' sorry, I personally didn't do a thing. They should say sorry for breaking into our houses, rootin their kids, stealing our hard-earn cars and basically being anti social drunk cunts. Sure they're not all bad, but a bloody high percentage is! Admittedly I do feel sorry for the very few normal ones out there, but not enough to say sorry to the magority of other car, house and kid rootin drnuk scum out there!

  • Can someone please tell me why we as a nation should say sorry to the aboriginal people for wrongs that were done many years ago. As the aboriginal people have been on this land for 40 thousend years and did nothing to develop it, not one temple,pyromid,not even a nice road did they think another culture wouldnt come and take over.

  • @rodmiller27 Hi, thx for your comment. Because #1 they owned it and we took it off them. #2/ We also took their children from them #3 As a way of extending the hand of friendship and reconciliation from one people (Modern Australia) to another the apology was worth it. It has done nothing but good as far as I can see.

    I'd like to ask you something: do you think the Japanese as a nation should apologize to Australia for the atrocities commited by them on our soldiers during World War 2?

  • @sainter1

    Mate your comments are certianly nice ones but possibly you miss the point.

    The Japs need not apologise for what was done during WW2 (My grandfather fought them in PNG), as most of those involved are dead!

    He used to say that why dig up the past it does not change the present.

    This constant need to "make nice" is only making Aboriginals feel like victims!

    I worked in the Aboriginal Industry for many years and have seen this first hand.

    At some point you must move on.

  • @Inconvenientruths Thx for your comments. I understand what you're saying and there is a degree of truth to your points but you have to remember that the aborigines are already victims - Terra Nullius saw to that - so weneed to at the very least acknowledge what they ask to be acknowledged - it's not a big ask.

    When we speak of moving on there needs to be some sort of finality to move on from. The apology was an attempt to do just that. Perhaps moving foward is a better way of putting it.

  • @Inconvenientruths ...there is a time to move on indeed. Life and human nature is about progress! however, take into consideration that this land was STOLEN not shared. From this stolen land, profits were reaped. some of this money should be spent in improving the life of the aboriginees who are alive now. We owe it to their forefathers. And moving on without tangible eviences of commitments to right the wrongs instill poor values in our children; we can think of good but not do good.

  • @kry1082 ...perhaps you should look into how much money is thrown at the aboriginals per head per year. they have to want to improve their life as well - it is not a one way fucking street

  • @tgmcrad I'll say it again you can lead a horse to water but you cant force a horse to drink, I work in aboriginal communities all the time and it sickens me to see how they destroy all the services we provide for them with our hard earned tax dollars, free houses, free education, billions in mining royalities and land entitlements and they still live like monkeys, I just cant understand it... they would have to be the richest minority group second to the jews?

  • @ValukaX If you had half a brain you would know the Australian Government declared itself the benefactor of all this money which the aboriginal people may see drips and drabs of coz no sooner does the Government release a small amount of it the vultures swarm on it before it hits the ground. Get an education moron

    To date I think 9 Trillion dollars is unaccounted for!

  • This speech, is first and formost a symbolic point in the direction of equality. It should not just be, however, a symbol of unity and equality between Indigenous and Non-indigenous Australians.

    It should also serve as a reminder that regardless of race, gender, sexuality, upbringing, religion and income, we are all human, and we all long to be respected and happy.

    We are all human, therefore we are all equal.

  • Dear Aboriginal. Absolutely shocking past: to push aside and then attempt to swallow up a whole culture whilst introducing disease, drug and alcohol, way of life and language ect. You have been spat back out and now over time you are left drowning? To fend for yourself and start a fresh. What life would you choose now or is this past too dark to see any bright future?! What can be done NOW to HELP YOU regain control?! What do you want, when money and weekly income is not the ultimate?

  • Not trying to start a racial arguement but it seems like white people stole everybody's culture and treated the people they stole it from like shit. America is constantly apologizing to Native Americans and African Americans. Same is happening in Australia too? White people ruin the Mayan and Aztec cultures. I mean DAYUM!! Yall ancestors were mean as hell!

  • if white man never came to australia the japanese would have invaded australia in WWII. I know there were quite a few indigionous soldiers fighting along side their brothers but still, if it werent for white man Australia could have been Japanese Land. I dont believe we should applologize for something that 3 or 4 generations ago caused. I know it would have been difficult for aboriginal Australians, but its just my oppinion, thanks

  • australia is a racist country

  • Australia is no more racist than many countries, in fact all the nations' people are racist in some way, it's just a matter of degrees.

    I'm proud that we are trying to do something about it but it's a big job that will take time.

  • @sainter1 no WHITE PEOPLE ARE RACIST...they start everything..i can't even begin to start to explain all the the bullshit that they do, have done etc.

  • @dehjavoo So fucking True

  • @earlsutton

    Every country is racist, or at some stage was.

  • @earlsutton The entire World is a racist...

  • @earlsutton

    Agreed! 

  • i love they dark skin and that what some white people dont like if they did have white skin and look diffrent white people would have call them white but how they have dark skin they hate them

  • thats ridiculous

  • Yes very true but words can help get things started, Let's hope so.

  • I found this vid very moving. the comment was perfectly reasoned and valid and I for one admire that. I would certainly also have been proud to be an Australian and to have achieved this.

  • Thx, mate. It's a long road ahead for the aborigines to find true justice and equality in Australia but the apology is a start. It was mostly symbolic but symbols are powerful things.

    Cheers

  • Hi Katrina. The comment at 1.18 is rhetorica.l I was thinking aloud, musing about how today's generation doesn't consider itself responsible. Technically that may be correct but as a collective we own our past, present and future, thus we all share in the burdens as well as the benefits of Oz.

    Some of the comments in the thread are plain ignorant, some are phoney and some are from genuine neo nazi types. All up it shows how much work we have to do in waking people up.

    Thx. - Wayne :)

  • @sainter1

    How are we at all to blame for what our ancestors did? That is a ridiculous way to look at the world and would lead to constant problems.

    So as i have english ancestor's i suppose im to blame for India ect as well? Maybe going back further i have roman or something in me too should i be blamed for what they did 3000 years ago and apoligise for that too?

  • i found this a beautiful video,very meaningful..but the comments on here are discusting, i did'nt understand at 1:18 how could you say it was'nt our fault it was the other generations, well the other generations are apart of us- We are all Australians and I feel sick knowing that our own people treated the aborigines this way, I think the "Sorry Day" was something that needed to be done. who sings the song in the vid by the way? thanks,

  • I'm from the UK and having read these comments can't believe how many ignorant racist people go on here they really need to get an education or maybe just put on an island and blown up,, can't be doing with idiots like that!

  • I know, it's hard to believe how ignorant these people are in this day and age. I get the feeling they are looking for an easy target as a substitute whipping boy for their own miserable lives. Thx for your comment, mate, much appreciated.

  • Define, with your own words, what you mean by "ignroant"?? You´ll get a cookie.

  • never run over an aboriginals bike because it might be yours

  • i work with a nigger and hes into the government for everything he can get his coon hands on hes rentin a house at $350.00 but after he cries aww im black to the government he only pays $12 per week in rent and goes braggin about it to everyone with his centrelink assistance then hes dumb enough to brag on how he enjoys pissin up all his money against the wall.....typical fuckin nigger,,bludge of us white folk and piss it all away..only good niggers a dead nigger

  • Nice try in a cheesy kind of way but your performance is lacking. One look at your profile tells me you're all act. Son, grow up and get a life.

  • Sounds great behind a computer screen, but your not man enough to ever say it to A niggers face, I think you are smart enough to know you'll get your teeth knocked the fuck out. You Fucking low life Racist.

  • Dude your a joke, a fucking T shirt. And everyone thinks your Funny. I have a lot of Aboriginal friends , the true native Australian people, the very first people to arrive there 35,000 t0 65,000 years ago, you would know that if you would learn to read and wasn't so ignorant and stupid.

    I hope one of my Aboriginal friends kicks your ass.

  • "I have a lot of Aboriginal friends"

    LOL, sure, how did they find you in your basement?

  • AHHAHAHAHHAHAHA agreed brother

  • fuck you whitey

  • HAHAHAHHAHAHAHA oh man what a boong thing to say, im not racist just funny seeing dumb fucks like you getting worked up, i have black friends.

  • Meaning what? They are inferior? Don't talk garbage, son. Learn a little before you open your mouth.

  • racist bastard, the indigenous australian aboriginals had a better way of life before we came and poisoned their land and minds and stole their children

  • the white pig also raped their kids whilst the abroiginal people looked, now revenge is on their filthy ass with the rise of INDIA CHINA RUSSIA JAPAN AND JEWS

  • And now they're raping their own kids. Ever heard of the abo BABIES with VD?

  • ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhahahahhahaha­hahahahahhahahahahhahahahahaha­hahh.....i grew up in GOVE...i KNOW EXACTLY HOW THEY ARE.... and of course not all of them are bad....some of them are unfortunate.....but the majority of aboriginee's i have encountered (which i garrantee is more than most of you) are just alcohol drinking, metho sniffing, ciggerette scabbing, doll bludging, trash talking race of illiterate white hating boongs.

  • You speak the truth brett- but if you do, you're branded a racist. I would love to know where our BILLIONS in taxes has gone to, but can guess- the bowsers and the pubs. The stinking filthy bastards can't even buy soap or turn on a tap to wash themselves. They're a bunch of worthless, professional victims and I wouldn't give 5 cents for the lot of them put together and squared.

  • amen

  • @brett505123 Yet, I can easily put all their vices back on the European Settlers, who introduced Alcohol, Smokes, Petrol etc etc. In calling them "Illiterate white-hating boongs" you prove your own fear and hatred.

    And it is fear that keeps you from understanding, from really listening. You only hear about what the propaganda tells you. For once in your life, sit down with one of the Aboriginies you see on the street and listen to their story. You'll realise they want happiness just like you!

  • Run with black 50 people

    Maputo is a city of 1 million people on the shores of the Indian Ocean. Often called the Paris of Africa

  • reminds me of what happend in america or south africa

  • At 3:29 comment on what you said There's no Koori Flag in this Office Ay?

  • sorry??? they never meant it, just give Australia back to the Aboriginal people then I believe it, Aboriginal people never needed any white cunts to run their country,

  • Yahh Indigenous cultures everywhere in heeps of cases, European settlers have come in, destroyed their lives, and then blamed the original inhabitants for all the issues that are being mentioned in the media today. the reason why some indigenous people are having problems with modern society is because the change is hard and other australians are expecting aboriginals to somehow learn the complete english language overnight & find a well paying job the next morning! its stupid how people judge.

  • Mate, this is one of the most refreshing a comments i've received on this thread. At 15 you have your head screwed on right. If only some of the other bozos commenting had your brains and good sense. I agree with you totally. Indigenous ppl everwhere have and are suffering because what they had and what they were was been ripped from them. Now they are expected to fit in perfectly to suit us. When are the racists going to wake up?

    Cheers mate, you made my Monday.

    Wayne

  • Mine too! I wonder if people ever wonder why most of the natural resources are in areas where so many indigenous people live, and yet,they're the poorest in the country. Where do the taxes that the fed govt gets from mining go?Not to the people whose land has been destroyed in order to make obscene amts of money for companies like BHP Billiton?Funny how schools can be built for miners,but it's too remote too?? for those who own the land?Sickening!

  • You are totally a bright spark in this mostly dark thread and it brings hope of a better tomorrow to see your understanding. Yes, huge big cheers to you.

  • KIDAWUNJUN -Indeed!And in areas of NT,the govt is going to remove native languages from use in learning to read.This is plain stupid as well as being racist.Every education person worth a spit knows,that it's best to use native language first,then English.Kids learn easier and have a better understanding of what they're reading.Makes sense to me too.I worked in schools for almost 10 yrs.Also,govts don't use 'remoteness' as an excuse not to educate non abor.people.More racism?

  • ApeLyncher you're 100 % sick man. Go check yourself in a madhouse.

  • It's okay. I don't mind the channel spamming. Not a problem. I wanted to say to you Australians from an outsider's perspective: You don't have to be ashamed of your aboriginals. We outsiders like them. We like them a lot. We have desert indians and we get it. Their culture is fascinating to us and we might like you more if you treated them better. They don't have to do anything more to impress us, but some of you are asleep. Wake up!

  • srhpenquin-I'm a non-indigenous woman who's proud of living in a country that can boast of its indigenous people having the oldest culture on the planet.I'm only ashamed by the racist and usually untrue garbage of racists,who usually haven't read, listened to or availed themselves of the immense library of history of how this country was settled, the massacre of aboriginal people,the poisoning of water,the introduction of diseases to kill them off.They almost succeeded!They didn't?

  • Your time is up. You and your sock accounts.

  • If you stereotype a whole group of people based on the actions of a few, you are being a racist asshole, and will not garner respect for your comments. Do you know how many dishonest, meth-head, criminal, take-advantage of the system white people there are? No, you don't. That statistic doesn't serve you, you racists. Your voices are loud, but you don't say anything that makes sense. You're like a child who needs to learn the survival instinct.

  • "Do you know how many dishonest, meth-head, criminal, take-advantage of the system white people there are? No, you don't. That statistic doesn't serve you, you racists."

    Actually, dey do, it is the statistics that made them racist but that is no excuse still.

    Racesm is BAD BAD BAD, it hurt pepol´s precious feelings, it destroys pepols egos and self-importance thus stopping them from integrating... in a socety where self-importance is unwarrantly big...

    Why pepol so bad? WHY?!?

  • The African American's recieve far less charity than the Australian aboriginals, the African Americans are of actual worth to their society, un-like Australian Aboriginals.

    I do not understand why decent citizens (The 50 yr old and the native here excluded, of course) feel they deserve to pay for the sins of our fathers by spending more than %4 of our national budget on almost %1 of its population. I know for a fact, Metho, does not cost so much, Though SrhPenquin would know better than I.

  • Well, McNuggets, I really don't like beating up on over grown school boys such as yourself because it's quite obvious that your "private school" education has made a total mess of your head (all-boys was it lol?) But c'mon don't make a total fool of yourself: "I am not a racist" yet you call aborigines "savages," you spam srhpenquin's channel with your old school tie, smarmy,'who's a clever boy' put downs and racist comments...cont

  • It obviously shows you've hardly stepped outside your bedroom. If we did a poll, 99% of the people would call you a racist. except of cause you and your muppet sidekick ilk, aka ApeLyncher

  • And what is this garbage that aborigines didn't have it as hard as African Americans? Don't you know anything of Australian colonial history? The "abo hunts", terra nullius, the stripping of all rights, not even the right to vote until 1969, the diseases,...the imprisonments and countless deaths in custody, the complete extermination of the Tasmanian aborigines and on and on...? I mean seriously, even as wilfully ignorant as you are, surely you can't be that stupid?

  • Like all racist haters you maintain anonymity thus proving beyond doubt to everyone how gutless you really are...and you know it. Your time on this thread has ended.

  • Mccnuget -Individual Income of indigenous people!ABS website!

    At the time of the 2006 Census, the median gross income for all Indigenous people was $278 per week compared to $473 for all non-Indigenous people.

    The median income for Indigenous persons aged 15-24 years was $191 per week. For those aged 25-44, the median weekly income was $374 per week and for Indigenous persons aged 45 and over it was $283.Compare this with $209; $684 and $420? Big difference?Get the facts!

  • Mccnuget-I wish you'd get some facts.The budget for approx.500,000 aboriginal people is about $3 billion per year.(might be a bit more with intervention-administrative costs?).Howard gave $38 BILLION to those on $100,000+ over 4 yrs with tax cuts and super perks?Big difference?Amost 3 times as much per yr for only 600,000 well off people?

  • Mccnuget-85% of non-aboriginal people drink alcohol, as opposed to only 15% of aboriginal people.The cost to the community for our(non abor.) drinking re health is just behind that of smokers.The cost of Domistic violence across the community will be $13 billion next yr(kevin Rudd said).Most instances of DV are linked to alcohol(although not in my case).Do you challenge your mates' attitudes to women/girls.Greatest cause of death & injury for women/girls from 15-44-more than cancer or??

  • I am not a racist, not that i would care if a geek and a clearly mentally handicapped (but means well) 52 year old would think so. I have nothing but respect and adoration for Africans, and their American fellows. But everything i have said has been valid, without being vague older-gentleman brand of rhetoric. And no one can refute me. The African Americans had it MUCH harder than aboriginals, where is the Ozzie counterpart of Obama? Oprah Winfrey? Rosa Parks?

  • Mccnuget -NAIDOC week has just passed.I'd suggest you log on and see the awards plus who got them.We have an indigenous Aust.of the Yr,and Gurrummul was also nominated.He's the great abor.singer.There are indigenous people who are in all employment and the arts, including a female opera singer.On ABS all listed employments, indigenous people receive LESS per week than non-indigenous.That would really piss me off if I was an aboriginal person!It still does!

  • My God, you have all the charisma of a Baptist. Pal? Utter Garbage? Wow, don't go to far Pal!

    We all understand that white colonalism was harsh to indigineous people, but despite whatever negative effects that viciousness brought, the positives of civilization far out weigh it. You hit it on the nail, the span has been 200 years. But not by my hand, nor my parents, nor my grandparents. It simply isn't good enough to be weak and give because it smells ultruistic.

  • "Every single one of your peopel has made a joke of our country. Like its some giant, silent joke, that we all have to pretend like you savages fit in." - Mccnuget, Racist Asshole ranting about Aborigines.

  • Yeah I just looked at his comments on your profile. The guy is an A grade moron. I'm sick of these stupid people talking utter garbage...all because they think they are superior in some way, and you know why they think that? Because they are little shits deep down and they know it, so they look for a target to pick on and shed their self loathing on others. Basically they are gutless.

    You have my respect, srhpenquin.
