...the truth may hurt and continually be swept under the rug(s) but Robbie's words will eventually liberate the rest of this Community

Loved this, was too deadly!! Scrolled through some of the comments and they were pretty disappointing to say the very least!! I'm Aboriginal and proud of my culture and my people, it's very disheartening to hear the stereotype of what the ignorant minds think the majority of us black fella's are...

stop looking for blame and start taking resposibility. until you do you are not part of the solution you are the problem.

@tgmcrad Look in MIRROR Medusa.

@casting4325 ... so it is my fault that they were drinking in the middle of the day. what a joke. it is in no wonder with that sort of attitude that a majority of your people are fucked. and when you say help you really mean 'hand out' dont you. what would you have the white fella to do? if we intervene we are racist, if we do nothing we are racist - we are fucked either way and god forbid they do anything to help themselves, that is just crazy talk.

@tgmcrad Of cause its your fault.That's why you refuse to look into the mirror.The problem is that you consider that to be socially normal don't you. If it was a white person shit would hit the fan and all help would be provided.But not if they are black, especially if they are Indigenous, because it reminds you of the thief you are doesn't it.You can't look at yourself because of the vile things your ancestors did, you only want to see a perception of the truth that you invented.Sick lot you r.

@casting4325 ...is looking good - thanks for asking. had a great weekend - went a walk into the city where i bumped into the some drunk abos. there where a half dozen of them (3 men and 3 women) drinking what looked like wine out of coke bottles. all the usual drunken antics including yelling abuse at each other and people walking past them. great work for 11am - perhaps that is my fault as well.

@tgmcrad  MIRROR!!!!

[tgmcrad]

@casting4325 ...i repeat...am i forcing the aboriginals to drink, sniff petrol, beat the women, rape their kids, destroy their homes, fight and kill each other, break into houses, steel cars, rob service stations or beat and rob inncocent members of society...stop pointing fingers and start taking some responsibility.

@tgmcrad You look into the mirror, you may turn to stone once you see the racist liar in it.
