It amazes me how many people don't even realise that this genocide happened.. but its the same the world over... from the Americas to Africa to Australia the Europeans went on a killing rampage & their descendants aren't ever taught that their lives are built on the mass murder genocide of indigineous peoples.

So sad that it still goes on today!

V.true - As Robbie says in the vid, its an undeclared war, a secret invasion.

The genocide is commonly known under the euphemism, 'colonialism', whitewashed-clean with words like 'discovery', 'exploration', 'settlement' and 'pioneers.'

To those who are not upset at the invasion, rape, pillage & plunder & ethnic cleansing/genocide of the Original Peoples of this land & think it is not a problem anymore I ask you to consider this.... Do you believe in equality for all? If so, do you think it is ok to ignore the sacred grounds of the [Ab}Original peoples in order to mine etc? if so, then it will be ok for us to ignore your sacred grounds & dig up your cemeteries/ancestors to mine also - ok? Don't get upset over it.

If so, then as

@Mozaeous ...and the the yabby farm that cost the tax payer millions of dollars but end up been a handful of 44 gallon drums with a few under sized yabbies....lol.

"do you want your children to grow up knowing their liable because their ancestors and elders didnt do nothin' about it"? Fuck off, im not liable in any way shape or form what happened in the past 250 years, thats retarded logic.

[Mozaeous]

The success of Aboriginal enterprises such as the first Australian emu farm in WA, the Noonkanbah pastoral enterprise and the management of Uluru, indicate that restoration of land to Aboriginal owners will not only restore their cultural security but in many cases provide them with economic security and independence This clearly is beneficial to all.

[Mozaeous]

Most of the land which has been so far restored to Aborigines under the existing land rights legislations or which will be open for claims under native title, is land which rich Aborigines did not wont in the first place, ie it is mainly land with no economic value other than possibly mining and tourism.

The content of a contract I say.And how that contract is honoured I say.Not dictatorship I say.dont beleive pscucailin.Contracts & honoring them is what is important if people do good job of that then things can improve I say.Stop blocking Juice Please.

[thegamblergambler]

Stop blocking Juice.

[lawsofexpression]

In the US if you have one ounce of Black in you~your dirt. Very confusing this race crap. People should be looked upon by "the content of their character."

[pscucailin]

Because of the white Australia Policy, the only real racial minority before 1975 were the aborigines. Whilst the aborigines were segregated in some country towns and institutions such as the RSL, they numbered only about 50 000 out of a country of 11 000 000. Half castes were treated legally the same as whites.

Unfortunately one of the mistakes that labor made was to empower half caste or even 3/4, 7/8 white man quasi marxist aborigines as leaders of their community.

[lawsofexpression]

I'm stunned! Of all of the Countries I thought Australia was wayyyyyy ahead of the US in this department! Racism is obvious here, there never will be NO change here. So what we have a treaty with the American Indians (it's a lie they have come to the conclusion they MUST take care of their own), but nothing but hate for Blacks here in 2010 or 2012 their most likely will be a Civil War here. And yes my Friend I am a bit scared. Sad to be scared of where you live and it's people. Good work Love
