To destroy a people you must destroy their understanding of their history, to enslave them you must make it so they do not know of any other way other than being slaves.

Zazoo Australia curriculum is pretty hot shit on teaching abbot culture. It’s practically rammed down children’s throat.

That's because the British wrote your history school books.

Finn Lewis did you know Jame Cook was a Lieutenat when he landed in Australia

Michael Halligan is this true? Where did you hear it

>No mention of Ned Kelly?

Sounds like a lot of bullshit in this thread. Cook was actually a pretty decent guy. The reason he got killed was that he tried to take the Hawaiian king after one of this landing boats were taken. Other than that he was pretty good. These guys were products of the Enlightenment, all full of do-good ideas for the betterment of man etc etc. Their societies were barbaric but the individuals tried, usually unsuccessfully, to rise above it. Just look at Governor Phillip after the arrival of the First Fleet, he even let himself get speared in the shoulder without retaliation after they had abducted an aboriginal man to act as a go-between (that guy was Bennelong). As I said the societies these men came from were barbaric, you only have to see how the convicts were treated ... the country was full of people who either were brutalised by the whip or held the whip. Explains why as a society we now detest authority and injustice.

@Michael Halligan Your so full of shit

When I think of all the harm the Bible has done, I despair of ever writing anything to equal it’ - Oscar Wilde (1854-1900), Irish author I don't give a damn what the bible says about gay people. The bible Allow slavery, child abuse, misogyny, war, and rape-marriages, Genocide, sex slaves, Cannibalism and should not be considered a "moral guidebook". And until you actually prove that Flat Earth, Adam- eve, Jesus even exists, your argument is irrelevant.

Wtf? No, Spain came after the dutch.

Either way, it was just a joke guys.

1. Welcome to the derived from Latin show! Spanish? Derived from Latin! Australia? You guessed it! Latin! 1,5. So the Spanish for some reason called the landmass (that they never visited) that was nowhere near Austria "South Austria"? No thank you my good sir, I will not believe that. 2. So as the amount of languages someone speaks seems to be an argument to you somehow, I know/speak 7 languages (English, Dutch, German, Latin, Ancient Greek, French and Japanese (that's in order of how well I know them (kind of; Greek and Latin require a different kind of knowledge))) (Not that it actually matters to me but it seemed like it did matter to you) 3. Tasmania was named after Abel Tasman, that seems pretty logical to me. (Note: Abel Tasman is a Dutchman and not somehow a Spanish word(even if you somehow make up something so you can say it is: See point 1) Thank you.

Note: I don't really have enough time to research so I'll keep it a bit more neutral in the sections where I'm not totally sure. 1. One thing: I never said Cook named it, not that I actually have a source to say he didn't, but just a point 1.5 you literally said "Southern-Austrian Land of the Holy Spirit". If that was a typo, okay, no problem then. 2. I'm not actually Australian, I just love Koalas and Australia as a whole. I'm actually Dutch. I know I put English in front, that's because I probably speak English better as I learned it from UKposts (the feeling part) and school (proper grammar and vocabulary) while I was brought up with Dutch and copied the mistakes my parents make. As for Ancient Greek and Latin, I'm currently learning them at school, I don't know if you also did/do, but just a bit of a note. (If you're curious: in the Netherlands you have to learn French and German in the first 3 years of secondary school and I go to a TTO Gymnasium (TTO is a Dutch abbreviation of Double Language School) so I get Greek and Latin (the Gymnasium part) and everything else in either Dutch or English) I'm learning Japanese with some friend via the Internet. I don't know if you mean dialect with "local language" but if you do and I had to count them aswell, I would probably go into the double figures. 3. Again I don't have the time to research it, so I can only ask you why they didn't stay as in that era everyone was grabbing as much land as possible and it would give them a stronghold in Asia which would be nice. P.S.: You can find Roman things in Greece and visa versa, but that doesn't prove that one discovered the other (but then also the other way around? (Again that's why it can't be correct)) , only that they actually were there someday. P.P.S.: Please only use ignorant when someone actually is. I wasn't ignorant; you only said something is true and if I think that you're incorrect then that's that, only if you gave me actual sources and I disagreed with that would it be ignorant.

Dear ljf, I have 2 reasons why I disagree, note that I am an australian and speak english as my first and only language. 1. Wikipedia is open source, so I could got to that article and write "australia was first mentioned in 6969 on the 20th of the 4th by snoop dogg" 2. A sentence after the bit you mention it says that it is mentioning the name for another island.

Dishonored 4 Taxi true that... I really love Aboriginal peoples and it always makes me angry when I see racist comments.

It's such a shame, it really is. I feel for your people, I truly do. I am from Africa and am living in America for the moment. A lot of white Americans disrespect the Natives as well as the black people here in the same way. It's astounding to see such unwarranted hatred for a people. But the Universe has a way of balancing things out, in the end. God bless.

Helen West in the end, I think that it is our duty as human beings to support each other as much as possible right now, because the world is going through some extremely rough times, with racist and intolerant people getting more aggressive by the day. In the end it doesn't matter where you're from, what you look like, or what you believe in, as long as you're a respectful, generally kind and hard working person. I think those are universally appreciated traits, and we need more people like that everywhere.

Helen West thanks for the support what we all have in common is how we all have the same kind of backgrounds for being slaughtered and invaded when first discovered white people started racism it should be their problem to stop it as it comes down to one race the human race thanks for the support and positive comments for centuries the native Americans the Africans and us aboriginals have always been fighting for our rights and have some similarities in our cultures

Hey brother, I like your comment. I really feel and have felt uncomfortable with the term "aboriginal". Fuck that shit, true Aussie natives are the original people of Australia. There is nothing "ab" about the beautiful and richly cultured native people of Australia.

Foreman Rekanis Neanderthals aren't subspecies. Are they?

Really? I agree that the racism being displayed isn't great, But without altering the wilderness? There was mass destruction of the Australian continent after aboriginals arrived, firestick farming destroyed the entire centre of the country and the entire mega fauna population was wiped out through hunting. Now i don't have a problem with that, people do what they need to do to survive. But don't pretend your ancestors weren't incredibly destructive to the landmass and native wildlife.

a coincidence you mention Neanderthals because north western Europeans are about 15% neanderthal that's was give us our racial characteristics to survive the cold winters of Europe.

Don't worry bro. Plenty of ignorant fuckers in all races. I'm not blind to race, I celebrate diversity. Anglo-Celtic blood Aussie, married to a South Asian this time around and I've been close allies with some of the oldest tribes in WA for decades as well as have good history in the "Big House" with plenty of Noongars also. :-) Those who lack the wisdom or knowledge to recognise the similarities among the differences and who judge others according to their own parochial lives are unavoidable but they do not control the future.

When I was a teenager my girlfriend's family were a very extreme Apostolic missionary family who's spend many years in Port Hedland "looking after aborigines" and they had a little aborigine girl in the house who was somewhere between a slave and house pet. I was young and had much to learn but to this day the way they treated her haunts me. I realise now she was a victim of the Stolen Generation. Poor little Linda, I have often wondered how she went. I hope she escaped from that family of self righteous monsters. One of the last I guess since this was the late seventies. Many years later I have come to value my alliance with certain aborigine tribes above all those I have known. I understand the culture and judge from within not without. I've had some really remarkable experiences with the original people of this land and I have long since made peace and apologised for my family and role long before Rudd made his mark. I have a permanent invitation to go to the land of a very old tribe to survive when the bad days come. I trust my aborigine friends' legends and know of some secrets. Some too terrible to speak of. For example the massacres of blackfellas in Western Australia was much worse than acknowledged. The bones of the victims fill caves to this day. Some with men and others filled with the bones of women and children. I do not feel like a conqueror of this land but an interloper who lives here according to the acceptance of my friends whose land it is still.

@The Phantom I normally hate when people accuse others of virtue signalling. But you have pretty much nailed this. We can only control what we do now. That being said, if segments of the population are struggling as a result of generational and systemic abuse/racism/neglect. We should do our best to course correct, and I don't just mean throw money at the problem.

@The Phantom damn, very well said

Heath Cliff I dunno bit it would be nice if our current president would disappear without a trace... he can take the VP and all of Congress with him too.

He didn't disappear as such. He drowned whilst taking a swim in the ocean. By the time they realised, his body was taken out by the current. Which is why they never found his body. That's hardly a disappearance. It's a drowning.

A whole lot of people would be really happy.

I heard a story once. Someone I know claimed that one of his relatives who worked in the military was called to Harold Holt's house. He had been shot and was dead on the floor. This relative was then instructed to dispose of the body and keep it quiet. I have no way of verifying the story, nor do I wish to identify the source. Nor can I say that I 100% believe the story. But I did find it interesting.

Isn't botany bay where Sydney airport in mascot

​@@rear9259yes Botany Bay is to the south of the airport.

No. The language had a true name at some point, but it intermingled with Another language when it was colonised. Arnhem Land literally means “land of the foreigners”. So yes, if you believe the Dutch, it does make sense, but honestly it could be any language, or any other nation that colonised it at that time. There are no linguistic markers for Dutch in any of the indigenous languages of the area.

No the Dutch made no claim to Australia, in fact they thought the land was unliveable. It was only when the British arrived that any real Colonisation took part.

Expert Opinion what are you talking about?

XZDrake I'm not even from Australia bro, im an young black man from the USA

Lord Levarius Wright Aboriginals make up 25% of prison population yet account for 3%. Women are 50 times more likely to suffer DV in an Aboriginal community. Australia has been giving them welfare and health assistance for sixty years to no avail. They cost more than $40billion a year in tax, own mineral rights and 12.6% of land amongst just 750000 (A population that has doubled in twenty years as anyone can claim to be Indigenous to jump on the gravy train) they ARE the wealthiest land owners on the planet but suffer internalised corruption. Now victimhood politics is in full swing in the west, one eighth indigenous love to scream about their ancestors and their land forgetting about the 7/8ths Irish blood. These are the political ambitious or the self agrandising welfare pot smokers. Actual outback communities with more full blood are a real social issue. If you want an idea about aboriginal community violence just UKposts it to get an idea. Some towns are dry (alcohol free) some are not. Alice Springs has a big grog problem (as well as other drugs). Meanwhile the spineless politicians pander to the narrative while the inner city SJWs who have never been to a troubled community cry in empathetic naval gazing. Using reductionist arguments about skin colour and racism. Ignorants. Anyone over the age of 45 knows our history better than the youth and their revisionist BS. Immigrants only see the tourist image of dream time and art where the reality is far from it. They then abuse whites as racist cause they have hang ups in their own countries history like African slavery in America or British colonialism in India, even Chinese. They seem to want to abuse whites while wanting to get in to get the good life we created. Australia is unique in being settled rather peacefully while It is currently being revised otherwise. This pisses people off as we've done so much good and it is not recognised.

Gutten Tag well it's kinda the same here in the US where a lot of blacks in jails and prisons

Lord Levarius Wright Yeh I know. American jails are a private business. America has the highest incarceration rate in the world. I think it's different here as Aboriginals fell in love with alcohol from day one and didn't have the enzyme to break it down quick enough. They can become very aggressive. Australia has a much better welfare system which supports them to not work which suits their culture. But they get bored too. There parents get high and the kids rebel. Problem is free time and the grog. America is a dog eat dog world with guns to boot. Seems the lack of welfare and systemic poverty drives crime which suits the system of cheap prison labour. The history of America is very different. It is apples and oranges , but unfortunately many SJW just see colour and extrapolate the same conclusion. It's a shame as Australia was founded on Christian principles and we did try and help the indigenous and still do. Nothing is ever perfect but compared to America, Australia was like a new aged utopia with no wars or genocide. Not that it's portrayed that way now as everyone wants to be heard as part of the victim club..
