Actually, our government has done more than enough to provide for them. They have numerous government benefits especially for indigenous people and many organisations dedicated to helping them get jobs and look after themselves. Despite the fact that my ancestors may have taken their land, it gives no excuse for them to disrespect me for no other reason than my colour. I've never uttered a racist slur to anyone, yet I've copped all the names under the sun.
Oooh, handouts. Vs Land. You don't need me to tell you that wealth = power, not stupid food tokens and job schemes for min wage work. If they had the land they rightfully owned, THEY would be the ones in charge, giving out the min wage jobs to whites.
I'm sorry But my area is more than 50% aboriginal. I know what they get. Each "handout" is given to help them get jobs and to send them to TAFE in order for them to study. The white people here have to study to get a good paying job also. There's no difference at all in how black and white are treated in the work force here. There is no reason to dwell in the past, what's done is done. Their weekly benefits actually rack up to more than a lot of white folk's income. I suppose that unless you live in this country and experience the situation first hand rather than believing what you hear and read, you can never fully understand how fair our government is.
Is it normal To think black people are the most racist of all?
