segregation is racist! as far as I know we have never had that here.. what are they talking about if you are pointing the finger at us spell it out.....dont be shy!
Quote:Queensland was the home of segregation in Australia, Cods. Indigenous people were limited as to where they could live, what jobs they could work and who they could marry. Indeed, South Africa came to Queensland to learn how to make their Pass Laws work.
Quote:news to me...and yet aboriginals still live and thrive there..
And why wouldn't they, Cods? The point is, segregation existed in Australia - something appeared ignorant of. What does that suggest about your knowledge of Australian history and it's race relations?
Quote:Thankfully, that is all dead and it appears buried if your claims are correct. Name calling is childish but it is what people like Matty excel at. They are trolls hiding in their basement bashing out what they think is thoughtful posts but are really only designed to incite peoples' tempers.
Quote:SO WHAT?...HOW DO YOU STOP IT....YOU WANT GOVTS TO STOP IT...TELL US HOW
Well the first thing is of course education. Something the Right appears to fear. They hate being taught the truth about settlement. I wonder why?
Oh, and please stop shouting. I am treating your concerns with due regard. Why don't you consider mine?
Quote:Australia has a problem with Racism. Most Australians would be willing to tell a Racist joke and laugh about it, rather than face the reality they are furthering the cause of Racism. Australia's problem was once remarked to me by an Englishman I was working with as "a casual relationship." All too often the concepts, the remarks are that, casual but they still hurt. Asian, African, Indigenous Australians for example can all too often relate about how their feelings have been hurt by casual remarks. You have idiots like the Bolter decreeing that some people are "too white to be Aboriginal". Gee, if it was only skin colour which determined if a person was Indigenous. Peoples' attitudes are determined by many things, not just skin colour unfortunately. Look at Bobby with his senseless attacks on innocent Africans living in Australia. Look at Matty's senseless trolls about Muslims. Tsk, tsk.
Quote:how do you stop it...
YOU ARE TALKING ABOUT PEOPLES MINDS THE WAY THEY THINK....I DONT HAVE A LOT OF TIME FOR YOUR MATE PUTIN BUT YOU FIND HIM OK.....SO IS THAT RACISM?....
Putin is no "mate" of mine. Your attempts to bait and troll fall flat as per usual, Cods. Please stop them.
I am indeed talking about Peoples' minds. Education is the key. I note that Australian attitudes towards many different ethnicities, "races" and cultures have changed as they become more and more familiar with them. One day, perhaps Racists will become extinct. Who knows?
You often complain if someone calls you a "Pom". Cods. Why? Do you consider yourself Australian? I would hope so. Which is why I rarely use that term with you. Occasionally I might liken you to a drunken housewife but that is only when you've said something particularly stupid. I don't make excuses for it. It is just part of my "casual" viewpoint. Would you like me to stop? You appear rather unwilling to consider other's feelings. I wonder why?
