Aboriginal culture is for stone age tribal people.
So they will need assistance to prosper in a money-based economy.
Quote:Government policies, money, programs etc make sense ONLY to those who have left their tribal ways behind generations ago. They are now MPs, senators, CEOs, businessmen, teachers, social workers, ambos, soldiers, tradies.
Maybe so, but accusing people of being lazy won't help close the gap.
Quote:THEY ARE THE ONES who left the illiterate, alcoholic, barbarous Aborigines behind, in the lurch, monstering each other - it's not you, me, Mothra or Bbwian, not EVEN Karnal and gweggy turd.
The word alcoholic shouldn't be in there (wasn't part of the culture before 1788).
Quote: It is not the 'system's, which put the Langtons, Burneys, Grants, Lividias, Dodsons, Davises and Pascoes (!) where they are today.
In fact, all those people successfully transitioned to the money economy -
despite the dysfunctional nature of our current money economy which uses unemployment to control wages.
That dysfunctional element of our economy is what I refer to as a 'systems', or systemic, or structural problem, ie the most disadvantaged/least competitve - both black and non-black - are forced onto the unemployment scrap heap.
Quote:The 'system' doesn't reward barbarity - how wacist is that, OMG! What are the fragrant, blonde city Aborigines doing for they outback Aborigines? Nothing - wrong tribe, wrong skin, wrong fkkkn 'dreamin'.
What you refer to as 'the system' is in fact referring to
outcomes of the dysfunctional system which I am referring to.
Quote:I am very sorry for the Aboriginals monstered by other Aboriginals but have ZERO respect for the city activists. ZERO.
Fair enough, though I realize the city activists - like you - misunderstand the part which the current
economic orthodoxy, ie system plays in creating and entrenching poverty.
Quote:They know how to game the system for their own personal advantage and that is precisely what they are doing.
A bit like politicians in general, though I will give them the benefit of a doubt: "they know not what they do".
Quote:There is Garma and Uluru Statement - but there is no working bee by Aboriginal MPs, Senators, lawyers, land council CEOs etc, where they are needed. Too far, too hot, too many flies, too many Aborigines.
Yes it would take grit to get out amongst them; Tony Abbot did, but he couldn't change anything for the better.
You know why he couldn't...
