Plenty of racism around - most of it against whites.... but that'll soon change if they keep it up.
'Racism' used to be discrimination based on race.
It's now discrimination based on economic class/rank...with blacks more frequently inhabiting a lower economic status, which is of course manifested by the gap.
"I mean, you got the first mainstream African-American who is
articulate and bright and clean and a nice-looking guy. I mean, that's a storybook, man."
— Joe Biden, describing fellow candidate Barack Obama. 2007.
How many more "articulate and bright and clean and a nice-looking" blacks have got since that first one, both here and in America? Many, many more.
Progress, common prosperity even. And closing the gap?
The vast majority of the population is disadvantaged compared to Stan Grant, Marcia Langton, Ray Martin (yes, aboriginal great-great-grandmother), Bruce Pascoe (proud Cornwal Durham Durham man!), Noel Pearson.
How to close that gap?
Dear Frank, we have covered that many times, please engage your brain....( and stop being a RW 'deplorable'...)
The gap
we must close FIRST is not between the most successful mostly white/intermediate black "blacks", but between the average non-black and 'real black' gap.
Please recall my point about economic status being the actual racism which exists today, as opposed to discrimination based on race in less enlightened times.
Gawd, getting you and Graps to see reality is like herding cats....
Who's "we"? All non-Aborigines?
The entire nation, as even stated by IPA ideologue supporter Jacinta Price.
Quote:What is the role of the 80% Aborigines who don't experience a "gap"?
What is the role of the 20 % great do? Is there anything they might need to do?
Those figures are false and meaningless, proving you are a RW nut-job; one stat alone - ie, a
decade lower life expectancy on average, for blacks, proves you wrong.
Quote:You are now saying that we need to close the gap between the lumpen proletariat and the rest of society and it's just a mystery why 20% of Aborigines are at the bottom of the lumpen proletariat. Nuffin to do wiv race, muffin to do wiv kultcha, nuffin' to do wiv nuffin'.
Such things are too complex for the deplorable RW brain; poverty rates for blacks on average are higher than any other racial group, even higher than for the "lumpen proletariat" which is not a racial group, but a disadvantaged group of all races.
Quote:Just copy China, guarantee make belief jobs for the unemployable blacks, pay for it by printing monopoly money and Bingo! common prosperity!
I can assure you China isn't doing that; and the goal of
common prosperity is set to be achieved before 2049 (the centenary of the CCP government), using valuable Chinese fiat money (the yuan), not monopoly money.
But as for "make believe jobs" - that's just your deplorable RW TINA brain's neurons misfiring.
JG jobs which are considered to be valuable by the community are NOT "make believe" jobs.
(Study
real wealth creation in an economy; it's not in producing junk consumer goods which detract from an economy's real wealth by destroying health and consuming real resources).
Quote:That was easy. Thanks, Chairman Xi Who Must Be Obeyed.
Oh dear... the delusions of the deplorable misfiring RW brain, addressed above.
Quote:Next week we learn to play the Chinese flute and how to perform DIY frontal lobotomy for organ transplants purposes.
The highlighted: priceless....amazing how even a deplorable RW brain can be amusing at times.
Your reflex "RW" and "delusional freedom ideology" BS is as stupid and mindless as Bbwian's and karnal's reflex "wacism" trope as a way of avoiding thought.
Aboriginal disadvantage is due to cultural incommensurability: Aboriginal culture in a modern society. Same with black Americal culture. Da gangsta culture is incompatible with middle class American life, regardless of race.
Aborigines who assimilated into modern culture and society are not disadvantaged because their race is irrelevant. Culture is all. Acculturation. Assimilation.
Unless you want parallel societies: third world Aboriginal squalor in a rich, affluent, open and egalitarian society.
