Quote:All well and good - but what makes you think black fellas are Robinson Crusoe's Man Friday? You reckon other people haven't had savage injustice done to them without accountability?
Leaving the creep to one side, as for now its a wait see how the courts deal with him whether he gets favourable treatment or not...hopefully not, bloke wanted a living doll and no doubt the living doll he wanted would have ended badly for little Cleo..
Injustices is a hallmark of the human race,... human kind can be horrendously cruel to one another, and one of the better nobler traits in human nature is to recognise injustice and to hold it to account and address a wrong.
Without long detail as its a known, Aboriginals have been greatly disadvantaged.
It is also recognised in recent decades through Aboriginal activism for equality and then on to politicians such as Gough Whitlam in a symbolic gesture poring earth into Vincent Lingiari’s hand, in an act of native title over land and onto Kevin Rudd's "sorry" speech for the thousands of indigenous children taken from their homes in forced assimilation government policies.
The pathway for equality has been set.
People have said... well white kids were taken from families, homes and single mothers then institutionalised or placed into adoption so what's the difference..?... a white kid growing up in a white mans world did not suffer the same level of prejudice as a black kid growing up in a white mans world is the short answer...or simply one cannot compare apples with oranges and call it the same.
There still needs more work in addressing the inequality with indigenous people and it is being done albeit slowly.
And back to the creep... where because of his kidnapping actions there are those that denounce all indigenous folk as bad people and therefore they should have no right to accountability and justice.
Which I say is wrong there should be still be accountability for past wrongs..
