I remember some character on Yahoo who used to go on about the great universities in Arnhem Land.

Was he a Muslim? Abu's main thesis was that Aborigines should have been, and should still be, more violent towards European settlers. Presumably also that they should convert to Islam - perhaps in prison after being convicted. Perhaps he saw strategic similarities in the victimhood narratives.

But they want to sit around and claim that their loss of culture is what is holding them back.

Well they're smart enough to have ripped you whities off $$$$ over the years.
Usurped your Media also, to turn against you with their white Gay/Trans (bi*tches) like Peccary, Smith, Dnarever, Mothra.
Their black brothers in America get free sex from white people. White women have sex with black men, so as not to be 'racist'.

Me thinks you calling the Abos primitive, was your first mistake. They've outsmarted you right from the start. Grin

Plenty of us think that indigenous Australians are smart enough and capable enough to work to at least a reasonable standard. That is why we are critical of indigenous people not having employment rates, health and other issues around the standards of non-indigenous Australians.

They send us 12,000 miles from home to fight an enemy on his home territory that he's fought over for 40,000 years .... just before we leave they take away all my troops of soldiers and replace 'em with convicts proven to be of no value - and if the supply ships stop coming... we all get slaughtered.

Ah - so now they weren't heartlessly massacred to the point where there were as many left after the Massacre times as there were at Settlement, and those who lived in peace were left alone, and their population had anyway been stable for 40,000 years given the climate and lifestyle, so there was no Massacre.... bit like the tranny 'genocide' eh?

Sounds like yet another Pascoism to me.... now they were fearless and cunning warriors who used sophisticated concepts to fight the White Man and only ever died in battle..... they used 'economic factors' to fight.... maybe burned a crop of two ... very sophisticated ... so now the truth-telling is that they instead massacred people not in arms against them and murdered women and children.

I seriously doubt they truly want to go anywhere near any 'truth-telling'.... I should read this book for another laugh....

Such an ABC article. Tendentious, pathetic.

And yet, the ABC won't even mention Lidia's Cultural War...

We're all too busy laughing to fight... cunning no?
