 Australia’s history of racism towards Aboriginals is absolutely disgusting. 

Until the mid-60s, indigenous Australians came under the Flora And Fauna Act, which classified them as animals, not human beings. This also meant that killing an indigenous Australian meant you weren’t killing a human being, but an animal.

To this day, Australia breaks every code of the Geneva Convention when it comes to indigenous Australians and their human rights. The “public housing” that the government has given them are one-bedroom shacks with no running water, no electricity and no gas, that entire families are forced to live in. These shacks are in communities in the outback, as far away from “civilised” society as possible. Out of sight, out of mind.

Indigenous Australians that live in the city are commonly forced to live in very dangerous and derelict areas that the government gives very little funding towards. Redfern in Sydney is a highly indigenous Australian populated suburb that is rife with crime, unemployment and horrendous living conditions. The government does next to nothing to help these people, either.

Whenever riots have broken out as a result of incredibly low morale, the police and the government are very quick to point all the blame at the indigenous Australians and say that they are the cause of their own problems, rather than looking at what the actual cause is.

Unemployment rates amongst indigenous Australians is astronomical. Crime rates are astronomical. Suicide rates are extremely high within the indigenous Australian community. Death from inadequate living conditions and inadequate health care is common. Brutality towards indigenous Australians is common.

The way many indigenous Australians are forced to live is equivalent to that of what one would expect from a third-world country. Indigenous Australians are considered by the UN to be one of the most horrendously marginalised groups in the world.

And how does the government amend all of this? With a national “Sorry Day”, where white people plant a hand in some designated area of soil as a token of their white guilt, and then continue going about their white privileged day.

On top of that, white people here commonly bitch and complain about how “good” indigenous Australians have it and how “thankful” they ought to be to the white man for improving their quality of life. Meanwhile, indigenous Australians have lost almost all sense of identity and culture because of white colonisation.

What is left of Aboriginal identity and culture has been nearly completely destroyed. And most people in this disgustingly privileged country do not give a single god damn fuck.

Australia is a disgusting country when it comes to racism. I am disgusted by my own country.

Agreed. Also, correct me if I’m wrong, but I’m pretty sure “Sorry day” isn’t even an annual event? Yet “Australia day” is….

i’ve gotten into so many fights with idiots who think that indigenous australians have it ~easy because of bullshit they’ve been fed by rubbish media. i just. i don’t. bah.

sickascancerr The photo is absolutely disgusting and what we did in the past is absolutely disgusting. But native australians have just as much responsibility for their lives as we do. Yes the government should continue to help them, just as they should continue to help every other struggling person in this country, but when are we going to stop saying sorry and getting blamed for the disgusting acts of our ancestors? It no longer directly affects this community, they let it affect them. What happened to them in the past is absolutely disgusting, even how they get treated now (by a select few is disgusting) but have you ever been on public transport and sworn at, hit at, yelled at etc. by just because your white? The treatment goes both ways. So many asians, caucasians etc face hardships in Australia. Every one faces hardships and everyone has the ability to change their lives. The aboriginals have the abilities to change their lives in the same we do. In fact they have more advantages. Have you ever wondered why when you apply for a job or a placement in a school/university you have the option to tick the box ‘aboriginal or torrent strait islander? It’s because when you tick that box you get preference into a course or the job of your choice. They have plenty of opportunities, but they too need to want to change their lives too, it can’t just be blamed on the government. What we did in the past is absolutely outrageous and it disgusts me right down to my core, but in order for change to occur, they too need to want that change. 

The last post in this thread is exactly why shit will never change. Jesus Christ. “I know that bad stuff happened but it was forever ago! When are you going to get that chip off your shoulder?! It’s not like it happened to YOU.” Ll Cool J and that other guy should collaborate with this person on a second song.
