No, your political views see that REGARDLESS of what I say, what links I provide to the Stolden Generations phenomena still being on going, legally quantified and RACIALLY MOTIVATED as recently as the 1970s your still going to pretend I'm claiming your were involved with that, or that all white people, are therefore to blame.
But you probably weren't involved with it directly... You're just denying that it would impact modern Aboriginal people and communities still... You're saying "the victims we're talking about - shouldn't feel victimized by being, or having had relatives forcibly taken from their families."
Your saying "nah, that's 'equality' - they were treated equal."
You're preaching cultural ignorance of the impact history has on a people.
You're being a fuckin Racist, and that's why YOU voted no. Because you don't know jack shit about Australia, which is why you're pushing AMERICAN victimhood culture here.
You're doing a claim to white victimhood and pretending it's about all histories being equal. I was willing to talk to you, and give you the benefit of the doubt.
But I guessed right about you from the start when I said people jump to unjustified assertions, and that's a trend on the right wing (particularly in America)... And now you've shown yourself as doing exactly that.
So it turns out, yes I do think you're a racist now, and I do think the voice was about helping communities of RURAL Aboriginal people have more of a voice (hence the name) would have been a good thing.
I'm not a dishonest coward like you, I can look history and inequality in the face without pretending it's some attack on "white people" (P.S that's not a real race or country, there's no nation or culture by that name) or a racial take over. Bizzare assumptions you're hiding behind, just like you're sweeping racism within living memory under the rug - pretending cultural difference have no modern effects on people.
It's utterly dishonest bullshit... And yeah, I'm not going to spend my time talking to scum like you.
"I'm not racist"
Is the epitome of racism.
Way to make up a stawman quote I never said.
You'll note that most of my comment was spent saying you're deceptive, and have to twist words... So the fact you responded by fabricating a quote because you couldn't find one, is hilarious.
But no, races don't exist... Ethnicities do. Go look it up for yourself. There's more genetic diversity within "darker skinned people from Africa" than there is between light skinned people (what you would call "white people") and dark skinned people (whom you would call Africans).
Race doesn't exist, it's not a scientific concept (genetics exist). Ethnicity as a social construct exosts, because it's a mix of culture, shared history, and appearance (and no, that's not a euphemism for race because it includes how groups dress/behave), so no, "White people" isn't a real race.... But Finnish people exist as an ethnicity, Germans exist as an ethnicity, French people exist as an ethnicity....
They all have different cultures, languages, traditions, dances, customs. Things constructed culturally.
They all share superficial bodily characteristics (as do the rest of humanity)... But there's no unified culture or country called "White". Nothing meaningful is defined that way other than Racism.
Like I said. There's more genetic diversity between "African" ethnicities (and sometimes within them, even where people look the same) than there is between superficially "white" people and "black" people. But you're just doing an evaluation of people's skin colour and how they look superficially and saying that's race. Go look up whether race is a scientifically valid concept. Go find the country of "White"... It's not a thing.
The world has cultures, histories, and ethnicities, not races.
Race is socially constructed not a scientific matter of genes and procreation, that would be genetics. That's why albino indians are still ethnically indians. They're not suddenly Finnish or German just because of sharing a skin colour.
Anyways, I'm sure you'll misquote me then pretend a misinterpretation you put in quotes yourself is what I was saying....
.... because like I pointed out earlier, no matter what I say you're going to have to twist it. Because not only are you a believer in an outdated ideas of Racism (bloodlines and purity and what not, when in actual fact we all trace back to the same people), you also have to lie and construct strawman arguments out of desparation.
It's not surprising you don't know Australian history. You also still think race is a scientifically valid concept. You're a liar, outdated, and ignorant of the facts, as expected. You're a racist.
