  1.  @frankie7529  Then I'm completely in the wrong and misunderstood the intention of your comment, but to be fair you should have been clearer, my apologies once again.

  2.  @birgittabirgersdatter8082  Yeah I mean that have it so good.

  3. So your just a grifter. At least your honest about that aspect of your life.

  4. Read the last closing the gap report and then you will understand what you said is just total rubbish.

  5. Don't forget bigoted racist misogynist as well.

  6. Yes more disease, poverty, unemployment, and chance of gaol. I could go on, but getting any truth through to a racist is unlikely.

  7. Under that tin foil hat I detect a bigoted receptor

  8. No your just a misogynist.

  9. That's what the Nazi's did. Just saying.

  10. What a wonderfully supremely racist comment

  11.  @frankie7529  Well I might be misinterpreting "people who have not caught up to the 21 st century" but that comment when talking about indigenous people and their culture sure comes across as what I would describe as a white supremacist talking point. However your reply seems to actually show some compassion and empathy for first people's so I apologise. There is nothing racist about identifying groups by common identity or features. It's racist when you call those differences inferior.

  12.  @frankie7529  Just when I thought that's it I'll leave it there, admit your wrong move on, you go and step over into total absurdity. To even suggest that in South Africa during apartheid that some whites has it bad, as the black African community is so incredibly offensive it beggars belief that in a discussion on racial inequality you reference South Africa. I am sure there was some poor white dudes doing it tough in South Africa and every single one of them was a racist. There problem was they were poor white racists. Just when I thought you had something sensible to contribute you went and proved me completely wrong.

  13.  @Clarrybongalot  Everything you said in your comment is either a straight out lie or something made up in your imagination.

  14. Do you have even the slightest idea of the statistics related to indigenous persons compared to the general population?

  15. Spoken with all the empathy of a privileged white male. And yes that is an assumption on my part.

  16.  @brookemckenzie4844  You really have no clue as to the realities of life as an indigenous person in Australia do you?

  17.  @rapscallion9333  I would have added condescending, but that word probably isn't in your vocabulary

  18. Considered Indigenous people's were still being shot and killed well into the 1930s and were not even included in then census until 1969 it kinda obvious why aboriginality was denied or hidden by families, you might loose your kids. Your comment is unbelievablely vacuous.

  19. Except that bears absolutely no relation to reality.

  20.  @diannemorris8690  I am not sure if you have a proper grasp on the reality of indigenous society in Australia, but I'm am happy to be fact checked here. Apart for leading the rates of imprisionment by what measure do you suggest indigenous health, education, housing, employment or welfare outcomes are ahead of the general population?
    1
  21.  @diannemorris8690  You know full well just ticking a box on a Centrelink form can in no way instantly get you a welfare payment. You clearly have a biased agenda you are committed to. There is a reason indigenous people have access to extended welfare and those are the issues I raised earlier. If people were cheating the system and getting away with then it was because weren't doing your job properly.

  22.  @chuggles03  Really, cheap car loans, free private school education, immediate access to public housing, free taxi rides, free bus rides, free university, free TAFE. These are all items available to anyone in Australia who qualifies. There are specific programs and financial assistance to indigenous persons, however this is because of the significant disadvantage that they start from.

  23. Just a non-sensical comment, why would anyone choose to lower every measurable life outcome there is other than being the rate you were put in gaol.
    1
  24. That is a laughable comment. To even suggest indigenous peoples are indulging in racist behaviour just defies reality.
    1
  25.  @rapscallion9333  Any individual is of course capable of racist thought or behaviour, but your suggestion that individuals with only the motive of money and rights are choosing to identify as aboriginal is actually the definition of being a bigot.

  26. What a significantly less death rate by gun deaths!

  27.  @TaaxiCaab  A throughly dishonest answer. Considering the topic is indigenous inequality and thier well above national average rate of suicides. You were implying using weapons, at least have the courage to comment honestly as to who and what and why.

  28. Disingenuous attempts at empathy only display racist homophobic misogynist attitudes.

  33. @Stephen Clark You do understand that gender is a role and it is something you can choose or change where as your racial/cultural background is simply what it is.

  34. @Stephen Clark Do you understand the difference between genders and race? It appears you don't'. Or is the answer to most things you lack understanding of is to cry "bollocks".

  35. @Stephen Clark Trans inter species, I lack a degree in biology but my commonsense tells me that would be problematic, however it is good to see you seem to be more accepting now.

  36. @Stephen Clark I have no idea what woke is? Maybe you could tell me what you think it is. I would have thought just showing common human decency and empathy to others was common sense.

  39.  @myquestionaskingaccount3252  I apologise. I thought you were having a go at a first people's person identifying as aboriginal. I understand having a cultural background other than white Anglo in Australia is very difficult and I do not begrudge your efforts to ease that discomfort. There are so many other comments on this page that are Just straight out racist. Once again sorry.
    1
  40.  @myquestionaskingaccount3252  Good luck to you but as a Anglo straight man with all the privilege, resources, and opportunities that came with that, I have never found anything remotely difficult to do or get done. I am financially secure, have a extended family and have literally never wanted for anything in my life, and that was all just luck and circumstance, nothing more or less.

  41. With just the minimal of amount of reading the difference between genders and race is obvious to most normal people.

  42.  @laszlokaestner5766  Thanks for that.

  43.  @damo5701  Just read down though the comments on this page and then decide for yourself what is being discussed. Hint, racist hate. Of course assistance should be as carefully targeted as possible, but in reality any system will be targeted and abused by the dishonest. Due to the special nature of the aboriginal community to this country and the deplorable treatment they received from 1788 to the present then yes I believe they have a right to some extra assistance in attempt to improve their outcomes. It is easy to pick the example of an educated successful indigenous person and say what assistance do they need, and ignore the thousands that Iive in poverty.

  44.  @oceanbreeze6812  I read Dark Emu a couple of years ago and it didn't ring true to me then, and as you are aware serious academic doubt has now been placed on it, quite righty in my opinion. The rest of your reply is just a series of personal insults and unsubstantiated allegations that does you no credit.
    1
  45.  @TheRastacabbage  Straight out urban myth. There is not a single type of social welfare, scholarship, or financial assistance afforded to indigenous people that the general population does not have access to as well. It may have a different name but that's it. The aboriginal community in Australia significantly die earlier, are less employed, less educated, I could go on but apart from over representation in our gaols are behind on every count. This is all common knowledge and you seriously suggest it's all a level playing field. That is either unbelievablely naive or blatantly disingenuous.

  46.  @TheRastacabbage  You provide no evidence just unsubstantiated assertion, and thus what is asserted without eveidence is dismissed without evidence. The something going on is racism pure and simple.
    1
  47.  @TheRastacabbage  For your information there are some jobs that preference aboriginal background, because the level of unemployment in the indigenous community is significantly higher than the general population. but they are not exclusively indigenous, many different people have access to cheap loans (My work provided me one), public housing is available to all Australians, and public healthcare is available to all Australians. It is well common knowledge through the publication of numerous reports and statistics that the housing and health outcomes for indigenous peoples are both considerably below the national average. Once again you have shown no evidence other than the crude personal attacks on my intellect.
    1
  48.  @TheRastacabbage  I understand these seperate systems exist in your imagination, however your claims have no basis in reality as you provide no evidence. Insisting on personal attacks only demonstrates the shallowness of your argument. I am not sure what drives this bigoted attitude I can only assume a level of ignorance of the facts.
    1
  49.  @TheRastacabbage  And in this parallel system of yours can you point to one measurable circumstance where indigenous people are ahead of the general population, other than inprisonment rates? When you say decades is that before or after they were only recognised as Australians after the 1969 referendum? How many decades do you go back until the widespread group massacres ceased. How many decades do you have to go back to Federation when they were completely ignored in the writing of our constitution? I have no idea what you even consider a fact. What is a woke warrior?
    1
  50.  @TheRastacabbage  You didn't get even the slightest of ideas from the hints In my last reply. Facts quoted again from my last reply and the accepted common knowledge of at least 200 years of institutionalised racism. Are you being wilfully blind? Once again what is a woke warrior? Do you mean someone who has and understanding of racism?
    1
  51.  @TheRastacabbage  And there you go straight off the cliff into wild racist conspiracy theory. Any further discussion is obviously pointless as me quoting a statistical overview of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in Australia:2008 would mean nothing to you as all would would claim is that it state sanctioned media. Once someone is faced with the truth that they cannot accept the brain does weird things it is called cognitive dissonance. If you can't respond sensiblely don't bother.

  52.  @oceanbreeze6812  As one privileged white male to another I appreciate your attempt at empathy despite how disingenuous it was.

  54.  @oceanbreeze6812  Pascoe will pay a price for his deeply flawed book. The best I can do is highlight the racist, bigoted comments on this page.

  56. This comment displays absolutely no understanding of the difference between facism and Marxism, so much so that I don't believe it is a legitimate comment.
