Can’t imagine they’d be the type of followers he’d want if they bailed because of that.Ok, just googled him. Apparently he sportses good. Good on him for posting that. Will no doubt cost him some Aussie followers.

It needs to happen to make a change, I grew up in an indigenous area and I've seen the struggles they have.Ok, just googled him. Apparently he sportses good. Good on him for posting that. Will no doubt cost him some Aussie followers.
I can get behind changing the date. But no way in hell am I getting behind removing a public holiday.I'm thinking the same thing, why do we need a day anyway?
a date change is tokenistic for sure, but i'd say it means a bit to enough people to warrant the change. and the change wont happen without the support of the inner city lefty hipster whiteys, so might aswell embrace it.All this talk here of moving the day around is exactly the same thing that is happening all over the country. We may think of ourselves and our peers as enlightened and modern thinkers, making a difference by acknowledging that indigenous people went through shit on the way to getting to the year 2021 but we’re just another bunch of white guys pretending that changing the “brand name” makes any fucking different at all.
Our prime minister stood in front of a nation and delivered a sincere apology for the treatment of our nations first people and still, as white people, we are guilted into making “the first steps” to reconciliation.
The nation’s first people need legitimate representation at a federal level to inform all of us ignorant and entitled whities what is the best thing for their people and ensure that it’s accepted and embraced for the betterment of the nation.
Wouldnt work in a fit of sundays anyway. Aussies dont hold much TRULY sacred, but thats definitely one of the few things.I can get behind changing the date. But no way in hell am I getting behind removing a public holiday.
So you say that the school was ignorant but he was taken from class for counseling, he chose to make a joke of it when people were trying to help. I know quite a few people in the social services industry and all of them are there trying to make a difference to people’s lives. You can lead a horse to water but if it doesn’t want your water because you’re white, what do you do then?In a way similar to flow. I was in sort of country Qld. Nearest city was about an hour away and Brissy even further. We had a number of aboriginal families in the town and I went to school with two boys and a girl from different families. One boy was the class clown in every subject. Was considered hopeless and dumb. The others worked their bums off and did well. It took me some years to realise that the class clown was not dumb, was an incredibly intelligent and talented person who had no fucks left to give because of his homelife. He copped it badly at home from all sides. The ignorance of youth as students but also that of the school is astonishing. I didn't know any better but the school should have. I recall him leaving Chemistry for counselling sessions and laughing about it and how he made up different stories to suit different counsellors.
I last caught up with him some 20 years ago so nothing current but he was on his own and doing nicely, low stress and happy.
I am sad I was a cunt like everyone else and just ignored him for the most part, too tied up in my own world.
Thats because most migrants are as racist as most Australians.A lot of migrant folks, or descendants of fresh migrants basically have no idea what all the fuss is about. For them someone coming in to take you country over is a fact of life and that's why they packed up and came here.
Are you calling me a banana, you guai lo?Thats because most migrants are as racist as most Australians.
Well I’m glad we can all be bundled in together. It is easier if we just assume all non-indigenous are racist.Thats because most migrants are as racist as most Australians.
Lol haha yeah that's true. So if whites are racist, migrants are also racist, who is left lol?Thats because most migrants are as racist as most Australians.
While he painted with a wide brush, I’ll add my personal observations/generalisation of growing up in a small country town....Well I’m glad we can all be bundled in together. It is easier if we just assume all non-indigenous are racist.
