Abos sinking in 'rivers of grog'
Apr 3, 2011 12:34 AM | By Ben Trovato

Australians. You gotta love 'em. Not only do they welcome most of our darkiephobes with open arms, but they have just launched their very first national health campaign aimed at Aborigines. I expect this came in the wake of some kind of debate in parliament.

Government: "Anyone notice there not so many Abos round about no more?"

Opposition: "Yeah, mate!"

Government: "We oughta do something."

Opposition: "Yeah, let's kill off the rest of them black bastards!"

Eternally sensitive to the needs of the indigenous population, the government has invested $42 in a television advertising campaign warning Aborigines that smoking will kill them. They have already conducted a campaign warning Aborigines that drinking will kill them, and then handed out barrels of cheap gin to soften the blow.
When white people invaded Australia in 1788, they compensated the Aborigines with alcohol, tobacco, syphilis and repeated blows to the head. The locals, who had already been hanging about for 60000 years prior to the raising of the British flag at Sydney Cove, welcomed the change of pace.

After all, it must have been quite exciting seeing white people for the very first time. It was for me. The excitement probably wore off when their children were forcibly snatched from them to be "properly" raised by Christian missionaries and the barren wives of government men.

As recently as this week, Aboriginal leaders urged Prime Minister Julia "Gila Monster" Gillard to meet them in Alice Springs. Elders from the outpost begged the government to help them stop a wave of violence fuelled by what they called "rivers of grog". Gillard said she couldn't make it. Something about a hair appointment.

Meanwhile, the Queen of Australia, who moonlights as the Queen of England, said that while she would "love to help the first drunk people of Australia", she was "frightfully busy" supporting her son Charles in his endeavour to hunt and kill enough red foxes to give the homeless "a little furry something from the palace" on the day of William's marriage to the commoner Catherine.

What can I say?

Austriphobe?

I could say quite a bit. I know that was meant to be humorous but I get very tired of the misinformation about the aborigines. But I tend to bite my lip nowadays because saying anything that doesn't toe the politically correct line is not 'allowed' nowadays and it's just not worth the arguing any more.



>>> Adding this edit about three hours after the above post to say: I didn't mean the above to be so short and blunt, but was in a hurry when I wrote it. I'm not anti-aboriginal and in fact am not anti- any race or culture, so apologies if it sounded like that from my comment. I just get annoyed with activists or politicians etc spreading misinformation for whatever their own agendas are. The usual stuff, which was why I said it isn't worth arguing. On reading it back it looks like I was saying it wasn't worth arguing about it with people here, which wasn't what I meant at all. And I probably shouldn't have written it, and if I'd had a couple more minutes to slow down and engage my brain I wouldn't have written it - but now that it's been posted on the board for a while I don't want to delete it either

It's 12.30 in the morning and I have a plane to catch tomorrow, so my head is having a bit of a tizzy at the moment

I have to agree. On my books we have a young aboriginal man, who gets fuelled up on ice and speed, and goes out and assaults people. He has no less than seven services involved in his care, with them all falling over themselves to make things good for him. He just takes the piss and gets away scot free. last week I was told by care and protection that they were determined to get him off his assault charge and they wanted me to write a report stating that due to his mental health issues he was not responsible for beating someone up. When I declined I was told; "You have to, he's an indigenous person."

"...

Ben Trovato wants people to know that his column is meant to be funny and asks if they would stop with the death threats now.

Blowing up his car might be meant to be funny too.

I'd have a chuckle at it.

Our indigenous population gets tons of stuff for free. Free college, money, etc etc. Their culture has been ruined, and too many of their lives are on a course to nowhere.

We white folks made it all possible but they perpetuate it.

The idea that the Australian should be overwhelmed by guilt for invading what now is called Australia is silly. The people that settle in Australia did not do anything that had not been done numerous times all over the world. The black people in southern Africa have not always lived there; they came from the north and slaughter and drove out the brown skinned aborigines of the area.
The Japanese came from the Asian mainland defeated and gradually drove north honkiod Ainu.

The Anglo Saxon English have not always lived southern Britain they cane from the area around what is now Northwest Germany. They came, seized the land and drove Gob’s people into the western mountains. Is that not ethnic cleaning? Doesn’t Gob not deserves reparations? Gob think about all the compounded interest for a thousand five hundred years.

The Australians have nothing to be ashamed of and they shouldn’t feel guilty and knuckle under for something for which they have no responsibility.

If by perpetuate you mean, they suffer from what's been inflicted on them.

As my daughter might say, history sometimes is a bitch. That is why it is a good idea to make your own history. Nothing can be done about the past what is done is done, but what one does today is tomorrow’s history. Strive to be all you can be and encourage your people to strive for excellence in all things of honor, duty and humanity.

Don't forget to fight against the discrimination and bigotry.
