That is not what you entitled the thread? The stolen generation was an attempt at genocide to create a white Australia by cross-breeding Aboriginals out of Australia. No, it was not. For a start, only a small percentage of that generation was rescued stolen Please study the word 'attempt' in your dictionary. The process was unsuccessful in stifling the aboriginal culture out of stolen black children who became shunned in both white and black society. Weren't many of these children "stolen" because their parents weren't looking after them? Not so darling. They were stolen with the purpose of genocide by eliminating Aboriginal society and culture. Did you see the movie 'Rabbit-proof fence'? Stolen Aboriginal children were abused and trained to be domestic servants. The movie 'Rabbit-Proof Fence' was a work of complete fiction. Gizmo is a work of complete fiction. Rabbit-proof fence was based on true story. No, it is not. I am calling you out Gizmo as a willful purveyor of total fiction. You are actually worse than that. http://www.rogerebert.com/reviews/rabbit-proof-fence-2002"The most astonishing words in "Rabbit-Proof Fence" come right at the end, printed on the screen as a historical footnote. The policies depicted in the movie were enforced by the Australian government, we are told, until 1970. Aboriginal children of mixed race were taken by force from their mothers and raised in training schools that would prepare them for lives as factory workers or domestic servants. More than a century after slavery was abolished in the Western world, a Western democracy was still practicing racism of the most cruel description.The children's fathers were long gone--white construction workers or government employees who enjoyed sex with local aboriginal women and then moved on. But why could the mixed-race children not stay where they were? The offered explanations are equally vile. One is that a half-white child must be rescued from a black society. Another was that too many "white genes" would by their presumed superiority increase the power and ability of the aborigines to cause trouble by insisting on their rights. A third is that, by requiring the lighter-skinned children to marry each other, blackness could eventually be bred out of them. Of course it went without saying that the "schools" they were held in prepared them only for menial labor." Below is an excerpt from Wikipedia evidencing the truth of the story. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rabbit-Proof_Fence_%28film%29 Quote:Rabbit-Proof Fence is a 2002 Australian drama film directed by Phillip Noyce based on the book Follow the Rabbit-Proof Fence by Doris Pilkington Garimara. It is loosely based on a true story concerning the author's mother Molly, as well as two other mixed-race Aboriginal girls, who ran away from the Moore River Native Settlement, north of Perth, Western Australia, to return to their Aboriginal families, after being placed there in 1931. The film follows the Aboriginal girls as they walk for nine weeks along 1,500 miles (2,400 km) of the Australian rabbit-proof fence to return to their community at Jigalong, while being pursued by white law enforcement authorities and an Aboriginal tracker.[2]
