Not arguing.
If you are unable to respect basic cultural standards, it's a refection on you. No one else.



I still can't see how anyone would find that funny.

A talented man is dead, at a very young age, and all Gordon can do is use his death as a means of pushing his own racist agenda.

It's really quite disgusting.

Why should I respect some oooggy boogy belief just because it's aboriginal when I have zero respect for the stupidity of Christian, Muslim or any religion.
Are you doing the noble savage thing?

An earlier tune, from his Yothu Yindi days.

Co-written by Paul Kelly and an ex-politician.

Yeah - good song.

This thread wasn't suppose to be about you ... or was it?

By having vision and speaking a person's name, you are impeding them.

It's bad enough Aboriginal Australian's being regularly ethnically profiled, over statistically being incarcerates, dying way too young, and so on.
This last insult is a step too far.

Come on, put away your racist hate ... just for today ... and delete the videos.

I thought you were an atheist. Do you give more credence for tribal religions?

It's not even a little bit about my beliefs, Gordy.

I wish you could adopt so conscientious a view point. But alas, i've never seen any even remote evidence from you that you would be capable of doing so.

“May he have many happy travels among his ancestors.”

Sort of like saying Rest in Peace when we know the person is gone and the body will rot in the earth.

So happy travels is a nice way of saying RIP for an aboriginal.

He had a beautiful tone to his voice, and his songs were beautifully soulful and will endure into the future.

He made a (big) difference.

God bless him.

Aw gawd this bloke died young because of a childhood infection.

The NT Labor government wants to spend $50mill on a useless "Stolen generation " museum.

Perhaps if they spend the 50 mil on better care we would not have the 17 year life expectancy gap.

But labor want to suck up to the 10% black arm band aboriginals and not really care about the rest.

It wasn't his ... so your memory is stuffed.  Grin

He is the nephew of Yothu Yindi frontman Mandawuy Yunipingu.

Mandawuy died of renal failure as a consequence of diabetes at age 56 in 2013.

Gurramul has died of similar liver & kidney disease aged 46.

Too young for both but it's a very prevalent cause of early deaths in our Indigenous population ... even in remote communities where you would think their diets may be a little more natural with less access to junk foods etc.

Yeah - good song.



He was a member of Yothu Yindi for a time but he is not known for anything to do with Treaty.

That fame belongs to the bands leader & his uncle Mandawuy Yinipingu.
