Oh come off it freak
I have posted so many times about Pascoe and his lies, go look for yourself.
He is a pom
He has no aboriginal blood in him
He falsely claimed that his grandmother was an abbo , but when the people he allegedly belonged to were spoken to they denied his claim.
He has roots in England and absolutely ZERO true knowledge of aboriginal culture.
The man is a chronic liar.
Any idiot who believes anything he states or says is even more stupid than stupid.
But I guess as long as its pro abbo, you can say anything and get away with it.
Tell the truth about their propensity for DV, pedophilia, laziness or chronic unemployment and you are called a liar despite all the available evidence.
It all depends on what you want to hear.
It doesn't matter what we want to hear, dear, it matters what Pascoe says:
Quote:Professor Pascoe has acknowledged his links are distant, writing in his latest essay collection Salt that “clinical analysis of genes says I’m more Cornish than Koori''.
“I am sure a lot of non-Aboriginal people think that pale-skinned Aboriginal people shouldn’t identify, especially when it goes back to great grandmothers and great grandfathers and I understand that,” Professor Pascoe told The Sunday Age.
“I think Australians have the right to know that Aboriginal people who claim to be Aboriginal are actually Aboriginal but I think that conversation needs to be a decent conversation.”
Professor Pascoe told The Sunday Age it seemed to be a “common ploy” to question the identity of Aboriginal people but the community he belonged to was “totally supportive”.
“If they decided you had to have a percentage of blood quantum to be declared an Aborigine or go on some sort of register (and) I wasn’t on it, my life wouldn't change at all because I am so deeply involved in the community and the community expect me to be involved,” he said.
But it also matters what the community says:
Quote:The widely accepted definition of Indigenous heritage in Australia comprises three parts: self-identification, evidence of descent and community recognition.
Yuin elder, Pastor Ossie Cruse, questioned why Professor Pascoe’s Aboriginality was being disputed when he was accepted by his community.
“It does concern me because I don’t think anybody needs that, what’s the gain in it, particularly a person who has really had a hard life and found out they were of Aboriginal descent,” Pastor Cruse told The Sunday Age.
https://www.smh.com.au/national/bruce-pascoe-says-aboriginality-queries-an-attem...But this is not the point. I don't care whether Pascoe's Aboriginal or not. The point is this, from the same article:
Quote:“I am not saying Aboriginal people were like white farmers, what I am saying is they were engaged in a form of food production which is unlike hunting and gathering. We did hunt, we did gather, we still do,” Professor Pascoe said.
As Marcia Langton says, Pascoe has shown his references, he's made his case. There are no lies going on, just read the citations.
Now you, Matty, choose not to read. You can't even be bothered to come up with a source to make your case. And that's okay.
But all this leaves you is posts full of frothing hyperbole: "freak, stupid, liar, DV, pedophilia, laziness or chronic unemployment."
That's just a whole lot of words. It's not constructive, and it tells where you're posting from; your point.
Your point here is just to vomit on Aborigines. You couldn't care less about the issues or the debate, you just want to launch bile - an endless, bigoted diatribe with no actual substance or any knowledge of what you're discussing.
Me? I dont know either. Pascoe's written a book about traditional Aboriginal land management practices, and I think it's time we started to take the time to learn.
Deforestation, irrigation and phosphate farming have caused most of our agricultural land to go barren. It's not just me saying this, it's farmers themselves. Add global warming and we have more droughts, more bushfires, erosion, rivers turned dry and the near destruction of the Great Barrier Reef.
I think it's time we listened to those who looked after the place for 50,000 years, and I'm not alone. Plenty of farmers, scientists, agricultural associations and rural organisations agree. We'd like a nice, safe, happy country we can all live in, nor the angry, f
ucked up, racist one you're all about.
Why would I care if Pascoe's a Boong?
