Here we have, Matty, parroting his bullshit about Cannibalism amongst modern day Indigenous Australians, all without any proof. He throws in names, a few accounts from other a century ago and assumes we should believe him. The skeptical amongst us keep asking for evidence. Does he provide any? No, he doesn't, he just keeps on parroting his bullshit. He acts like a mentally deranged Racist. Tsk, tsk, tsk...
So this is lies?
Mr. White has informed me that the natives south of
the Carpentarian Gulf also are cannibals to some extent.
They never kill anybody for the purpose of eating him, but
the women eat those who die a natural death ; near Moreton
Bay the dead are also eaten, and by their own relatives.
In Western Queensland, at Westlands station on Thompson
river, a woman belonging to a tribe of civilised blacks gave
birth to a so-called half-caste child— that is, the offspring of a
black m other and a white father.
Such half-breeds are not
as a rule much liked, and are therefore usually killed by the
blacks who are in the first stages of civilisation. In this
instance the blacks had indeed been in long intercourse
with white people, and still the child was killed. It was
perm itted to live about three weeks, but one day one of the
men put his hand round its neck and held it up till it was
choked to death. Thereupon it was roasted on the fire and
distributed among those present, and eaten most greedily.
Many of the white people at the station were witnesses of
this event. It is not known whether the mother in this
instance ate any of the flesh of her child or not.Among cannibals : an account of four years' travels in Australia and of camp life with the Aborigines of Queensland / by Carl Lumholtz
