So by your reasoning, the predominant proportional mass shooter Blacks feel they should be the ruling class and surfing the wave of the American Dream - fame and fortune - by birthright?
Of course, for millions of them, they're nobodys (sic) ... and yet the narrative says that as Blacks they are somebodies?
Is that .... like... you know... Australian Abos thinking they should be the ruling class, have private hunting lodges over vast territories and private spiritual retreats accessible only to them etc anywhere they choose, have separate and private governments and unequal access to politics, and multi tiered justice to suit them only, and feeling they have every right to go to war to gain those things, and riot and burn and vandalise things and even attack others?
Nobodys (sic) eh, professor! I was referring to a class of people - the nobody class - to be of that class would make them one of the nobodys.
Somewhat similar to the American experience (but without the religiosity), Australia was originally populated by the British underclasses who found themselves genetically part of the ruling class (except maybe for the Irish in both America and Australia)... complete with their very own locally-provided underclass - a dark-skinned people - to persecute.
Ah, then you should have said Nobodys..... the capital distinguishes... while extinguishing false reading...
Your narrative is flawed - most Early Settlers did not perceive of themselves as any ruling class - but as the dogs bodies of Australia... especially the convicts. What many of them had was anger and motivation to improve their lot in life.... TOG's ancestor - one of - was sent her on a convict ship - she lead a revolt of the women onboard over some men being given unfettered access to the women, and suffered as a result.... she moved on from there, in company with several serial men - to eventually hold lands in the Snowies region... in which countless of her descendants remain to this day.
She had an ambition to be more than just an indolent on the land....
My forebears arrived here basically in the 1850's - though some married into earlier families so the actual lineage is a little confused - and both sides set about building businesses and prospering... rather than being indolent layabouts on the land.
Basically I should be able - under an equal handling of rights - to 'land claim' most of the best parts of Australia... along the East Coast... after all my ancestors lived there and traveled the land there etc..... all the way from North Queensland down to Melbadishu ...
How many generations here make anyone 'Indigenous'? Are the Ukraines, with a lot of admixture of other groups, not considered Indigenous to their country?
