They will for out for this before books or even school lunch for the kiddies. Being postcolonial aborigines on welfare is thirsty work.
And even when they fulfill meaningful work to contribute to society, you complain.
What's more, you drag them down to the absolute basest point.
You have no intention of ever seeing First Nations people with positive regard, no matter what they do. No matter how many Olympians, Archibald Prize winners, successful authors, poets, artists, doctors, scientists, tenured professors, nurses, entrepreneurs, etc.
None of this will make you associate the word Aboriginal with anything other that Gordy's picture with the VB cans.
If you had any idea how poorer you are for that, you'd be ashamed.
Who taught aborigines to read and write? To be poets, doctors, nurses, scientists?

In fact ALL the many, many boons and blessings of civilisation. You know, the civilisation that Abo activist spend their lives repudiating and blaming for some Abos STILL being like wolves to each other.
That's what all the Zimmer frames are chucked at here and on other threads like this.
The achievements due to assimilation and the entering into the modern world are natural and welcome. Migrants can do it, Aborigines can and do do it.
The constant carping, blaming, kvetching about postcolonial bs is not. Stop drinking, stop beating the wife, make sure the kiddies complete school anc do become doctors and nurses and poets. Don't blame whitey for your violence and drinking and child abuse.
Geddit?
realise that not all Aboriginal people are drunk wife-beaters and not all drunk wife-beaters are Aboriginal people, yeah?
Far from it, in fact.
Your comments are pure racist ignorance.
