A interesting tweet from a indigenous friend

[chuckChuck]

Landownunder drew a slight parallel with Canada.

And it's not hard to find Aboriginals on the internet in Australia who disagree with the statement that they are over colonization

It's a bit of laugh that Landownunder thinks he can be a spokesperson for all Australian aboriginals based on the comments on his twitter account?

And the parallel between indigenous Canada and Aboriginal Australia is not slight its very strong.

Your complete lack of self awareness is truly a sight to behold!

Landownunder quoted just one tweet from a "proud black fella" Just one! So that must be the truth? Or just the one Downunder agrees with? LOL

"This behaviour has nothing to with colonization. It has everything to do with entitlement"

That's his opinion, but the assumption that this likely represents the range of opinions of all aboriginals is a bit of stretch. Most twitter comments were about the bad behaviour.

But it's a complete pile of BS by anyone to say that the impact of colonization has nothing to to do with the present day lives of first nations in Canada or Aboriginals in Australia.

Of course many people who share a certain point of view, want to deny the wrongs and sweep the history under the rug and forget about it.

But at least in Canada, Conservative Prime Minister Harper apologized for the harm and legacy of residential schools based on the Truth and Reconciliation commission findings.

But try to keep denying that none of this had anything to do with colonization.

weve had quite a few apologies over the years.

That went right over his head. I wonder if he ever bothers to read what he posts? He's literally guilty of the very thing he's accusing others of doing, and hasn't got the slightest clue, even when you so tactfully brought it to his attention, just doubled down instead.

So funny how some people can’t avoid dog whistles with animalistic devotion. With chat gpt now you wonder what was Glenn has been uploaded into ai to spew the same stuff. Then again some fellow lefties whom we both know are just as entrenched so I it’s still old Glenn on his one man crusade fighting all the wrongs by acting like the evil people he fights.

all good glenn.

was just trying to point out many indigenous have different opinions.

i wish i could find a video on youtube i watched about two years ago , it was a native talking and he said most of their problems are their own fault

[chuckChuck]

Did I say indigenous people don't have a variety of opinions? Nope.

And Downunder I think you were well meaning, but you posted one guy's opinion when we know there are people who disagree with the aboriginal guy who said it was all just "entitlement" and had nothing to do with Australia's colonial past. Why just focus on the opinion you probably agree with but ignore the other opinions you might not agree with?

And of course there are a lot people like Crop grower who want to believe that first nations have caused a lot of their own problems and don't want to admit that colonization, racism and government policies have anything to do with the present day realities of first nations.

I have said it many times. It is a shared responsibility to make the lives of first nation people better. That means they have some responsibility and so does everyone else.
