Ethics teacher stood down stolen generations

[Neferti]

Assimilation! Aboriginals do not assimilate.

What about all the little white "orphan" kids from England who were sent out here on ships during/after WW2 and told that their parents had died in"the war". They too, got put with Missionaries and suffered various abuse and sexual stuff.

Yep sure did. However, they have been compensated for that, whereas the Stolen Generations are still being questioned if what occurred to them, actually occurred to them, Neferti. There is an interesting comparison between the White "Orphans" and the Stolen Generations here. Read it.

Brian, now you are trying to prove that the saved gener... oops, I mean "stolen generations" actually existed? OK boyo. No wuckers. But that is not the subject on this topic. I double dog dare you to start a new topic so that I can tear you a new arsehole. Unlike you, Brian, I study my subjects. I don't just accept an ideology and then look for spurious "facts" to support it.

Read what I said here and your queries will be answered, Bogan.

If you want to abuse your responsibility as a teacher paid for by the State and tell lies, well what can I say, Bobby?

It wasn't a lie - it was the truth.
Those poor kids were being abused by their drunken parents.

What didn't you understand in my original statement, Bobby? Do you need it explained to you? The Government(s) admitted what had occurred - they admitted the reasons why the kids were removed and "drunkeness" as not one of the reasons given.

That wasn't the reason given at the time.
Abusing grog was the reason.
The reason is now changed to suit a
more progressive agenda.

The reasons were given at the time. I suggest you read the report Bringing Them Home from the Australian Human Rights Commission. It is the basis on which the whole Stolen Generations idea is based. It will do you some good to actually get some facts.

It was the truth -
just like the emergency under Howard -
Abbo kids with VD - 5 year olds!
They have to be removed from their parents who do nothing but drink grog and molest kids.

Read my last post, Brian, if you want to start a "stolen generations" topic go right ahead. But I will not respond to any more demands that I validate my opinion that the so called "stolen generations" is a hoax because we are getting too far off topic.

$24 million. Which compared to what the Stolen Generations have had to fight for, is a whole lot more.

Estimating the numbers removed

The 1994 Australian Bureau of Statistics survey of Aborigines and Torres Strait Islanders revealed 10% of people aged 25 and above had been removed in childhood (1995a page 2). Such surveys cannot capture the experiences of those people whose Aboriginality is now unknown even to themselves.

Nationally we can conclude with confidence that between one in three and one in ten Indigenous children were forcibly removed from their families and communities in the period from approximately 1910 until 1970. In certain regions and in certain periods the figure was undoubtedly much greater than one in ten. In that time not one Indigenous family has escaped the effects of forcible removal (confirmed by representatives of the Queensland and WA Governments in evidence to the Inquiry). Most families have been affected, in one or more generations, by the forcible removal of one or more children.

Running scared are you? Oh, dearie, dearie, me. Tsk, tsk. OK, lets start a new thread, just for you, hey?

Judge's 'clearly offensive' Indigenous parenting barb subject of complaint consideration

By Jacqueline Breen

A previously-reprimanded judge who accused a woman appearing before him of abandoning her children in "that great Indigenous fashion" to go and drink alcohol may find his "clearly offensive" comments the subject of a formal complaint, a peak legal body in the Northern Territory has said
