We get that you find it fascinating but this is very real to that young woman who was raised with that heartbreak, and watching that so-called interviewer treat it like juicy gossip is infuriating

      Stephanie Dersnah Not going to answer me? I stopped saying “shut up” to people when I was about 10 years old, and I never said it to people I didn’t know, particularly if they weren’t even addressing me or anyone I knew. I wasn’t raised that way. So, my question to you is this: Do your parents know you are getting on RUclips and telling perfect strangers to “shut up” because they wrote something that you didn’t like, even though it wasn’t even addressed to, nor concerned you?

    Now out in the American West we had something similar. The Native American children were taken from there families forced into boarding schools to force them to ditch their ways of live. Really cruel, in a way the Native Americans and Aboriginals are both victims of a government brought up in their own lands. It shows how cruel civilization is.

    We definitely have a long way to go, this really feels like that missing puzzle piece that connects all of the problems in the indigenous communities, the scary thing is.. I don't know where to start or how we are going to fix any of this or even if we can.

      The half caste children who were taken by the government child welfare authorities. These partly white children had larger brains than the pure aboriginal mother. The larger brain is more susceptible to neglect and improper nutrition. Such children could not be left to *an alcoholic mother with an IQ of perhaps 60,* that's 10 points below the limit for medically defined mental retardation. The white authorities were compelled to protect these children.
      * * * *
      Australia was unoccupied by a civilisation in 1788. The aborigines of 250 years ago were a stone age people. These 'pure' aborigines have an average IQ of about 64. That means that intellectually, the average aborigine was equivalent to a 9-10 year old European child. There were many tribes and different very primitive languages. No writing. No husbandry. No numbers beyond 5 etc.
      Even their average cranial capacity is 2/3 that of Europeans. That is why pure aborigines are rarely seen. The ones we see are the 0 --> 10% aboriginals who campaign for more privileges.
      Many mostly white people just call themselves aboriginal so they can dip their snouts into the money trough. Australian taxpayers pay about $35 billion per year paying for privileges given to people who call themselves aboriginals.
      Full aboriginals are confined to distant settlements because they have an extremely low IQ and a deficient immune system. They need help, but they are rarely seen.
      Read this article:
      www.heraldsun.com.au/blogs/andrew-bolt/column---white-is-the-new-black/news-story/2d639a94bb361ca786b9b2c171a4da04
      * * * *
      Most of the full aboriginals died after colonisation because the humans who came to Australia unknowingly brought in diseases, such as bubonic plague, chickenpox, hepatitis, tetanus, cholera, the common cold, diphtheria, influenza, malaria, measles, scarlet fever, sexually transmitted diseases, polio, typhoid, typhus, tuberculosis, and pertussis (whooping cough), etc. *These diseases killed most of the full aboriginals.*
      The only reason any full aboriginals are alive and healthy is because of white people developed antibiotics and vaccines. White people looking after them in their remote settlements.

    I migrated here from England i was part of the British ''stolen generation'' Where half a million of us young ones were forcibly taken from our parents. As Australian children and British child migrants we suffered years of neglect and abuse in orphanages and state and religious institutions.
    Some mothers of the ''white stolen generations'' are dead. Others are dying. Many live in despair, still longing for the chance to hold their baby, to see its face, to rewrite their sad history. It really gets under my skin that these events rarely get mentioned, not to mention the Maltese ''stolen generation'' to. I feel for the indigenous kids and what they went through to. My personal story still haunts me to this day, i am now 65 yrs old.

      There are only 45,000 full blooded Indigenous Australians left. This is because our ancestors have actually been colonised and we are now an endangered race and culture due to being "bred to extinction" in our own native country.
      Racism is considered normal and I don't appreciate how demeaning your comment is to an Indigenous race.

      @@seaworldsocialartslecturer4160 From wiki: en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stolen_Generations. Read em it and weep, Nigel Fuckface:
      The report discovered that removed children were, in most cases, placed into institutional facilities operated by religious or charitable organisations. A significant number, particularly females, were "fostered" out. Children taken to such institutions were trained to be assimilated to Anglo-Australian culture. Policies included punishment for speaking their local Indigenous languages. The intention was to educate them for a different future and to prevent their being socialised in Aboriginal cultures. The boys were generally trained as agricultural labourers and the girls as domestic servants; these were the chief occupations of many Europeans at the time in the largely rural areas outside cities.[14]
      A common aspect of the removals was the failure by these institutions to keep records of the actual parentage of the child, or such details as the date or place of birth. As is stated in the report:
      the physical infrastructure of missions, government institutions and children's homes was often very poor and resources were insufficient to improve them or to keep the children adequately clothed, fed and sheltered.[26]
      The children were taken into care purportedly to protect them from neglect and abuse. However, the report said that, among the 502 inquiry witnesses, 17% of female witnesses and 7.7% of male witnesses reported having suffered a sexual assault while in an institution, at work, or while living with a foster or adoptive family.[26]

    I've met so many absolutely beautiful indigenous people. I used to be kinda scared of them in my late teens early 20's walking the streets of the city in Brisbane at night hearing how they stab, bash and rob people all the time, I'd see them hanging out on the park benches in the dark with dark skin hardly noticeable and drinking lots, and I believe that fear was felt by them and they'd curse at me as I tried walking past without acknowledging them. Ever since I grew up a bit more and learned the oneness we all share and overcome fear I had not only toward them but most people due to being bullied HEAPS in school and by older siblings and subsequently progressing with martial arts beyond black belt, that's when I started realizing how beautiful they are like most people i was scared of. To be honest, I'm slightly envious of their rich culture, tribal ways and strong sense of community, they look after each other a lot! and they were homeostatic unlike us where we're just destructive basically. In our white culture our greed and naivety has brought about so much murder and harm to earth all to have us separate (independent), mentally ill with depression, OCD, anxiety, fear and so on, resulting in comfort eating, drinking, binge watching netflix etc, rather than getting healthy or doing anything productive. I still feel gut wrenching guilt and shame for my heritage to this day and I think a lot of other whites do too, so much so that it's too uncomfortable to confront head on, it's just a reaaal slow process to which we're mostly all doing almost everything in our power to turn our heads and run from in the aforementioned escapism's, myself included. But I do hope to be a better person and I take certain steps to do so, and my heritage is actually German and Welsh so who knows what stupid atrocities are in my blood line :(

Sure we'd have the come down that lasts a few days, but the public would be educated on healthy ways to mitigate most of that and to have a regulated dose with regulated ingredients in the first place would make all the difference. A crazy idea, but it beats everyone putting their head in the sand feeling like life is a horrible thing you've got to grind or battle through without joy or love or connection. Even if that is a stupid idea, the point remains that something radical needs doing and it simply won't, our progression will continue with little baby steps at crrrrrazy slow speeds with major voids in logic - and that's our monarchy.

      He explains that it was like meeting a bunch of strangers all bar one brother who was in the boys home with him.
      Nowadays he and his siblings are inseparable, when one moves to another town or area they all do, if it's a cause for celebration everyone makes an effort.
      To see the way they are now you would think they'd been together their whole lives.
      My father is in his early 60's and has only recently been able to discuss this part of his life with me.
      He sleeps with a light on due ti being locked in cupboards as punishment and cleans like his life depends on it due to the training as a domestic servant.

    This could easily be talking about Canada. I have a number of First Nations kids in my classroom and we have a strong indigenous influence in our school. I am teaching about Australia now in my grade 7 Social Studies class and comparing Australia to Canada. I think it has been eye opening, especially to my indigenous students, to understand that what had happened to their grandparents and great grandparents has happened almost identically across the globe in Australia.

      How does it seem to affect them? On the one hand I can imagine that it might help in that they don't feel so alone in their situation. But on the other hand it could worsen the situation by making them think that unless your skin is lilly white in colour you will be treated very poorly. In reality, not too far from the truth? I have long known that we in Australia have treated our indigenous people abysmally and until the last 2 or 3 decades I thought Canada had treated the indigenous there pretty well. But, apparently not.

The larger brain is more susceptible to neglect and improper nutrition. Such children could not be left to *an alcoholic mother with an IQ of perhaps 60,* that's 10 points below the limit for medically defined mental retardation. The white authorities were compelled to protect these children.

All of which have had, and still continue to have a detremential affect on the health and well-being of Indigenous people all around the world. Previous government policies assimilated and endoctrinated Aboriginal people and this country (Australia) was built on systematic racism.. A lost culture and identity for many..

    :2 a different girl in that tribe only 8 years old was already claimed by another man as his wife!. Also shagging family members was rife. Children weren't stolen they were put under the best protective care at the time.
    Back in 2002 when I was 13 my younger sister and our white family had an Aboriginal exchange student from Palm Island, she was 11 or 12 and trying to seduce me with sex she thought we were rich, I liked her but at 13 and no knowledge of carnal intercourse but she had far more knowledge of sex she was switching off the lights and pulling her pants down , but I thought it was a wierd game! I kept switching the light back on!
    I didn't take advantage nothing occurred she even hunted me down at my job 5 years later she had become a flight stewardess. Wouldn't matter how good looking she was a girl at 11 or 12 shouldn't be so sexually active naturally unless her family members- the males made her so.

    Australia has a deep horrible history that is painful to read and watch videos about.

      Why do you discriminate between white people and "my people" as if both are different and both need different treatment? Isn't this what's wrong with the world?

    Up until 1970s Australia was the biggest producer of sugar cane with no slaves. We never had slaves. We mechanised and were ahead of every country. No Aboriginals helped we occasionally found a small amount of labour from the surrounding islands and pages them 10 times what they could earn at home, forgot that part didn't you?

    Even with the events of stolen generation many family's can't move on they have lost their knowledge, languages and stories.!!
    The only thing I can see from this is that we should move on, forward and all be at peace with each other... I have a best friend who is Australian white and we have come face to face with Racism. Some people need to leave the past behind us and build a better future

    Koori people need to understand that under colonial maritime law, we are all but chattels to barter, goods to sell and trade. Life is a real bitch right, we aren't even a sovereign nation anymore but a corporate entity. Understand this very simple concept, and yu will go along way to understanding the state of play today, and why the system we have is deaf and mute. Nothing has really changed only the rhetoric.
