This interviewer really needs to work on her interviewing skills and her empathy. Sitting there smiling and interrupting with "No way!" while the woman is sharing something difficult and close to home is really inappropriate! 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
Always sounds so ignorant when a person says, “ Well racism was a long time ago.” This happened just in the 70s and I’m sure they’re still recovering from this.
Erica Smith Actually this law, and yes it was a literal Law in Australia, the act of removing half-caste aboriginal children from their homes, was practiced until the late 80’s. Look it up.
@@missbell5876 Thank was my thing too, everytime this woman was about to add something, the interviewer had to interject with a comment. It's frustrating to watch.
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.
@@georgefloydsfake20dollarbi28 No I do know that the genocide was equally as bad in Latin America. I was actually visiting the Yucatán a few months back and saw the abandoned Mayan cities from when the Spanish came. I was only using the United States as an example but yes it was just as bad as in Latin America. Also there are still some tribes left in the Caribbean but their in small numbers.
@@burialbrigadevideos7498most of the genocide happened with germ warfare... They used diseases more than guns .... That's the crazy part... That's like an invisible weapon... I often wonder how come the Africans managed not to get wiped out by europeans diseases when they came in contact with them?
Africans were taken from their homeland and was forced to work for free on foreign soil and were forced ditch their ancestors' ways. This happened for generation after generation after generation, for centuries. Specifically, in Latin American countries there was an orchestrated attempt to genocide these Africans once they couldn't enslave them no longer. Argentina for example is one of those countries that "got ride" of the African population.
@@MermanFromRus "I think it's still better than segregation which took place in the US." I disagree. If it was trying to breed them into non existence it was far worse. Why do you think it was better?
Hl A absolute genocide! Aborigines were shot dead and there were no repercussion for the white man! They were hunted and killed, it WAS genocide! Learn TRUE HISTORY.
Thank you David, for visiting Pudakul. Hopefully you can visit again and see the changes we have at the billabong. My younger sister still works with us also and she is doing a great job 🙂🐢
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.
I can't began to imagine what a your childhood must have been like. I know that your pain and wounds must run deep. So sorry for your mistreatment by the hands of those who were supposed to help.Thank you for sharing.
My grandmother was stolen, we're only now just reconnecting with her side of the family... The wounds run deep, I myself am guilty of not really understanding the immense pain caused by colonialism until I've been forced to live through it. 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.
Alec O'Sullivan , feeling your pain from Africa. We are so grateful our ancestors figured out before it was too late. We are now rooting for South Africa and Im glad they are taking back their land
My Julby (great-grandmother) was part of the stolen generation, taken when she was a little girl. I only met her a few times, but she was really nice and looked after me.
@Troll FACE! I understand that the native American people's history may be more traumatic than ours, but at least there's still 5million of them left and they get recognition around the world of the trauma their ancestors have gone through, as well as the racism they still receive today. 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.
Whichay?! In one of the languages I’ve heard on the fly, “julby” means … well budoo. I couldn’t tell you which language as it wasn’t in my usual vocabulary of either Indingi, Tjapukai nor Kukuyanlanji. And I mean no disrespect to your great-granny, and apologise profusely if I’ve caused you any distress or offence. So which way tidda/budda, what language do your clan speak? I’m kukuyalanji and motuan (Papuan).
@SliochdnahEireann Kaya! No offence at all! It's actually so funny that it translates that way! I'm Karajarri from the Pilbra and I only know a few words from my tribe and also noongar!
@@melcake140 well I’m buma (or murri) on my mum’s side and we speak western-yalanji, but being in FNQ we also know a bit of Indinji and also Tjapukai. My dad is from PNG and is motuan. We speak Hiri-Motu which is a language based in both Melanesian and Polynesian like I can somewhat understand Māori and vice-versa, along with a few others. We just call each other by pigeon slang: “Wan-toks” (meaning like family or we are all similar and speak the same - I don’t know how to translate it properly to an English definition).
If I had a bucket list, going to Australia in hopes of getting a hug from Deanne Kenyon would be near the top. The stolen generation atrocity and the inexcusable treatment overall that Australia's original inhabitants have gotten from the outsiders who arrived in the last 4 centuries is beyond criminal.
EXTREMELY HEARTBREAKING! As a mom, I would have lost my mind just to know my children were taken away from me!!! Dear GOD in HEAVEN, this ugly world with such horrible things taking place to this day!!!
Because of u I just watched the trailer.i really am about to watch that.good recommendation.im from America and dont know much about Australia other than Crocodile Dundee funnel-web spiders and the Crocodile Hunter.didnt know about any struggle over there.
What's crazy is how recent all of this was still happening. You don't fix this. You can only try to recover. It will take generations, but one day, our great grandkids will have no genocidal and concentration camp stories to tell. Healing takes time and generations, but not having these experiences at all is the best way to feel equal to everyone.
As a mixed race person of European and North African heritage who grew up in a big European city without his brown dad, I've always been fascinated by indigenous cultures. Spent so much time this past year learning about aboriginal cultures and history. This was a tough watch. All power to this girl. I can't be the only one who thinks she's stunningly beautiful as well
I'm in the situation where my grandmother was raised by her white father alone. The more I look into the circumstances, the more I think it had a lot to do with the fact that her mother was of mixed ancestry. The paperwork for my family says my ancestors were Aboriginal - as you can imagine, this has changes hugely my and my mothers understanding of who we are.
That's great.. your part of the oldest living culture.!! If you every visit Darwin, NT visit our tours called Pudakul or email me and you can learn about cultural connections and valves etc.
After Belgian occupation in Africa, o think Australia indigenous had the worst of occupation of all colonists. My grandparents used to talk about British occupation and their heavy taxation that made them dirt poor. But then I learnt about congo, Australia then I realised my grandparents at least had their life even if they starved as they could ensure that their kids could see a better life.

@@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 :(
Just imagine if we had world ecstasy day once a year. Everyone loved up on the most pure of mdma (far healthier than alcohol, but illegal because our governments aren't particularly intelligent), the glimpse it would provide us would catapult us miles ahead in terms of connection. 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.
You shouldn't feel that guilt for what the religious had done and continue to do in other ways. If you belive in reincarnation, many people would have been black, yellow, white at many points in their lifetimes. Culture doesn't mean much when coming from that view. I was onto a point but lost it.. lol
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.
when were the photos taken? Because if the people in the photos have died, it's insensitive to aboriginal people not to show a warning saying that the program contains images of deceased people.
Jane Jones. Your refering to slavery? It's amazing and sickening how many Black families were torn apart, scattered all over the place. At least some of these people were able to re-connect with their families. Don't you just love it when history is rewritten and sugar coated, swept underneath the rug? So who actually benefits from this?
@@arethamorgan6613no. They couldn't. They were denied the ability to see their parents ever again. Families were torn apart, lost their culture, religion. Everything is gone. Forced race mixing, rape, enslavement, genocides, torture, forced labor, rape pregnancies, lynchings, hangings, shootings, and beatings. We lost approx. 140 million people.
Its just a shame to sit here as white in germany. I feel so bad without having done anything. And I think Thats The Problem - all the People who dont do anything feel sorry, but what about the people that did this to the Aboriginal People or in general to the black people on this earth.Why do the White People ever think they are the only real humans on earth? I just want to say sorry without having done anything and I can just hope that we will ever learn out of our mistakes.
It's not your fault that's just the human being in you who has empathy the history is ugly that's why its important for all of us to know what happened so that atrocities like this doesn't happen again at the end of the day we are all beings of this planet having an experience. Your no more or less a human being for being dumb,smart,black,white,short or tall all of us are born into our bodies and circumstance. If we all just have love and respect for each other i genuinely believe the world can be a better place.We don't need to treat each other out of malevolence for looking a little different .Thats the beauty of this planet.Much love peace be with you.
Go and read a copy of Kieth Windschuttle's book ' The Fabrication of Aboriginal history, vol 3, the stolen generations'. A copy should be available at public libraries
Very true, like the Native American, the Indigenous Canadians and the Indigenous New Zeland (Maori) us Australian Aboriginal people faced the same challenges due to past colonial events. 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.. Most Aboriginal people build self determination and fought for their own rights but there is still alot to be done..
We learnt about the “stolen generation” in school, but I remember the teachers would always try to sugarcoat everything. For example, we would watch movies (obviously with happy endings) instead of documentaries or true stories
They tried this here in South Africa. They failed dismally. Now they claiming there’s a white genocide happening, secretly conducted by the government. Guess where they running to? Australia.
Christian Johnson Taiwan has the Taiwanese aboriginals (in no relation to the Australian aboriginals), Japan has the ainu, and New Zealand has the Maoris
I’m doing a speech for naidoc week this week and im doing the stolen generation and the truth about our history and I love learning about it but it does make me quite sad to think that this happened to my people and my ancestors and that my family was apart of the stolen generation and I find out I have more family and cousins every day.
Are you also aware of the very ugly truths of how indigenous communities treated each other and other people groups, including the practises of Infantcide, the massacres of Innocent shipwreck survivors and cannibalism? Or are you only interested in the ugly truths done by non-indigenous people?

Growing up in Australia in the 80s from an ethnic background we won't taught at school about the real story of what happened to the first peoples, we were taught about dream time , only when you take time and listen to what really happened you have a real understanding of the suffering and the in justice they went through. Now I'm no leftist woke but I really feel for the aboriginal peoples. I don't care much about invasion day or the voice in parliament, though I think it's time for a proper treaty.
So who going to pay for those stolen children suffering today?what organization and the individuals that set up those organizations? their offspring that are still around today are the people that should be paying immediate restitution land Etc. That would be proper Justice.
Hi, there are many dynamics to this. All I will say is find a copy of Kieth Windschuttle book 'Fabrication of Aboriginal history, vol 3, the stolen generation'. It is very eye opening. His book goes into great detail about the whole child removals. He even reproduces the child welfare records for many of each child, whilst maintaining their privacy by not giving the identities.
I watched rabbit proof fence. And i was sobbing, I'm not indigenous to Australia but my great grandma was indigenous to North America and my grandpa was adopted out as a baby due to his father dying, we will never meet our native family.

Between 1882-1972, countless Aboriginals of Australia were taken from their parents, families, and communities and forcefully race mixed, lost their language, and culture.
One of the aboriginal men who became famous admitted he wasn't stolen, him and his sister were taken into protective child custody back in 1930 because the police officer observed that 1: a half-breed as the Aboriginals called them was a mut or cross breed according to the Aboriginal tribe so they were both shunted and abused. :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.
My ancestors we're taken from their homeland put on ships against their will and sent to Australia.Now I am seen as the same as the people that did this.Such is life.
The truth of the matter they weren't stolen they were taken away from abusive parents...... that's the case for every sad story that says they were stolen....
Unfortunately, what you didn't hear was many stories which balanced the "stealing" which were the numerous stories of neglect. Our former history teacher was Aboriginal and she was in one of the homes and when she went to the Stolen Generation conferences and told one of the conference organisers that her parents just didn't want her - and after that she was ignored by everyone who weren't interested in hearing such stories.
@@helloskitty3304 no - many, many bad parenting FACTS - and like this particular example are hidden and silenced in order to hide the truth that many of the children were badly neglected.
Correct, though unfortunately with today's cancel culture and those of the Marxist left wanting to prohibit the other side of the story, this sort of information is now censored and taken out of the debate, which is sadly akin to an authoritarian society.
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.
Made anything on the Norwegian State kidnapping children? A lot of people have compared what's currently going on in Norway to this, maybe it's worth to look in to.
My mother is white, in 1969 she gave birth to a white child, it was taken from her at the hospital. The reason was because she was not married, the father had died in a car crash. My mother's story is very common for that time period, there were very few single mothers, and people looked down upon them, race had nothing to do with it. It's the exact same thing with the stolen generation, kids were taken from unmarried single mothers. Today we never hear the end of it with the indigenous Australians, but nobody ever speaks about the white people this happened to. These double standards must stop, we are all Australian.
Then march. Protest. Create videos. Create a dialogue and go after your people for causing it in the first place. Don’t come at Indigenous people because we’re fighting for our causes. I feel for your mother but that’s not an Aboriginal problem, that’s a British/European problem.
@@vk88864 I actually come after both. We seem to both agree on the British/European problem, so I will only address the Aboriginal problem. The Aboriginals, are claiming money and benifits because of their race. These benifits cost my tax dollars that could go to better causes. I don't support anyone being treated better or worse based solely upon their race, that is the very definition of racism. I don't support compensation for something I did not do to people who were not victims, this us like asking today's Japanese to compensate America for Pearl Harbour, just the idea of this is silly. All I am asking for is exactly what Eddie Mabo wanted, equality, everyone treated the same.
Australia did have a 'white only policy' but was only for immigration, not for natives. The Australian government was Church of England not Roman Catholic. Church groups were working within the law which I believed said children in danger could be removed, but I believe their wasn't a law by the government for the removal of Children just because their were half-caste. Why their was half-caste, I'm not sure, but without sugar coating it, most of the convicts that were send to Australia were man???? Chruch of England didn't send convicts to Australia to convert them to Anglican, the head of state in England is the King, while in the Catholic Church the Pope is the head of state, when the Spanish went to America, well before the English it was because god sent them to convert them to Roman Catholic.
Australia belongs to the Aborigines the indigenous people of the land, the Europeans are mainly English and Irish and created racial divisions in Australia most of whites trace thier history back to the UK.
I’m mixed indigenous Australian and White Australian. I’m proud of both but my Great Pop was stolen as a kid which is why I live more of an European lifestyle and look white. Obviously now a days I don’t mind but it’s sad to think why I have the lighter skin
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?
Now we have incompetent parents and a social situation where the courts are frightened to take away kids who are in danger, or who resort to crime. Culturral change is needed but no one dsares talk about it.
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?
Unfortunately the milk trees are poisonous so to hear what happened to her grandmother or the tales of her Ethnic background is sad. It reminds me of #OprahWinfrey_Beloved film. We're in a time of learning in America our Mayor of #SanFranciscoCalifornia #MayorLondonBreedSanFrancisco,California is Australian Aboriginal.

No, Aboriginal people are Aboriginal people. They don’t make curries, don’t share the same religion or Gods. I’m sure Aboriginal People are just that. I think doing a DNA test would help clear things up.. but for now it’s all speculation...!

Stephanie Dersnah Did you actually tell me to “shut up”?
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.
@@georgefloydsfake20dollarbi28 No I do know that the genocide was equally as bad in Latin America. I was actually visiting the Yucatán a few months back and saw the abandoned Mayan cities from when the Spanish came. I was only using the United States as an example but yes it was just as bad as in Latin America. Also there are still some tribes left in the Caribbean but their in small numbers.
@@burialbrigadevideos7498most of the genocide happened with germ warfare... They used diseases more than guns .... That's the crazy part... That's like an invisible weapon... I often wonder how come the Africans managed not to get wiped out by europeans diseases when they came in contact with them?
Africans were taken from their homeland and was forced to work for free on foreign soil and were forced ditch their ancestors' ways. This happened for generation after generation after generation, for centuries.
Specifically, in Latin American countries there was an orchestrated attempt to genocide these Africans once they couldn't enslave them no longer. Argentina for example is one of those countries that "got ride" of the African population.
"It shows how cruel civilization is?" I am not aiming this question at you but what is so "civil" about how they built their Civilization. The irony.

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.

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.

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.

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.

@@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]

Coming from you and the claims you've just stated, that has got to be the most ironic statement I've seen in a while. Thanks for the laughs at your expense.
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 :(
Just imagine if we had world ecstasy day once a year. Everyone loved up on the most pure of mdma (far healthier than alcohol, but illegal because our governments aren't particularly intelligent), the glimpse it would provide us would catapult us miles ahead in terms of connection. 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.
I feel the pain for them and I'm British. I hope they find a way forward to heal. Beautiful indigenous people💗💗😇😇
You shouldn't feel that guilt for what the religious had done and continue to do in other ways. If you belive in reincarnation, many people would have been black, yellow, white at many points in their lifetimes. Culture doesn't mean much when coming from that view.

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.
I've heard that Canada had a similar policy during 1960-1980. Is it true ?

Where’s the entire interview
Chattel slavery here in America was similar.
Between 1882-1972, countless Aboriginals of Australia were taken from their parents, families, and communities and forcefully race mixed, lost their language, and culture.
One of the aboriginal men who became famous admitted he wasn't stolen, him and his sister were taken into protective child custody back in 1930 because the police officer observed that 1: a half-breed as the Aboriginals called them was a mut or cross breed according to the Aboriginal tribe so they were both shunted and abused.
: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.

The truth of the matter they weren't stolen they were taken away from abusive parents...... that's the case for every sad story that says they were stolen....
Unfortunately, what you didn't hear was many stories which balanced the "stealing" which were the numerous stories of neglect. Our former history teacher was Aboriginal and she was in one of the homes and when she went to the Stolen Generation conferences and told one of the conference organisers that her parents just didn't want her - and after that she was ignored by everyone who weren't interested in hearing such stories.
One bad parenting story makes up for a policy of genocide? Cool
This one time on band camp.. that’s what you sound like…!
@@helloskitty3304 no - many, many bad parenting FACTS - and like this particular example are hidden and silenced in order to hide the truth that many of the children were badly neglected.
@@helloskitty3304 Straw man. They said there are many stories, not just the one told in their comment.
Correct, though unfortunately with today's cancel culture and those of the Marxist left wanting to prohibit the other side of the story, this sort of information is now censored and taken out of the debate, which is sadly akin to an authoritarian society.
Many of them ended up dead bodies buried in school yards
Great and really interesting video. Could somebody tell me the name of the tree they took the sap from? Thx
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.
Made anything on the Norwegian State kidnapping children?
A lot of people have compared what's currently going on in Norway to this, maybe it's worth to look in to.
PMGames No but you should look into your own kind.
Pmstuff., who cares🤔
My mother is white, in 1969 she gave birth to a white child, it was taken from her at the hospital. The reason was because she was not married, the father had died in a car crash.
My mother's story is very common for that time period, there were very few single mothers, and people looked down upon them, race had nothing to do with it. It's the exact same thing with the stolen generation, kids were taken from unmarried single mothers. Today we never hear the end of it with the indigenous Australians, but nobody ever speaks about the white people this happened to. These double standards must stop, we are all Australian.
Then march. Protest. Create videos. Create a dialogue and go after your people for causing it in the first place. Don’t come at Indigenous people because we’re fighting for our causes. I feel for your mother but that’s not an Aboriginal problem, that’s a British/European problem.
@@vk88864 I actually come after both. We seem to both agree on the British/European problem, so I will only address the Aboriginal problem. The Aboriginals, are claiming money and benifits because of their race. These benifits cost my tax dollars that could go to better causes. I don't support anyone being treated better or worse based solely upon their race, that is the very definition of racism. I don't support compensation for something I did not do to people who were not victims, this us like asking today's Japanese to compensate America for Pearl Harbour, just the idea of this is silly. All I am asking for is exactly what Eddie Mabo wanted, equality, everyone treated the same.
crying :(
Australia did have a 'white only policy' but was only for immigration, not for natives. The Australian government was Church of England not Roman Catholic. Church groups were working within the law which I believed said children in danger could be removed, but I believe their wasn't a law by the government for the removal of Children just because their were half-caste. Why their was half-caste, I'm not sure, but without sugar coating it, most of the convicts that were send to Australia were man???? Chruch of England didn't send convicts to Australia to convert them to Anglican, the head of state in England is the King, while in the Catholic Church the Pope is the head of state, when the Spanish went to America, well before the English it was because god sent them to convert them to Roman Catholic.
Australia belongs to the Aborigines the indigenous people of the land, the Europeans are mainly English and Irish and created racial divisions in Australia most of whites trace thier history back to the UK.
Christianity destroyed every culture ancient wisdom form greek European American all lost their identity what a sad thing
Regards John from Germany
Luv u my brother and sisters
I’m mixed indigenous Australian and White Australian. I’m proud of both but my Great Pop was stolen as a kid which is why I live more of an European lifestyle and look white. Obviously now a days I don’t mind but it’s sad to think why I have the lighter skin

Europeans must pay financial compensation to all countries
Descendants of warlords too. See some were sold rather than killed to the slavers
No lol
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?
This is very sad
Now we have incompetent parents and a social situation where the courts are frightened to take away kids who are in danger, or who resort to crime. Culturral change is needed but no one dsares talk about it.
Love my people 🖤💛❤️ Also love my White folks too ❤️
Good on you mate 💪🏻❤️
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?
Unfortunately the milk trees are poisonous so to hear what happened to her grandmother or the tales of her Ethnic background is sad. It reminds me of #OprahWinfrey_Beloved film. We're in a time of learning in America our Mayor of #SanFranciscoCalifornia #MayorLondonBreedSanFrancisco,California is Australian Aboriginal. Following Obama's presidency and Arnold Schwarzenegger as California's governor a few years ago. So we're definitely in a time of change. #GodBless @unitednations
It’s a milkwood tree not a milk tree. London Breed is not aboriginal Australian. Why would you say she is?
The real NATIVE American s
Tay Hereford why do you say that? Not been argumentative ofc
what r u trying to say??
Akiera Norway Ik what Tay is saying
They're saying not every black person is descended from Africa
Australia has a deep horrible history that is painful to read and watch videos about.
Control your emotions, your mind is required to respond to this, all about grabbing the best property, anything and everything will be used to get your attention, to feel empathy and sympathy, please be careful you don't fall into the web of deception
🖤💛❤
Love to all my Aunties and my uncles
im gonna cry 😭😭😭😭😭
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
Will you tell that to the Jews🤔
It’s about righting the wrongs..
Don't forget the ones taken out of this country, some came back others not so lucky,
this interviewer is awfully rude lol interrupting the girl every 2 sentences

Wait whAaAaAt ??!
I'm curious as to how aborigines' esophagus' developed, and other functions related to speech. All aborigines talk like her, same intonation and rapid speech. It's a commonality I'm most curious about 🤔
I am australian and im working about this in school so this is really erecting me but thanks for the video☺️
Australian aboriginal are actually native Indians they travelled from south India to Australia about 50000 years ago
No, Aboriginal people are Aboriginal people. They don’t make curries, don’t share the same religion or Gods. I’m sure Aboriginal People are just that. I think doing a DNA test would help clear things up.. but for now it’s all speculation...!
@@Escekar scientists already did dna test buddy it is matching with tamilians in south india ,check on internet
@@akhilreddy4322 oooh...? Cool...
I will check it out.
Must have been a very long time ago.
Colored!? I thought that word died in the 70s with..."Say it loud, I'm Black and I'm proud!"
All True
I remember that movie, "Rabbit Proof Fence." Mixed kids just torn away from their Indigenous families.
