also, I don't mean to sound insensitive, but, I don't know what these guys want, honestly, we give them so much recognition, and the country does so much for indigenous people.. I mean do they want an Aboriginal anthem? and then that just further secludes them because it's non-inclusive of white people..

I know there is some horrible shit that goes on in remote communities, but at what point do you say, everybody knows right from wrong... you can't just keep blaming the past for the actions we see today... my step family are Aboriginal and most of them are doing well for themselves, and are making all the right choices, and they never complain, and also my step dad won't even take the hand outs and benefits that are offered to him and has worked for everything he has
