When little kids are ?play fighting" next to you and bounce off you every second.

When people play music on public transport without earphones

That's like a mini version of those who have those huge speakers in their car that they play at like 150 decibels so that everyone within a seven mile radius can hear them loud and clear.

When people don't stand up for pregnant women.

People who fail to wear deodorant.

People who try to push their way in or surround the doors of a train before the people inside have gotten out.

God I'm hateful today.

When people cue up for an escalator and no one takes the stairs next to it.

Counted 3 people including myself out of hundreds this morning. Thank god the number this afternoon was greater.

When people swear in front of young children. One lady dropped the c bomb and told them to f off. I'm presuming their related as they were in the same big group of ?locals? who just hang around the train stations n parks nearby all day. Its a real shame as services like child protection can't really look after indigenous children who are miss treated as if they take one it will be seen a racist and another after of a ?stolen generation". Feel free to tell me if I have worded this wrong. I have nothing against the indigenous community (my cousins are half) but without being racist some children are treated poorly and nothing can be done as I guess staff wouldn't want to be in a political mess. If asked I'll give some detail on political mess on the issue

Please do, I am fascinated on how you view this subject. Always willing to learn more here. My husband is 1/4 Native American, so I kinda have a interest in how indigenous people are viewed around the world.

We had what was called a stolen generation were the government took ?half casts? from families for their ?well being" after a few generations there was an apology. Now if there is any thing like that done particularly in remote community's **** hits the fan with a up rawr saying their doing it again.

The indigenous community are decent people don't get me wrong on this but it is the 0.01%ers which give them a bad name. E.g the ones who set up tent embassies in the city rocking boats and cars for weeks on end.

I have a feeling this week their will be a few complaining about a deal done with the government saying its unfair. My city has a population of 1.2 million. Our government has agreed to give the indigenous community $1 billion (yes billion!)and 360,000 sq m of land to do for rituals. This is generous considering both the Queensland and new south Wales high and supreme courts threw out claims for further compensation then previous cases which was going to be done in my state if they don't agree to the deal over land claims. This is on top of mining royalties and oil.

However it is a small group which make a big deal saying they don't agree to this when the most part do.

As I was going on before with the stolen generation the government if they do anything negative in the indigenous community sparks a whole up rawr from the 0.01%ers which is a real shame even if it for their own good. E.g against mining companies employing indigenous workers in the community.

The other week I went running with my cousins (half indigenous) though the city and they stated they were ashamed due to the 0.01%ers throwing beer bottles, hurderling abuse at children at 8am in the morning on a park next to our CBD on the river. They both volunteer as mentors for indigenous children as they own their business but lets say someone stepped in with their actions and took the young ones away from them. The usual cry this is ?my land? always occurs. Just recently this happened to me when a lady was kicked off the bus for sniffing glue. I know it sounds harsh but we have a really loud, vocal, disruptive .01% which gives the community a bad name and to be honest I believe and others that government departments can't afford to step in.

I am not say the Caucasian community is perfect, I'm saying the government has no issue taking their children away and dealing with the Caucasian community but when currently in this political state a child or deal is done in the indigenous community here there is an up rawr. Even if the government gives them $1 billion which the courts would deny if it went through that means in this state.



In short. Our indigenous are good citizens, there is just an unwell small minority which unfortunately tarnish this. However unfortunately our indigenous community's how a high rate (statistically speaking) of substance abuse and disease. To the extent courts banned some remote islands importing alcohol.

We have some of that here, mainly in the western states, although the Native population is all across the country.

My husband's father denied their Native ancestry for many years. He was born and raised in the South where, in his hometown, it was preferable to be black than Indian. My husband and his sibs did not find out about their heritage until the late '70's. Since that time, my husband had done hundreds of hours of genealogy research and has been successful in tracing his lineage as far back as Pocahontas, seriously. He is a direct decendant and has found multiple docs to support it.

His tribe is the Eastern Cherokee who were subjected to forced removal in the 1800's. The government forced them on a march halfway across the country, with only the clothes on their backs, in the dead of winter. Many, many did not survive. It's a long story in our country that spans hundreds of years of abuse and degradation. There are a lot of Native people integrated into society, but there are many that are still on reservations, especially out West. The reservations are depressing places of poverty, drugs and alcohol, child abuse and neglect. Women suffer mental and physical abuse from partners and spouses on a higher level than any other group. The reservations are considered sovereign nations and have their own Tribal Court and Police force on each reservation.

In the current political atmosphere here today, they can expect little help to change their situation for the better. The militant arm of the Native American movement, AIM, had been virtually obliterated after they tried to take a stand against the government in the 70's. One of their leaders is still in jail with no hope of parole.

It seems that this is the fate of most Indigenous people around the world, day to day. The political will is just not there to change their world for the better. They are also caught in the cycle of despair, which leads to the drug and alcohol abuse, which then leads to the abuse towards woman and children. With little education and no jobs, the cycle repeats itself generation after generation.

Caucasian people would find their plight intolerable if the tables were turned.

The people with the least power have the fewest opportunities to make positive changes in their world. I would change an old saying to... Those that can, do. Those that can't, wither away.

Re: ?? Pet Peeves of the AC

I agree. Most have integrated here, while some still part take in their culture. We just have issues like your riot group with 0.01%ers who actually don't part take in their culture or society but are willing the take wealth fair and claim they want more.

Sad this is many of the ones who have found employment try to distant themselves from Their family. Mining companies offer six figure here granted you work long hours in extreme heat, offering indigenous jobs but these works sometimes distant themselves from the 0.01%er who appear to expect a larger share of their relative who is working a income. Its pretty sad.

We had similar issues were people claimed to be Indian to avoid being taken.

Pet peeve: Racist, homophobic, women hating, fundamentalist science deniers with a chip on their shoulder so huge that they can't look out from behind their own deliberate hatred and fear for one second to think for themselves instead of letting Rush Limbaugh do their thinking for them. And the entire society that teaches people to be tolerant of that nonsense. Get the hell out of here.

Not particularly :) Just not a fan of "I hate people" followed by "you have to respect that". Sorry, no I don't.
