rudd to make formal apology to aborigines, page-6

HC's resident serial cyberactivist on the ball as always.
An over the top bleeding heart showing the extremities of the left and political correctness.

There are many original Australians that never suffered what Rudd intends to apologise for, yet many hold this broad view of distrust and even hate towards white folk based on this history.

I'd like to think an apology will stifle this view.

An Aboriginal lady once told me I stole this land from her people.... right after I refused to give her the $5 she wanted from me.

As an Australian born citizen I still don't understand at what point I became a thief.

I look forward to the day when I can be seen by these Aboriginals as a true Australian and not a white thief!

If an apology (or is it a sorry?) helps work towards this thought then so be it.

Howard's approach was different in the sense that he wanted to encourage our original race of humans to take control of their own individual destinies and in doing so create a meeting point where all Australians could be on the same level.


This thought is already daily expressed in the lives of the indigenous folk that hold down jobs and pay there own way.
Having worked, played cricket and drank etc with indigenous blokes that do so, I can say that when this is the norm, racial differences are near on non existent.

Surely it's not just all about us having to apologise...
but I do look forward to us all moving on forward after Rudd says sorry(or is that apologise)!
