I'm glad this thread exists in the off-topic area, as the aboriginal population/slavery reference appears out of context. eek:
To suggest that they should get off their lazy asses is a little bit of a mixed message...as in one sense, this shows a lack of understanding of anthropological displacement and socialogical adverse effects of that displacement. An example would be to ask you and your entire family to be subjected to removal from all you've known, then experience emotional and physical degradation, abused, placed in an environment which you have no living experience of, exposed to racist inferences wherever you went, even if you were trying to fit in and conform given everything that has been set against you...finding that the "rules" expected of you to follow change to keep you in inferiority, and then have a minority among you that can't cope with all these removals of humanities be used as the average example of your kind to malign you further.
The examples that you see are people that are no different to the non-indigenous homeless or vagrants - either not able to cope in this environment or have no wish to do so...which is not fully indicative of the total of either white or black community members.
I have spoken to indigenous people that have for one reason or another fully embraced the white societial structure and do see those feloow indigenous running around on the streets begging for money and living on park benches as useless and lazy and wish they would make some sort of effort. Probably partly fair comment, but it still comes back to understanding the level and volume of degradation experienced by that individual.
Despite your youth, circumstances could befall you to the exact same path as those you have just prejudiced...wouldn't you like to know that there are people that would think you worthy of giving assistance to rebuild should you not be able to yourself?...
