That's OK.

I go by what Harold said they originally meant, not by what some modern interpretations are.

Also

I owe you an Apology, I learnt something as well from this discussion. I didn't know it had Flag of Australia status.

That being that the Aboriginal flag was granted Flag of Australia status (using wiki as it is the easiest source to quote"

"The Government of Australia granted it Flag of Australia status, under the Flags Act 1953, by proclamation on 14 July 1995.[2]"

In the 2008 proclamation, the flag "is recognised as the flag of the Aboriginal peoples of Australia and a flag of significance to the Australian nation generally" and appointed "to be the flag of the Aboriginal peoples of Australia and to be known as the Australian Aboriginal Flag"

"Now that is my point - how much of a percentage of blood do you need to be considered a particular race? 100% 50% 25% ?"

 

A damn sight more than some who claim to be have in them !

 

And I am particularly talking about "Aboriginies".

I know what you mean, nothing makes me more peed off than the 'educated' 1/116th blood aboriginal screaming about what the white men have done to them.....

I wonder how they would have become educated with out said white men and the schools and opportunity provided.

My ex's sister in law was quite the white hater, and I am sure while she stood in the white man's dole queue she was thinking of all the things she could be doing out on the land to hunt and fish and live freely the way it should be - NOT.

Good and and with all, and I keep an open mind - the racial card, is so like any predjudice card - brought on by the minority of bad eggs behaving badly, and fueled by the minority of **bleep** stirrers who have no real idea what else to do other than hate......

It will never end, and there is never going to be (pardon the pun) a black and white solution.

No apology needed nor expected, and if I have offended anyone I didn't mean to, but 2 things lately on these boards have really been getting to me.....

one is the Cop bashing - both my kids are cops, and as a mother I am both proud and terrified of the jobs they do

two is racial descrimination - and my son is half aborinal, so I just got  little carried away............

Happy New Year to all.

You mean like Pat Eatock ??????

I can't find the other one I was thinking of, she is blonde, fair skinned as and no ancestry but she has somehow

got legal documents claiming she is Aboriginal. I'll find it and post it to you. I think she lives in Richmond or

St Kilda (Melbourne suburbs).

And then you have Jackie Lambie ??????

"she was thinking of all the things she could be doing out on the land to hunt and fish and live freely the way it should be - NOT."

From what I have seen, they couldn't do it anyway.

Even if a plentiful area like NT, very few hunt Buffalo or Geese or whatever - or fish (I know gun ownership is a problem

due to criminal records but even those allowed couldn't be bothered).

And they have to ask the lady I stay with to taken them out, continuously ?
