But why do you even assume this will happen? You can deny as much as you want but every single comment you make has the same underlying theme: you don't believe Indigenous Australians can be trusted to run their own communities and affairs.
Thanks. I hadn't seen your message, but I did come to the same conclusion. I do honestly want to have my mind changed. It seems to be the progressive stance, but I cant see any upside and there is plenty of downside.
I recommend tagging them
Correction. I don’t believe anyone can be trusted to run their own affairs. And I’ve explained why. The best we can do is group together and try and make the world a better place.
Why do you think it would be a good idea? And do you think that marginalised groups losing rights and equality is an acceptable trade off ?
Whether I think it's a "good" idea doesn't matter. Indigenous Australians had sovereignty over the land and their lives. White people arrived and took that away by force. This is fact. I believe rights should be restored (not given) and that any assistance from the state should be on terms dictated by the victim rather than the perpetrator. Anything less than this is unacceptable.
Indigenous Australians are a marginalised group. As for your insinuation that "scary black man is going to stone all the gays" - do and be better.
I don't think we should be arguing on hypotheticals.
