Just because we are white does it mean we are superior which gives us the right to black label people, for wrong doing. I do not think anyone has the right to label anyone for anything even if it is of a wrong doing so why do white people. .
Why does our community look for a black label as an answer for a crime? .
Why do we label our indigenous people? .
Is it fair to judge somebody because of his or her colour or race? Just because they are different from us, does it give us an excuse to inflict our troubles and our problems on them. What has caused our racist attitude towards Aboriginals in our society? Can it go as far back as our first settlement experiences with the natives? .
Racism was eventually brought about because of the extreme differences in society which remain a major negative factor when trying to mix with our indigenous people. .
The societies didn't mix well together because of the differences in attitudes towards each other's cultures. That's one of the reasons why the start of racism eventually broke out between the societies. .
White people also forced ways and customs on aborigines because the white people wanted them to be more like they were. So we ended up making them feel inferior because they were not educated and did not value any of the things we did. .
An example of this is when one- tenth and one third of half cast children were forcibly removed from their mothers during 1910 to 1970 because we thought we could look after their children better than they could, "Stolen Generation." .
Since 1970 Aboriginal cultures have indeed been promoted, and separate Aboriginal development encouraged through the granting of extensive land rights. .
While there have been some positive things, this encouragement of separate cultural and economic development has made adaptation to modern society difficult for many Aboriginals, particularly those living in traditional communities. This has, in turn contributed to the high rates of unemployment, crime, alcoholism and violence among aborigines, and to dependency on welfare.
