Is australia's sense of equality warped? With the Aboriginal Australians recieving unlimited freedoms and benefits from Centrelink and the Government itself, i have to say that it surely is warped. While Aboriginal Australias were the first Australians, surely we Whities deserve the same, fair and equal treatment to the Aboriginals??

Discuss.

Yes but by giving them all these benefits has taken away from the whit men's rights to equal treatment. We have to pay like 15.5% interest, the black guys who live next door pay .03% interest! How is this equal?

this thread is not designed for blatant outright racism so STFU or GTFO.

refering to yourself as "we whites" and aboriginals as "the black guys next door" is racist in itself

saying they're generally less mentally capable than caucasians is simply stating an unspoken fact, im positive that if you gave them all IQ tests, general knowledge tests, reasoning tests, looked at how they perform at school and work, you'd find they perform considerably poorer than a "white" kid from a similar socioeconomic background

Aboriginies don't receive anything like 'unlimited freedoms and benefits'

From the moment of birth, your future is largely decided based on your parents standing in the world. If you have rich, educated, hard working parents, you are likely to turn out similarly. The children of aboriginal australians are, as a population, generally born significantly disadvantaged. Things are far from equal at birth. The government is trying to address this with benefits for children of this generation, in the hope that if there are incentives created for education and work for this generation, future generations will value these things and be less reliant on government assistance.

Of course, there are plenty of significantly disadvantaged anglo children, but there's no simple way to sort them from the pack.

The governments assistance to Aboriginal Australians is distributed with the purpose of addressing the undeniable inequality that exists at birth. Whether handouts are an effective means of addressing this inequality is another matter.

If you're educated and grew up in a middle class family, you have nothing to complain about, and it's ridiculous to suggest that anything less than the entitlements aboriginal Australians are given is not equality. You were born with all the advantages.

This thread is distasteful.
