[QUOTE="Jedhead, post: 3190248, member: 9518"] By your reckoning that the past should be forgotten we should also ditch ANZAC day and forget about Gallipoli. We should also cancel Xmas coz that’s just about ideas that were first thought normal centuries ago. In effect what you are asking is for one group of our society to forget atrocities that tried to wipe out their culture. In order for unity there has to be empathy, compassion and an understanding of what has been going on since Cook first came to these shores. Genocide, in the form of massacres, poisoning, the stealing of land forcing families to starve, the Stolen Generation are no things to be forgotten as they allow for the continuation of atrocities like the Northern Territory Emergency Response to be launched. Which in actual fact was forced on the Indigenous population of the NT under the guise of lies and misreporting by the Howard govt. It was given the less sinister name of the ‘Intervention’ and the shocking institutional racism it perpetuates was continued by the Labor govt. when they took office and is still in effect as we speak. White Australia has a Black history and the sooner we deal with it the sooner we can achieve peace and reconciliation with all Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people. [/QUOTE]
