@3 We have just seen a brief story on ABC News 24 reviewing the Coniston Massacre film. I missed the name of the film so googled David Batty and the word massacre. And there you were, Bev. You absolute horror. My partner is a white Australian, I am a black, non-idigenous woman. With your depth of knowledge regarding how black and white people interact, you should be able to answer this. For how many decades did whites exploit blacks, women, men and children? How many millions are owed to these people? And how is it someone like you can be breathing the same air as them? The same air as me? What excuse are you sticking to? It shames me to know that someone like you is in the world I live in.

Honestly Bev – your sad little self preservationist comments are deplorable. Let’s NOT put it in perspective, because you cannot justify “MURDER, RAPE and HATRED”, but obviously you have. Let’s just all put it down to blacks wanting tobacco for free hey!! Sad, Sad, Sad. Waiting for your self preserving reply Bev!!

@1. You can’t stomach the fact that massacres perpetrated by white people are slowly seeing the light of day. Are you ashamed of your past? You should be. How ignorant of you to suggest that there were white massacres.

Let’s put it in another perspective. Because black fella want tobacco for free – because black women want white men – because black fella shoot black fella white fella must suffer. The Aboriginal will not allow the spirits of the dead to move on but hold them to this earth. They want justice but won’t give justice – they bring about their own karma. There was black and white blood spilled on every part of Australia – so if those that won’t go back to their own land 200 – 300 years later because of spilled blood maybe they should pack up and leave Australia or the world. What about all the white people who got massacred. What happened here is that innocent people are suffering because the Aboriginals wanted to gain money and land because of what happened back then (or that’s their excuse and they are sticking to it).
