Whacking Permalink Archive 17 February 2004 In case you missed it, a couple of nights ago, a bunch of brain-dead assholes went on a rampage in Redfern, Sydney, because some stupid kid crashed his bicycle and died (there was a police car in the area at the time, which means - of course - the cops "murdered" him). In today's Sydney Morning Herald, Ray Minniecon wrote a truly inane piece, claiming it's all whitey's fault for not understanding the true nature of urban Aboriginality or something. A mess of bad history, neo-pagan spiritual drool, racist essentialism, cultural stereotyping and general idiocy.
What can you even say to this nonsense? Vague blather about "imperial forces" might impress the likes of Phillip Adams and Richard Neville, but that doesn't make it mean anything.
You haven't been doing anything for 50,000 years. You haven't been around that long. You are part of urban australia, with the same rights, responsibilities and opportunities as everyone else. So I must draw the conclusion that these grand historical narratives are a load of balls. Don't peg yourself to a history which you have had no connection with, just on the basis of your skin colour.
Yes, terrible, but how does it affect you? How does it excuse mindless violence? Why don't all other Australians in similar urban settings behave like this then?
The abuse excuse: we have to get drunk and throw Molotov cocktails, because we're abbos. You're in the real world now pal. You have rights and opportunities: how about making something of them instead of blaming whitey for alcoholism and violence. A lot of people from many countries have made lives for themselves in Australia - they've done it through work and creating a space for themselves in a land that really is alien to them. Many "white" Australians from dirt-poor backgrounds have improved themselves. Why can't the thugs in Redfern do the same? Maybe it sounds too much like hard work. And when they've got fools like Minniecon rationalising every instance of bad behaviour, there's even less incentive to fix things. Minniecon, like Marcia Langton, like Geoff Clark and many others, infantalises Aboriginality to the degree where it become a self-fulfilling case of self-impotence. To hell with these
worthless race gangsters. Forget The Evil John Howard, if anyone is causing
cultural genocide, it's the likes of Minniecon. |
