When I look at what’s become of the country my parents migrated from (Lebanon) it makes me grateful & appreciative that I get to live in a country like Australia.

What’s funny to me is that most of the people who seem to care so much are white people who have no Aboriginal ties whatsoever 😂😂

Identifying as indigenous and phenotypically
being indigenous are 2 separate things lmao.
A lot of indigenous (after the stolen generation)
chose to procreate with whites in order to get
ahead in society, it's a sad truth. Just like the
romani gypsies & Jews in Europe. Families kept
the bloodline a secret in order to get by/survive

Bro I can guarantee you all the people who I went to uni with who grew up in the Eastern Suburbs their whole life do not have Indigenous links… same people who used to act like I live in a whole different country because I grew up in Western Sydney

Phenotypically?
Did you put on a pair of glasses, and a bow tie and nerdify overnight?
 
I can't speak for anyone else, but personally I have had a gut full of corporations and sporting bodies virtue signalling, making political statements and just in general pandering to minority groups.

Just focus on and get on with whatever your core business is and SHUT THE F*CK UP about everything else.

Well pretty much everyone who plays in the NRL are Australian.
Even a lot who play for other nations at International level.
None of them matter on this day…just the over celebrated whining sooks

I'm sick of the absolute shit that gets posted in here. The virtue signalling is sickening from the bleeding heart liberals. I'm a qualified psychologist, sponsored the Tiger's in the 90s, ran a pretty big practice in Sydney and the Newcastle area, I have family members that are doctors, solicitors, school teachers and politicians. but apparently I'm a defenceless peon suffering some perpetual victimhood because I have dark skin. I have 2 brothers that were part of the 'stolen' generation, mum and dad took them in in the 60s, not a day goes past Richie and Phil do not express how thankful they were to have been given a better start in life. 2 of their biological brothers did not get out and stayed with their mother, both died in the 70s from alcohol poisoning. Cats out of the bag now, only a very few close mates on this forum knew I'm Aboriginal. Having this avatar throws a lot of people out. It catches them all the time assuming I'm a stereotyped 80 year old racist white guy.....just because conservatism is the obvious correct side of politics.

So what?
History will always show that’s what those who thrived did.

Yeah man, some folks saw no other choice but
to do so. People did it with religion too in order
to protect themselves and also their families..

It’s been happening since man stood upright.
The tribes of this early continent were consistently at war with each other.
Same all over the globe.
There is no utopia. Never has been.
Most countries have been able to build nations worthy of celebration.
Australia is one of them.

You'd think ancestors of early settlers who got
pulled away from Great Britain, landed here as
convicts & helped set up the penal colony here -
in service of the King George III - would be aggrieved
with anything to do with the monarchy & Oz day - yet they do the opposite, they suck
on mother England's teet lmao. Most boomers
are the biggest whingers & complain when other
people want to change the status quo, or when
it's time for collective change. So drunk off power
and perpetually stuck in the 'days of old' that
they betray their own sensibility & civility. Such
a spoilt, coddled generation of know-it-alls and
entitled prats. I find it embarrassing when
some posters write "this immigrant guy i met"
or "I spoke to this indigenous guy and they're
so greatful and love Australia and nothing is
wrong with the date", yadda yadda. They love a
token black or ethnic to reinforce their own belief systems, it's like those losers that say they
don't hate gays or black people because they
have 1 gay or black friend. It's so sad. Another
sad thing is people saying we could have been
speaking Dutch, French or Indonesian if Cook
hadn't discovered Australia & everyone else should
somehow feel eternally greatful for his landing in Botany Bay. Piss off. It's the same thing
Zionist settlers say when they take Palestinian
homes, "if it's not me, somebody else will do it",
sorry that doesn't wash, nor does it erase the
atrocities committed and are still felt to this day.
Oh, you know ethnics that migrated here, worked
hard and paid taxes all their lives & that love 2
celebrate Australian day? Good 4 you! They were
not even allowed to date white woman 50 odd
years ago, how privileged they are to celebrate
a day that's celebrated by people who don't even
view them as 'real Australians'. For every black,
and immigrant that love the country & feel like
they belong there are 100's behind them that
feel the opposite way. If we are all going to come
together & truly feel Australian we're going to
have to hear each other out and not just feed
into things that confirm our conscious bias.
Do what you want to do, celebrate how and with
who you want to, but don't act dumb and pretend
you don't understand why everyone else doesn't
share the same enthusiasm as others do on this
date. I went out earlier, drove around and it's DEAD
no special events, parks are pretty quite and
local councils have stopped doing citizenship
ceremonies. Look around, not everyone gives
a shit or feels connected to the date/Australia
day, most people just care about the day off
work. Anyway, yarn over. I know I'm going to get
quoted 100 times for speaking my peice but
I've got time today. Apologies 2 boomers I upset/
or may have disrespected in my monologue lol
