  • This year during National Reconciliation Week, Reconciliation Australia invites all Australians to learn more about Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander cultures and histories, to share that knowledge and help us grow as a nation.
    “Don’t Keep History A Mystery: Learn. Share. Grow” explores history hidden just beneath the surface, ready and waiting to be uncovered.
    This #NRW2018, learn more about the Australian story.

      Actually, I believe it was my dog that invented the throwing stick....

    Us "average Australians" know virtually all of that. The problem seems to be that we don't feel the need to spend all day fawning over it as though it was the number one thing in our lives and everything else should be secondary to it.

      Yeah, no. I didn't miss any point you sanctimonious yuppie turd. What people like you want is what I said you want in my previous statement. You missed the point. "Average Australians" priorities are going to work, paying the bills, raising the kids etc. I don't mind if there is a Reconciliation week and I'm happy for anyone who sees fit to celebrate it to do so. What I do mind is being told that if I don't celebrate it I'm a bad person.

      I work as a security guard, and I've been called racist for everything from not giving money out to stopping husbands bashing their wives - or visa versa. I've long since learned that 'You're Racist' is shortform for 'I don't agree with what you're saying but I couldn't be bothered making an actual logical argument.'

    • @coop001
      @coop001 Před 6 lety +2

      Lefty twat. Has no argument so cries racist. Just call me a bigot and a homophobe now to get it all out of your system.

    • @coop001
      @coop001 Před 6 lety +1

      At no time did I say I didn't accept the history of Australia., good and bad. You assumed that. You read that into it because you're a bigoted, pious twat. I said I don't feel the need to celebrate Reconciliation week. BTW, I also don't feel the need to tell people they're racists because they don't celebrate Australia Day.

    I've only been on this planet for thirty so years, why am I blamed for a history I was not involved in?

    • @andylai-fz6uc

      want to be equal? aborigines already are.

    • @iamanonymous2615
      @iamanonymous2615 Před 6 lety +2

      In fact, they are more than equal. They receive higher benefits than ordinary Australians for simply being Aboriginal. This is fact.

    • @iamanonymous2615
      @iamanonymous2615 Před 6 lety +1

      Yes, white people are being blamed. Aboriginals are as equal or more equal than Australians who are European, Asian, Arab, African, Latino or whatever race. They are entitled to more benefits than other race of people in Australia. So, I don't understand why Aboriginals keep echoing this 'racial injustice' when they are treated better than an ordinary white Australian or immigrant to this country. This country is not just for Aboriginals. This is a multiethnic, multicultural nation. Aboriginals must learn to accept that saying 'sorry' for something the majority of Australians are not responsible for is only dividing this country, not progressing it.

    • @iamanonymous2615
      @iamanonymous2615 Před 6 lety +1

      Darcey O'Shea I’m not deciding freedom or injustice. I’m pointing out that Aboriginals are being treated equally in modern society. I know there have been atrocities committed on Aboriginals in the past, but why should we make the next generation feel guilty for what someone’s ancestors have done? If Australia is such a bad country, why are African athletes seeking asylum here after the Commonwealth Games? The Aboriginals have to realise that they are recognised in modern society and stop forcing the public to feel guilty for something they aren’t clearly responsible for.

    • @indigoesios
      @indigoesios Před 6 lety +1

      IamAnonymous I have European ancestory, I was just born in Australia. Maybe I should go back to my own country? Do you know of the handouts the aboriginals get from the government? I doubt the native Americans get what the aboriginals get and they still scream injustice. I get nothing from the government, I pay taxes so they can get these handouts, I get no thanks for that, I'm only made to feel more guilty.

    @TeamSmashAU Před 6 lety +5

    The Greeks gave the world Democracy, Philosophy and advanced forms of mathematics to name just a few. The Aborigines of Australia gave the world the Woomera, the didgeridoo and the boomerang. To even speak of them both in the same sentence is an insult.

    I'm fine with the message that is trying to be sent, but I found stereotyping at the start of the video quite offensive. I've got family from all over the world and to say that they aren't what the writers call 'Australian'', kinda hurts

    why does it need to be a week ? why not just a day ? Australians can hardly have 1 day australia day without being guilt tripped about it, but they get a week ? sounds racist to me

      @joeybersa6783 Před 6 lety +1

      I hate this polarisation of indigenous and non indigenous. Cant we just get over racial identity politics already. Isn't everybody tired of this crap. We've evolved out of tribalist politics and moved into individual sovereignty for a reason because treating people based on their group identity can get genocidal real quick

    Instead of making the white average Australian feel bad for being one, how about re-wording the scene, with responces like, wow that is fantastic, I admire you culture....but no, white australians on the eastern states are ment to feel bad for being white.

  • @Francisnotcis
    @Francisnotcis Před 6 lety +1

    The comments here are what the ad is referring to in regards to lack of education. The belief that this all happened hundreds of years ago and is in the past is part of the ignorance that fuels the real divide within Australia. The stolen generation is worse than ever, aboriginal land is destroyed by mining companies, our indigenous have a much much lower life expectancy than white australians, the stolen generation is worse than ever, indigenous children are being killed or tortured in detention. This is not in the past this is still happening and the sooner we acknowledge it the sooner we can reconcile.

      @wildbluesea1 Před 6 lety +1

      Then why call it Reconciliation day? What is there to reconcile? Why not just call it Ancient Civilisation Day? Or, here's an idea, just call it Australia Day...and we could all celebrate together as one people?

  • @BCJ87
    @BCJ87 Před 6 lety

    To move forward we must educate the Australian public white, black, yellow, blue whatever coloring you are on the real history of Australia. Tell the stories of the past really listen and learn from each other.
    But we can agree, this commercial is just bad in general, whoever made this needs to be fired haha I’m a Indigenous Aussie cringing after watching that garbage.

    Saddened by this stereotypical misrepresentation. I am an average Australian male. I am educated, I have lived in cities and rural towns, I have traveled widely and I am upset by the way some British and would-be British in high office have treated Aboriginal people, and thereby justified the prejudices of narrow minded people - regardless of their original culture. Reconciliation is a challenge to be undertaken wholeheartedly and in good faith - not by peddling stereotypes.

    Get over it - move on. Stop blaming our generation for what happened to your ancestors centuries ago. You weren't there either. So just accept how lucky you are to have been born into this great country, where everyone is equal. Let's all just get along and look towards the future and stop dwelling on the past.
