Yeah I didn't think so.

Seriously FUCK growing up in an aboriginal household. You've got no chance. It's kinda the same as growing up in the very lowest white socioeconomic group where there is generational unemployment. As much as you hear rags to riches stories, they don't come out of these households. It's not simply "poor".. it's worse than that.. I'm sure most families have been through at least a poor stage and can identify with it to some degree. But this is worse. It's not about lack of money but the mentality that institutionalised welfare/poverty/whatever generates.

You laughably imagine yourself as one of those kids and how you'd easily get out of the cycle - as if you would be the same person you are now if you grew up with loser parents that didn't value education or had a single adult work in the last 3 generations. You'd grow up exactly like them.. mugging guys down at the supermarket and calling everyone JC's and white cunts.

The reality is they do have it harder than most people.. as do the very lowest rung of whites. It goes beyond what opportunities they actually have.. and more what is possible given how fucked up their home situation is in terms of generating a kid thats going to go to law school or become a doctor.

That said I do live in a country town and I'm not particularly bleeding heart about this.. just a realist. We have "black out" nights here where whites don't go out because the aboriginals are having football matches or big get togethers and you're likely to get mugged or just the shit kicked out of you if a group of them find you on the street late at night. Hell doesn't even need that.. one of my employee's brothers was mugged on the weekend by three of them. My own brother was gang bashed in highschool (after earlier beating up one of them who instigated it and being made the bad guy because he was white and the guy put on a sob story) as well as countless other incidents.. So I'm not a city living bleeding heart. I just kicked the "free ride" bullshit early on. You couldn't pay me enough money to go black or very poor white and have that mentality. And lets face it.. I could get just as angry about white welfare if I wanted to.. it's cheaper for poor whites to got to uni with austudy.. rent assistence etc blah blah blah. But I wouldn't trade places.

Regarding these measures... if it helps at all then good. But I doubt there is any magic bullet for the problem. Except the whole stolen generation solution. Which in a really cold sense probably worked well for the socioeconomic outcomes of each child invovled even though we all know how that turned out.
