    It is a racial slur, and you know it. That's why you continue to use it.

    Your racial hatred is as transparent as your ignorance.


    Abo: " ... it started to be considered offensive in 1950s. ... Although Abo is still considered quite offensive by many ... "

    "The racial slur boong, coon, abo, gin are words I’ve campaigned against for many years in the court room and through public forums including the media."

    I'm sorry, but all of my posts have been fact.

    You're the one posting BS:

    "In 1957 Rolf Harris, then 27, wrote the song 'Tie Me Kangaroo Down, Sport' which became a number one hit in Australia. The song was originally made of seven verses and the chorus. The sixth verse went as follows:

    Let me Abos go loose, Lou,
    Let me Abos go loose.
    They're of no further use, Lou,
    So let me Abos go loose.
    Altogether now!

    'Abo' is a derogatory term for Aboriginal people. In the context of the song the above verse becomes even more racist because almost all other verses are about animals which are to be let lose after the drover's death the song is about.

    Because of the racist term used the song was banned in Singapore. In some versions 'Abo' got replaced with 'emu'. "

    Here again, we have numerous examples of the limit of intelectual activity suffered by politically correct robots. Weaker minds in society are programed by their masters to not contemplate selected issues, Aboriginal crime, and accountability being only two of their many mental restrictions. In this case, while Aboriginals can deny their problems, they will never solve these same problems. This leaves them with the inevitable downward spiral into oblivion.

    Nope, just my crusade to reveal your astounding ignorance.

    'Abo' is a racial slur. Nothing "P/C" about it.

    Get used to it.

    This thread, and just about every single post you've made within it, proves otherwise.

    Perhaps some myths need to be dispelled first.


    "Drinking alcohol is a well-entrenched Australian tradition. In fact, settled Australia began as a rum-colony and rum was the currency that paid for our hospitals and built our churches. Alcohol abuse is a thread throughout Australian colonial history and remains a problem for many communities, black and white. But it is the notion of the ‘drunken black’ that remains one of the most pervasive stereotypes of Indigenous Australians."

    This bit is interesting:

    "As a proportion of each population, more Indigenous (37%) than non-Indigenous (22%) people do not drink alcohol at all. Though it has been found that those Indigenous people who do drink, do so in more dangerous quantities than non-Indigenous Australians. Lending weight to the perception of high levels of Indigenous alcohol use is the fact that Indigenous social drinking, unlike non-Indigenous drinking, is also often highly visible, conducted in public places like parks."

    And this would be common knowledge, I assume:

    "The popular belief that Indigenous people are genetically unable to tolerate alcohol because they did not drink until Europeans settlement is another myth. Indigenous people have long fermented drinks into alcohol from a range of sources such as the sap of some gum trees, bauhinia flowers and wild honey, banksia cones, pandanus plants and in the Torres Strait, the juice of coconut tree buds."

    And finally:

    "There is no scientific evidence of a genetic variance that would predispose any racial or ethnic group to alcohol or make them less tolerant. In fact, humans are very genetically similar, sharing 99.9% of their genomes in common."


    There certainly is a problem with excessive drinking amongst Aboriginal people, however, I think this is an important consideration: "Indigenous social drinking, unlike non-Indigenous drinking, is also often highly visible, conducted in public places like parks". It should not be used as an excuse, but it does need to be taken into consideration when discussing the problem.

    Many Australian health surveys have shown that Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people are less likely than non-Indigenous Australians to consume alcohol:

    Alcohol consumption in percent by age group for Indigenous and non-Indigenous people in Australia. Across all age groups less Aboriginal people consume alcohol in the low risk group. Only in three age groups is the number of Aboriginal people significantly higher. Source: Australian Bureau of Statistics, National Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Health Survey 2004-05

    Well, there's this of course:

    "The National Drug Strategy Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Peoples’ Complementary Action Plan 2003-2009 was endorsed by the Ministerial Council on Drug Strategy on 1 August 2003 to help provide a nationally co-ordinated and integrated approach to reduce drug-related harm among Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander People."

    The term 'drug' is used generically to include tobacco, alcohol,
    pharmaceutical drugs and illicit drugs.

    Yes they drink in parks...in pubs, down the main street...just about anywhere is a good spot to get into a flagon of goon.



    Yep i knew about that. One of the abo's that drinks at the pub i go to was telling me about it.




    So you ADMIT there IS A DRINKING PROBLEM.. Good now how do we deal with it. In town here if the cops try to stop em from drinking in town the abos scream blue murder...

    Calm down you excitable little man.

    My posts are merely providing information.

    Do you have any idea what the word 'objective' means.

    The links/text I've been posting are nothing more than pieces of objective information designed to keep the thread on track (as you so wished).

    They are not my words. Understand?
