It's very rare that I visit this site these days and even rarer that I start a thread, but ever so often I see a comment so outrageous that I just have to respond. In a thread entitled "Are Black People more emotional than White People", the op made the following comment concerning the lack of "black people" in Australia:"We have the Australian aboriginal people butthey are a different race more related to white people I beleive." The bad spelling and grammer isn't the only thing wrong with this sentence. To my suprise no one corrected this statement in the thread. The following photos show how Aboriginal Australians looked prior to intermarriage with Europeans.
A documentary entitled "The First Australians" discuss the genocide of the Aborigines people and the racisim they had to endure. In the documentary you'll see that throughtout Australian history the Aborigines have always been considered black. When segregation was legal in Australia the signs would read "Whites Only" or "No Blacks". "Blacks" of course reffering to the Aborigines people.
