          They could spend it on teaching them how to spell "Black", for starters. Oh wait, then they would be appropriating the white man's language if they learned to speak proper English. They couldn't come up with a motto in an Aboriginal language?

            @endotherm: Hey, you're only 30 years late. (Looks like it's working, too. You mad bro?)

          • @endotherm: Your couldn't have spelled out your racism any clearer.

            English is "white man's" language? In what world is that?

            Is that a demonstration of your grasp of "your" language or simply a reflection of your ignorance? Plenty of non-white women know far more about English than you ever will and use it far more fluently and accurately. The language you've been witlessly misusing and misappropriating is made up of numerous other languages based on a huge variety of cultures, none of which you clearly know anything at all about. Had your genes tested yet?

            Just had a quick look. https://www.ozbargain.com.au/user/41411 Seems your grasp of statistics and logic is on a par with your knowledge of languages. No surprise at all.

    To me, this is a bargain. The value of learning and respecting Indigenous cultures through the artwork and associated stories of this calendar, all for free. Can we just respect the indigenous peoples having a week and a committee that lets them feel proud of who they are and the rich culture we can learn from without the vitriol, negative and cheap shots. In case anyone wants to take a cheap shot at me, I am NOT an indigenous person, I am from Scottish heritage.

                @pufffdragon: Yes, let's spend time learning a language that has no written text, that is spoken by maybe couple thousand people. Meantime you could spend time learning an actual language used by a modern society.

        • +18

          Yes it matters.

          To do that for one specific race in an advantageous way, to the detriment of all others, is the definition of racism.

            @infinite: This is not to the detriment of other races.

          Feel free to learn a new language native to Australia

          Why? Why specifically 'native to Australia' not some other language that might actually have some use? Mandarin or Spanish would be infinitely more useful IMO.

          or look up who the native clan is in your area.

          Again why?

          Take a positive view.

          IMO that the most positive thing you can do is be useful. And pretending that stone age cultures are somehow valuable in a modern world is not useful. If anything it is harmful because to continues to perpetuate myths that hold people back from their full potential.

              @Gehirn:

              Sounds like someone hates museums and history.

              What mental gymnastics did you have to do to conclude that?

              Here's a simple test, provide some examples of how stone-age culture (any, doesn't just have to be Australian) help you in your day to day life?
              Early human history is very interesting, I've travelled the world visiting a lot of the major historical sites and museums. But interest does not equate to usefulness. Just as knowing about space travel doesn't really help me much day-to-day.
              Historically, human history gets 'useful' around about the time of the Iron age and the ideas that were documented from that time (eg our legal system is still based on concepts developed from that era, art and philosophy from that era is still being used today). That is useful. Foraging for insects and making stone axes, languages that no-one I'll ever meet speaks not so-much. But happy to be shown examples if you can provide them.

              • +1

                @1st-Amendment: This is a poor and subjective argument regardless. This stuff is not useful in your daily life therefore it has no value is silly. The majority of history and culture therefore has no use or worth because they don't influence my day overtly. If art and philosophy of the iron age is useful in expression, so to is Indigenous language in the concepts expressed by it between speakers.

                • +1

                  @Gehirn:

                  This is a poor and subjective argument regardless

                  Yet you are making it.

                  The claim is " Feel free to learn a new language native to Australia, or look up who the native clan is in your area."

                  Of course this is subjective, and IMO learning a language that no-one speaks has no value. If I'm going to the effort to learn a new language it'll be one I can use such as Mandarin or Spanish. But by all means don't let me stop you. Are you learning a native Austrlalian language? Maybe we actually share the same value criteria, you just refuse to admit it.

                  If art and philosophy of the iron age is useful in expression, so to is Indigenous language in the concepts expressed by it between speakers.

                  If they already speak English, which they do, then it adds no value. You can express those same ideas in the the common language you both already speak. The purpose of language is to communicate after all.

                  Tell me, how many times have you encountered a native aboriginal speaker who didn't speak English? For me it is zero. But for Mandarin or Spanish it's at least dozens of times, On the usefulness scale, that wins.

                      Right, so out of the thousands of cultures that live in Australia, each of them gets a day or a week (or multiple days and weeks as is the case of Aborigines) so it works out to at least 3 per day each and every year where some group is complaining about something in history. And if everyone doesn't kowtow to all of these and all their demands all of the time then they are 'racist'. This is the world you want to live in? Because that is where this is headed.

                      Or how about this idea. One country, one flag which represents everyone equally, along with recognition for all the thousands of various differences we all have and we all look forward together rather than dwell on past grievances almost no-one was alive for? Oh wait we already have that. It's called Australia Day.

                          This sentence doesn't make sense. Are you saying we should get a new flag? If so I have no problem with that, as long as we all agree we have one flag, not one for everyone, then another for only one race.

                              But it specifically doesn't represent me so why would I? It's a race-based flag designed to represent a specific race. This is actual racism.
                              Should all races have a dedicated flag? So we promote more racial division? Or is a better path forward to have the idea of a nation state, where all people regardless of race are represented under a single banner? That seems like a better idea to me.

                              A bit of a leap from acknowledging

                              I agree it's a massive leap, yet that is the reality. We spend billions of dollars on this race-based grievance industry. And what is the result, more grievance. When does it end? Is there end? Or is the industry too profitable for it ever to end?

                              happened not too long ago

                              You forgot to name any of these grievances specifically. It's ok no-one ever does. That is how grievance industries work. Keep the grievance vague and undefinable so it never ends. Its a great scam.

                        one flag

                        Albeit with a foreign flag in the corner. There go the states too.

                        It's called Australia Day.

                        The date of which commemorates the invasion of Australia. I wouldn't worry though because after that date is changed it will represent looking forward together, which is what you claim to want.

                        Now I know that last bit will trigger you, so I bid you a good day.

                              So not an 'invasion' then?
                              Or is all human movement considered 'invasion' in your opinion? Does that also apply to when the various waves of Aboriginals moved to and about Australia? Or is this just the old case of Black man good, White man bad?

                              Bye bye.

                              Is that you waving bye bye to a logic?

                                @1st-Amendment: Raising the flag is a sovereign claim over land that was already inhabited. So yeah it was the beginning of the invasion.

                                Bye bye, as in - I'm really going now, as this is just getting embarrassing for you.

                                  Yeah that's how things worked in the old days. It's exactly what Aboriginal tribes did to each other, so why the double standard? Black man good, White man bad?

                                  Bye bye, as in - I'm really going now

                                  You keep saying that but then don't follow through…

                                  as this is just getting embarrassing for you.

                                  You're the one though said your were leaving but didn't. Self awareness level = 0

        How much do you know about the aboriginal nation's land in which you live?
        Most people know infinitely more about other countries than the 250 first nations in Australia… If you don't care about that, fine, just be silent, no need to be a hateful dick. Globally other counties respect and appreciate our first nations culture so much more than Australians do, honestly I find it gross and racist to see people being anti naidoc week.

          I don't live on any aboriginal nation's land, I live on Australian land.
          I'm Australian so it is just as much my land as it is anyone else's that is a citizen of this country.

          Too be fair there is a very good reason we know nothing about the 250 nations (this number is very flexible).

          A few hundred of stone age people foraging for insects is hardly the modern definition of a 'nation'. By that definition a pack of kangaroos is also a nation. When do they get a flag and a special day?

          A core part of Aboriginal culture is 'truth telling'. It sounds like you are disrespecting this by trying to silence people telling the truth

        • I know next to nothing but that is alright because I also don't know anything about that village the Romans conquered way back when.
