                    @RecklessMonkeys: Yes, it could not be more relevant. Please be honest.
                    The people currently living here didn't do anything, for or against. Nor does anyone own culture. Not that the Papunya Tula art movement, or "Aboriginal" flag, had nothing to do with pre-18th century Australia, both being created in the 1970s.

                    • @Composure: Above, I asked you to explain what prejudice against others has occurred here. Are you able to do that rather than changing the subject?

                      • +4

                        @RecklessMonkeys: I did, then elaborated on the milieu.
                        Giving someone priority based on their race is racism. If you want to promote equality, good. Praising selectively is the opposite of equality.
                        Special treatment to some is inequality to others. When the context is race, that is morally wrong. Prejudice.
                        I will once again ask you to be intellectually honest. Otherwise, we are at an impasse.

                        • -1

                          @Composure: We are at an impasse if you're going to maintain that I'm being disingenuous, just because I disagree with you.

                          Governments routinely assist various disadvantaged groups in myriad contexts. Just because I don't gain anything from it doesn't mean they have discriminated against me for not being part of that group. It just smacks of sour grapes.

                          Anyone disadvantaged because of prior generational racism, theft or outright murder is entitled to 'special treatment' in order to undo the resultant damage.

                          There's no getting away from the fact these crimes we perpetrated against indigenous people. Therefore amends should be made to indigenous people. You can hardly implement such a policy directed at non-indigenous people - because they aren't the ones who were disenfranchised.

                          To label this racist or immoral while not even batting an eyelid at the history is disingenuous.

                          • +3

                            @RecklessMonkeys: I raised a direct comparison to the situation and you deflect by saying "is this relevant?", and your response to pointing out what you're promoting explicitly complies with definition of racism is to deflect with a joke, then again by pretending I'm changing the subject when you didn't address what I said at all.
                            To your credit, I appreciate your involvement in the discussion in a heated topic.

                            What is it that you think someone of indigenous ancestry today is disadvantaged by? I want you to take a look at the innumerable programs in place to advantage someone claiming to be "aboriginal". There is far more than is available to anyone else.
                            Do you know which other generation was a victim of these crimes? Every generation in human history, planet-wide. It is a sad fact of reality that cannot be re-written. To give someone racial privilege in perpetuity is not the answer. Again, you are talking about a group that already has more rights than anyone else. More financial assistance than anyone else. More social programs to privilege them than anyone else. We are long past this point, where people are outright glorifying people for their race.

                            Do you want to know what is harmful to said culture? The constant demoralising of saying someone is a disadvantaged person because of their race. That they need help. Should people really think all "aboriginals" are downtrodden? What a cruel thought.

                            Do you remember the advertisements for 'The Voice' vote? Every Westfield was plastered with crime statistics saying that "I am XX% more likely to end up in jail", or homeless, or involved in domestic violence, the list goes on.
                            To attribute that to race as opposed to the 'Old Ways' aligning with living rurally, where anyone choosing to live rurally will be in the same statistics. To attribute that to being "aboriginal" is detestable.

                            • @Composure: For clarity, here's what you initially said -

                              You're supporting a post praising people for being of a certain race. Take a look in the mirror.
                              No one should ever glorify racism, this whole movement is repugnant.

                              I reject this.

                              As for relevance, I maintain your example was irrelevant, and I said why by way of a rhetorical question.

                              I did not make a joke so much as ironically point out that the HRC does not consider an indigenous calendar to be racist. But you do?

                              We seem to have drifted from your initial assertion, which is OK, but you're now talking about a difference aspect.

                              I may add more later, but frankly the footy is on and I'd rather watch that.

                              Good evening.

                          @Composure: You're getting baited into sealioning. "Provide evidence, sources!" Neither of you are going to change your mind. You're on a forum which means you have to win, regardless of the truth. People downvote facts and upvote feelings, they cut down tall poppies and upvote edgy barbs. OZB is turning into a cesspit.
                          In the end the result is the same, except lost time.

                            The forum/"advice" part of Ozbargain is quite hilarious. Extremists with little life experience and maturity purporting to be paragons of rationality and reason inveigling naive, post-pubescent males of similar mindsets. No doubt their egos are fed and their narrow, anti-social, lacking-in-life-experience-and-natural-empathy minds are justified by the upvotes of similar anonymous reactionaries. To wit.

                Don't be fooled simply by the name. The Nazi's were not socialists either is that helps, but Hitler knew that gullible people wouldn't read past the label. Weak minds are easily led…

            • -2

              @1st-Amendment: It actually tells you next to nothing about the HRC, unlike your comment which is very much typical of your mindset and therefore could reasonably be said to be representative of your online character, ie it tells people fortunate enough not to have come across your odious rants previously pretty much "everything they need to know about you."

          So we are better then everyone else and we should be ashamed of that? Yes there are some interesting cultures out there and we should preserve them to study their failings in all areas that led to some pale cave dudes absolutely wiping the floor with them for a millennia.

          the spreading of ideas, information, or rumor for the purpose of helping or injuring an institution, a cause, or a person.

          All gov campaigns and social causes are propaganda good or otherwise. We just tend do only label ones we don’t like as propaganda. I don’t see how NAIDOC week doesn’t benefit the greater good TBH, even if we do use your definition. How is learning about Indigenous cultures and recognising Australia’s first people detrimental to anyone?

        • +5

          I'm curious, how is ANZAC day not propaganda? The whole thing started out being used as a way to get more people to sign up to the war, by identifying Australia and New Zealand as real countries because we'd fought a war now.

          I'm not saying it's bad either, but ANZAC day stuff is using sympathy for soldiers who were thrown head first into a battle they knew nothing about, the same way NAIDOC week uses the history of abuse against Aboriginals. The only difference is where your sympathies lie.

      • Do you get ‘propaganda’ rage for ANZAC day, Clean Up Australia day, Volunteers day, Breast Cancer week or is it only certain social messages and awareness campaigns that upset you?

        None of your examples are race-based. And race based is the actual definition of racism. I thought we all agreed that racism is bad?

        • Erm no, discrimination based on race is racism. Are you claiming you're being discriminated against by free posters?

          Because if you are, seriously, harden the (profanity) up.

      "There is no such thing as a free lunch" - Milton Friedman.
      The sentiment is the same whether it's an Aussie flag, Aboriginal art, or as someone wanted, a BTGG poster.
      The "free" will be recouped by inflated prices or shrinkflation.
      If the art catapults positive change, that would be an amazing thing.

            @King Tightarse: There is a difference between understanding that countries exist, and basing nearly all of your self-worth on the existence of a country.

            You haven't really demonstrated any semblance of nuance in a single point you've attempted to make in this thread, so I'm not surprised that this difference has been lost on you. Not the first thing that's been lost on you, and I'm certain it won't be the last.

              This sentence makes no sense, as written.

          Yes. At the same time enacting policy to give more support to a particular race, or having weeks to celebrate the culture of a particular race without doing the same for other races is also racism.
