“Gives us our land back” demands Aboriginal Senator who is about as dark-skinned as Catherine Zeta-Jones

Meghan Markle lives in your sad little head for free, OP. It's entertaining to see.

These kinds of stunts really move the needle, I find.

Anyway OP - aside from all your racist bullshit - Lidia Thorpe [bold]IS[/bold] an Aboriginal - whether she looks like it or not. That's how the genetic lottery works cunt-flap.

She has also devoted her life to working for Aboriginal causes. Her grandmother; Aunty Alma Thorpe - was a noted Aboriginal elder and activist involved in setting up the Aboriginal Tent Embassy on Canberra and creating the Victorian Aboriginal Health Service and was made a member of the Aboriginal Advancement League which is the oldest Aboriginal right organisation in Australia.

So STFU.

R3 The greatest myth the white man has perpetuated is that their weren’t fair skin indigenous people before their arrival. There were even brown skin Africans in Africa before white people, who evolved from there, came back to execute the Atlantic Soave Trade.

Thanks, OP, for showing us how racists communicate!

The obsession is real…and pitiful.

A lot of indigenous people aren’t dark.

Yeah. “Give us our land back!” is a thing in history. If you just shame the invaders, they’ll pull up and leave.

Lydia Thorpe is an attention whore who's only true cause is to gain attention for herself. The Royal Family is a ceremonial paper tiger who is visiting Australia at the behest of the Australian government and the Foreign Office. What Thorpe did was rude. There are more efficient pathways for her 'cause', of course, those don't generate global headlines.

That's always the way with the stunt performers. It's like those climate imbeciles who throw paint at art. The only thing they're good for is click bait.

[quote] The greatest myth the white man has perpetuated is that their weren’t fair skin indigenous people before their arrival.

That’s the “greatest myth?”

Right.

R12 well one of them.

"that their weren’t fair skin"

Oh dear.

Only Israel is allowed to get their land back from 2000 years ago apparently.

And screaming “from the river to the sea” is going to make them pack up and leave for sure

R15 speak on it. Though I am pro-Israel because the alternate possibility would be much worse.

Any Aboriginal or Torres Strait DLrs care to contribute?

EVERYONE "stole" land from everyone.

Exactly how far back into the mists of time do we want to go, not even counting that "aboriginal" people likely fought and took land from each other.

Native and aboriginal people are not a monolith. They are not one group or people.

Words are actual violence if you want them to be.

The time has come, a fact's a fact

It belongs to them, let's give it back!

Are the members of Midnight Oil living in exile?

R19 Native Americans lived in perfect harmony with each other and nature you dumb cunt.

If he's not your king then maybe start by taking him off of your coins and stamps.

Allma Thorpe's father was Scottish.

R25 amazing insight.

R18 considering that fewer than 4% of Australia’s 25 million people claim Indigenous heritage and applying a generous 10% of those being gay or lesbian the likelihood of their being many Indigenous Australian DLers is pretty slim.

Besides, who would want to identify themselves considering some of the racist content in this thread?

"Bugger off, you bloody cunt! You'd still be living in grass huts and throwing spears at each other if it wasn't for us."

r24 I hope you're just joking.

Native Americans were constantly at war with one another.

R31 Because John Smith raped Pocahontas and her tribe embraced him as brother.

Where's PETA pleading for the poor possum exploited for Lidia's costume?

She’s not helping her cause by acting like an animal.

"Settler-colonial Zionist fascists! Respect my boundaries and trauma!"

On Border security Australia, there was a Jewish aboriginal with yamulka who went to the head of the immigration line,which is allowed, he was very tall and white and obviously not indigenous, crooks don't like being questioned

Snowflakes are triggered.

Throw another shrimp on the barbie and STFU.

You're odd, R38, et al.

This reface lunatic is so deeply unfunny.

For Nova Peris, a former senator and the first Aboriginal woman elected to the Australian parliament, it was “both embarrassing and disrespectful to our nation and the Royal family”.

She said the actions “do not reflect the manners, or approach to reconciliation, of Aboriginal Australians at large”.

Prof Marcia Langton, a leading indigenous academic, also called the episode “embarrassing and shameful”.

Aunty Violet Sheridan, a senior Ngunnawal elder who conducted a “welcome to country” ceremony at the event, condemned the outburst as “disrespectful and rude”.

She said: “We are all so disappointed by it. He is our King, our sovereign and he has got cancer. Hopefully people see it for what it is. A one-off idiot.”

Numerous Aboriginal elders and leaders felt moved to apologise for what they feared may be a stunt that poorly represents their communities.

Outside Parliament House, where hundreds of well-wishers had gathered to catch a glimpse of the King and Queen, there was a mixture of resignation and irritation.

“Oh she dropped the F bomb?” said one member of the Australian media, who was not alone in seemingly rolling their eyes at the protest.

Even the other natives are like "we don't know her."

Fuck off, racist OP.

Ladwdy mental illness run amok.

I demand reparations (and other free shit).

There's an Australian Monarchist League? Seriously?

Maybe a dingo took her reparations.
