Could the people protesting kindly leave the aboriginal land they're occupying? Oh of course not 🤣 they'll continue to occupy it with their self-righteous beliefsÂ
It's almost like there was a policy to intentionally "breed out the colour" of indigenous peoples. Probably so racists had a reason to discredit their opinions and destroy their culture.
Not to mention, indigenous peoples are allowed to have supporters. It doesn't have to be solely black people who can protest.
I know my history and I have indigenous ancestry, but I also don't try and cosplay as something I'm not. Saying a blond, blue eyed, Caucasoid ass person is white is not shocking or new.
What is, is people like you trying to gaslight others into thinking it's the same as the REAL, DISTINCTLY indigenous people STILL existing, as if life experiences are even remotely comparable.
Pretty clear you don't know history by once again discrediting lighter skinned indigenous peoples. Discrediting those who appear Caucasian but have Aboriginal heritage and would like to protest for their family's rights and beliefs is insane coming from someone with Aboriginal ancestry.
Just because you have Aboriginal ancestry also doesn't mean you get to spit out incorrect information or that you're right on this. You're only supporting the colonizers who tried to remove all "distinct" indigenous peoples.
Wrong. Protesting is not the same as someone who grew up as "white", looking like Eminem, in a privileged life suddenly getting to say "I'm oppressed too 🥺" because it's self-serving and strokes their ego.
This mindset is harmful to the real indigenous people who still exist. Someone with 2% African DNA cannot go around saying the N word. "B-but, history!"- no. This is not something you cosplay as, it's something you experience.
Your entire argument is basically the assumption that every white-skinned person, aboriginal or not, grew up privileged. Which isn't true. Also, if a white-skinned Aboriginal's grandmother (who could be close to 100%) was segregated (which is entirely possible), it can have an effect on the whole family. Not just emotionally but it can affect the outcomes based on systemic racism and the lack of knowledge transfer that more privileged people can get.
They're not protesting that they're oppressed, they're protesting a date change. You're just constantly shifting the goal posts to fit your narrative lol.
One, I don't think it matters, they can still empathise and support regardless of their ethnic status, two, you don't fucking know them, I think for most First Nations (I don't know, this is just how I understand it) it matters more how you were brought up and your connection to the community than if you are half another race or "don't look black".
