You conveniently seem to be ducking several questions I directed at you in my last post as well as generally failing to address several points I brought up.
Again you are bringing up anecdotal stories, they really aren't relevant in the scheme of things compared to hard facts and the facts would say that much more attention is paid to Aboriginal crime, not the opposite.
Let me put it this way. Many people on Bluelight would agree that the drug laws serve a very negative function in that once you get caught up in the system your life gets harder, you might lose your freedom for months or years and will probably experience financial hardship from a period locked up, a substantial fine, legal fees, loss of employment or a combination of them. It becomes harder to get a job and your dreams of travelling certain places are ruined, many people who find out about your legal troubles will treatyou negatively. All these things ultimately make it harder for a drug user or addict to break their cycle of use and in many cases will make it worse. It limits oppurtunities for positive influence in their life to aid them in quitting drugs. When you take away everything else then sometimes all a person is left with is misery and drugs.
Now think about this and apply it to the obvious oppression of Aboriginal people by the Criminal Justice system in this country, does it not seem logical to you that when we arrest them in unprecedented numbers and treat them like shit then it might be harder for them to then get a job and therefore off the dole? Don't you think locking up breadwinners in impoverished communities does a lot to damage both the morale of those being locked up but also those left behind to struggle? You ever think perhaps that this kind of shit is a big factor in why so many of them have problems with drugs and alcohol. You ever think that such unfair treatment by the police in general *might* just make a population feel distrustful and even hateful towards the system?
It is easy to say "oh well I see a bunch of them behaving this way in the street", but did you ever stop to think what they went through to lead them there or why they might act that way? The negative lifestyle you are stereotyping many Aboriginals to lead is hardly glamorous and I am sure they would change it if they didn't genuinely feel hopeless in their situation.
After you consider all that, you can go even further and consider that we are actually imposing a value system on them that is not their own. Maybe you might not deal so well if another Country came over here, killed Australians en masse, raped our women and stole our land? Maybe you might reject your oppressors idea of how you should be behaving.
I think the real problem here is that nobody ever addresses these issues, because it is too convenient for apathetic white Australians to see one or two drunk and disorderly Aboriginals in the street and say look at them, they don' want our help. It is a shame that so few of you think about it beyond that surface level and wonder why a significant portion of them behave this way. It seems to me they were functioning fine before we came over and shit all over them, something about that tells me that some of their current predicament falls squarely on the shoulders of the white man.
