Reply to comment by verysillyhats in Native title granted to South Australian Wirangu people recognises it 'always will be Aboriginal land' by DaRedGuy

Yeah, I think it's at least 80 000 years, so to think that the people that were here when English explorers first arrived, were the 'first people' is insane.

Human beings have been pretty shitty to the environment and each other for as long as there have been human beings. Aboriginal Australians didn't get it any worse than any other populations that were colonized at that time.

They were ad far as our understanding the first people ? So confused as to your point. I think you may need to read up on indigenous history and better understand what happened. It was brutal.

I agree with you, you seem to be very confused. Google 'genocide' and then tell me about brutality, that might be a good start for you.

Lots of indigenous peoples did experience genocide. Look at Tasmanian history.

Very good, you're almost getting it. Keep reading and connect the dots.

insane to go “well, why are the crying? they weren’t the only community who was killed, enslaved, raped, robbed, etc”
