Fun fact of the day: While we sit here shaking our head at white America and the U.S. police force for the atrocities against the black community (which, granted, are awful), we seem to ignore those committed against the Aboriginal folk in our own country. They keep dying in police custody and we hear next to nothing about it. So here are some articles for you to read. abc.net.au/news/2014-10-23/corrective-services-investigate-death-of-prison-inmate/5836126 abc.net.au/news/2013-05-24/sharp-rise-in-number-of-aboriginal-deaths-in-custody/4711764 Aaaand the stolen generation is back, and still under the guise of being in the childs best interest despite slashing welfare and government agencies that should be helping the communities. They are spending so much more on removing these children than it would take to try to help the communities thrive instead. The child removal rate is worse now than it was at any time in the last century. pc.gov.au/__data/assets/pdf_file/0010/132499/rogs-2014-volumef-chapter15-factsheet.pdf theguardian/commentisfree/2014/mar/21/john-pilger-indigenous-australian-families Oh, and any racism on this post and Ill have your head (or just publicly shame and remove you, either one). Read up before commenting that bullshit.
