my apology to the aborigines

[ratz26]

We apologise for giving you doctors and free medical care,

which allows

you to survive and multiply so that you can demand apologies.



We apologise for helping you to read and teaching you the

English language

and thus we opened up to you the entire European civilisation,

thought and

enterprise.

We feel that we must apologise for building hundreds of homes

for you,

which you have vandalised and destroyed.



We apologise for giving you law and order which has helped

prevent you

from slaughtering one another and using the unfortunate for

food purposes.

We apologise for developing large farms and properties, which

today feed

you people, where before, you had the benefits of living off

the land and

starving during droughts.



We apologise for providing you with warm clothing made of

fabric to

replace that animal skins/dogs you used before.



We apologise for building roads and railway tracks between

cities and

building cars so that you no longer have to walk over harsh

terrain.



We apologise for paying off your vehicle when you fail to pay

the

instalments.



We apologise for giving you free travel anywhere, whenever.



We apologise for giving each and every member of your family

$100.00 and

free travel to attend an aboriginal funeral.



We apologise for not charging you rent on any lands when white

people have

to pay.



We apologise for giving you interest free loans.



We apologise for developing oil wells and minerals, including

gold and

diamonds which you never used and had no idea of their value.



We apologise for developing Ayers rock and Kakadu, and handing

them over

to you so that you get all the money.



We apologise for allowing taxpayers money paid towards

daughters'

wedding ($8,000.00 each daughter)



We apologise for giving you $1.7 billion per year for your

250,000 people,

which is $48,000.00 per aboriginal man, woman and child.

We apologise for working hard to pay taxes that finance your

welfare,

medical care, education, etc to the tune of $1.2 billion each

year.



We apologise for you having to approach the aboriginal affairs

department

to verify the above figures. For the trouble you will have

identifying

the "uncle toms" in your own community who are getting richer

and leaving

some of you living in squalor and poverty.



We do apologise. We really do.



We humbly beg your forgiveness for all the above sins.

We are only too happy to take back all the above and return you

to the

paradise of the "outback", whenever you are ready.




sorry!
