- Women residents of the Alice Springs town camps speak up against the impending compulsory acquisition of their homes by the Australian government. This is threatened to take place on August 5, using NT Intervention powers and the suspension of the Racial Discrimination Act. The women speak in defence of the Tangentyere council, who represent and provide services to the camps.
Keep speaking out ladies, we hear you. Beautiful sprits💞
I love there gentle way of speaking- nice people, it’s a shame the most gentle nice people in the world get no respect, but the rich white man gets looked up to when they are the liars and crooks, doesn’t make sense, and it gets me so 😡 angry

Their people have remained unchanged for 50-100,000 years, truly the most ancient race on earth.
Really shows doesn't it.
They show what they need not their desires
It shows that they need and they are grateful for what they have unlike some people
I see the Divine beauty in them and thier voices are so beautiful.
AllNamesRntAvailable 😑
I see ugliness and underdevelopment of you all who are so ignorant to be mean and call them ugly based on looks." Divine beauty" goes deeper than the simple ass physical. Like duh, why am I explaining this why don't you know this yet? Rolling my eyes. I'm sure there is even a smidgen of that beauty in every one of you internet trolls too. May it grow.
I see the eye of the beauty beholder in their phentotypes for sure.
j he’s telling the truth
Subtitles please. We can't understand easily,
@ TheOhmum have you tried going to alice springs and searching?
as an Australian and Italian I feel bad for not speack true Australian (abaigol) and want to help but I can't.
Those homes were unsatisfactory dwellings for even those folks.
I am disgusted with these comments, very ashamed Australian. I lose faith in. The God squad, the godly ones every single day. As a remote area nurse, I happen to have worked out in these communities, leave these people alone, this is where they live. They don't come into ur house and take ur goods. How dare u all. Don't call them Abos either it's offensive. Show some respect as these aboriginal people show.

Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha
Lee Oliver what bloody respect do they show and to whom? And yes,they do break into houses and steal our goods!! And if they have respect for the land,why are their towns littered with rubbish?
desmond farrell here we go judging a whole race off of some people disgusting 🤮 racist stereotypes
Supposedly you went 65,000 yrs... never even attempted to build a house.! And I can guarantee the bleeding hearts watching this "THEY WEREN'T GIVEN SUBSTANDARD HOUSING" They trashed the joints themselves.!
Damn Cheers.!!
I feel like such an ignorant idiot for just finding out about Aboriginal people. As a Black American I can admit America could be quite the narcissist and only surround and revolved around itself. However, like I previously stated on another video I'm in complete and utter lack of words for just finding out about Aboriginals it's like discovering a new breed of black people only they're not new. They seem like very beautiful kind people I'll definitely be looking more into their history.
@CAPECOULORED Alright, Will do I'll check it out. Thanks for the info.
@BlueBerryWizard I think most of the social problems in these societies don't have anything to do with them being "wild and primitive". As I said, most of the problems are the same problems you see in other societies that consist of people who have experienced destruction at the nuclear family level.
Respect aboriginals give them a job its our country!!!
Umm, these women don't look happy. Forced to say it!
@BlueBerryWizard Of course not. I have some ideas on how to rectify the social problems in these communities and make them self sufficient. It would be a large undertaking but I do think it can be done.
They look like South Indians
No!! Aboriginal Australians to be exect.
Who else thinks the noongar accent is cool!?
God bless the aboriginal people - the only true Australians
Hello again,
Thank you.
God bless you too 🙏
see this UA-cam video on more people talking about the intervention, from yuendumu, a community 300km northwest of alice springs in central australia.

@TheOhmum
I'm a Samoan and living in Melbourne. Eighteen years of age but have such a motivation to get out and help these people! Looking for courses too get qualifications and hopefully be a community worker/representative for the Aborigine people. Good luck with your search!
@outragiouschik I AGREE, You're SO RIGHT! lol I'm DONE.
Beautiful people in such a beautiful country only to be put as they said in tents taking their land and everything they own. How can this still go on in today's day and age ???
Josephine Tyree thank you
@duvalcountydabangem I'm replying toward the fact that you said Ethiopians are not Black because they have different features.
*Disregard the comments about Aborigines people it was a comment mix up.
Mad man
Truth be told they are not beautiful on the outside but seem to be very meek and kind on the inside. That's what counts in the end.
my father went to Veitnam .. a frontline forward scout..... all my forefathers has seen active service.... centuries of hate and destruction has passed... its not the answer ...
@BlueBerryWizard It's thought that some disorders are allelic with positive traits. There is a high correspondence between disorders found in Ashkenazi populations, and intelligence. There is a high correspondence between Schizophrenia and creativity. There is a high correspondence between Asperger's Syndrome and genius, Autism and savantism.
Well some aren't some are rasis
@BlueBerryWizard Most of the "pillars" on which we stand were able to make such great contributions to the world because they thought differently than the rest of us, in spite of any negative side effects that might have had. Additionally, people who are monochromats have superior night vision. People who are dichromats can see man made objects amongst the brush. I think you need to take a broader view on this subject.
@BlueBerryWizard And social problems have a way of perpetuating in society. You start to get high incidents of things like alcoholism, fetal alcohol syndrome, and so on.
@TeasaaWasHere We are african but not black we are semetic and cushtic
which means our decendents are ham and japhet, noah's sons
and unless someone would like to say that he is black
we're not. Black americans have course hair & big flat noses like your west african ancestors. Look at the video entitled "ALAMAYE" these people do not have black features. The phrase "Black" is used to classify the africans brought by Americans located in WEST africa not EAST africa.
lmao., that comment made my day :P
Jobs are offered to them. It's up to them to apply and take them.
@duvalcountydabangem Mixed up. In America Ethiopians consider themselves Black where I'm from one of my closest friends is Ethiopian she considered herself Black. At the course hair part smh my hair is the least course out of all my Ethiopian friends SERIOUSLY. FACT most Black Americans are Brown skin. Ethiopians skin tone and hair varies just like Black American people sometimes they're light, sometime they're dark, sometimes their hair is course, sometimes it's not they all look different.
@MegaWinnieGirl and your funny you gave me a laugh
@Superdave1ize lolololololololololol, just a question
@Rebelresponse Its may be true.....
Just to correct you. There's never an excuse to steal from other people, and I`ve never read the bible.
One thing I do agree with is that it's better to give than to receive, unless of course it's a really cool prezzie.
Who are you calling receivers?
I know I haven't received anything. I had to buy my house, my car, my land. Still paying the bloody things off too.
That's the good thing about living in Australia. We've all got equal rights and all have the same chance.
No handouts for me
@BlueBerryWizard Are you sure? Just because someone is related to you does not mean they have any investment in you or provide you with good company or friendship. Define "genetically fit". The social issues among Australian aboriginal communities are the same social issues that are found amongst Native American communities. In fact, they are the same social issues that are rampant amongst most populations that have faced decimation at the nuclear level.
Hapuka fort
@BlueBerryWizard I can argue that on many points but I would need more characters to do so. This nation was built by slaves.
@BlueBerryWizard There are very few genes that control outward appearances. Cultural is not propagated by genes. It is learned. Is it more important that someone looks like you, or has the same culture? Survival of the fittest must be understood in context. Aboriginal people survived for tens of thousands of years in the bush. An individual who was crippled may have been at a disadvantage depending on the culture.
its a shame. The same happened in the American Continent. from North America to central America, the Caribbean, and South America. The whole Continent of AMERICA. was taken from the Native American Indigenous People. The whole Continent was taken. how could someone do such thing.....
@BlueBerryWizard Whites generally have higher socioeconomic status and have not inherited the blight of poverty that was spawned from the decimation of their people.
Some of the comments in this comnent section though 😒 I can smell the ignorance so clearly
@TeasaaWasHere Do you think really everyone on the african continent is black well if you do your wrong. Northern africa for example shares more racial similarities with europeans.Most North Africans are ethnically Arab and do not look black.
@duvalcountydabangem But I know for a FACT not all Ethiopians have soft hair, straight noses, and fair skin that's a definite lie. I live in Los Angeles California I see too many and they NEVER all carry the same features beside the common feature which is the eyes they have that's about it.
And im aboriginal
rofl
i feel very close aboriginy even i was born in japan. they emphasis on live with natures and believe the god of mother nature. thats my grandma have been teaching me and i noticed that aboriginies have same religion like us when i watched the news of them.
What the fuck?
Fuckin aye
@BlueBerryWizard I've always found it ironic that racists such as yourself "races" you perceive as less intelligent as inferior and not worth being treated human, and "races" you perceive as more intelligent, a threat to your existence, and thus must be destroyed. Though I suppose it's simply because you project the things you would do on the former, on the latter, as things they would do to you. Let me ask you something. What attribute of a person comprises their worth to you as a human being?
@TeasaaWasHere I wasnt talking about the aborigine people in the video in my reply to you I was talking about my ethiopian people. You stated to me that ethiopians are black and im telling you we are not black. I didnt say african american noses are as huge as these people im saying that BA'S have courser hair and wider noses like west africans. Ethiopians have soft hair, straight noses and fair skin.
Some of these fucking comments though😒 Smfh
Racis*
You are all talking about racism how about doing some research before you throw the word around, because you really do look like you are being "racist" against a particular nation. This is a essay I researched in relation to the construction of race. Don't hate but "white" people created race because they believed they were the more dominant race on the planet, all of my statements below are very well supported.
The term ‘race’ was socially formed during the mid sixteenth to eighteenth centuries. It was originally used to categorise such things as; species, sort, breed and type of people. By the early 18th century ‘race’ became a standardised term used to distinguish populations. The term and meaning of the word ‘race’ signified a new ideology of human ‘differences’ and it solidified references for social categories. Those that see ‘race’ as a ‘status’ or ‘class’ focus predominately on competition for resources and power differentials that perpetrate social satisfaction. Racial ideas was a product of capitalist interventionism, this approach recognised the construction of racial categories and how it is associated with power and how it legitimises the rights of the colonisers as a ‘ruling class’.
The theory of ‘Social Darwinism’ derived from Charles Darwin’s theory of evolution, which underpinned many of the eighteenth and nineteenth century theories on ‘racial’ differences. Natural selection, ‘biological and social’, transpired to certify that only the fittest survived in any environment. Allowing then the dominance of some ‘races’ as the entitlement of a privileged position. This theory leads to the conception that all ‘other’ lower ‘races’ would eventually die out. Linnaeus (1707-78 cited in De Lepevanche and Bottomley 1988) identified four ‘human’ types, which were characterised as European, African, Asiatic and American Indian. The classifications were based on place of origin, then on skin colour and each race was then identified with certain characteristics. The European race was categorised as white, gentle and inventive. ‘A clear hierarchy…’, as Linnaeus goes onto suggests that ‘…race could [even] be “scientifically classed’, and proven. (De Lepevanche and Bottomley 1988, pp. 79)
Religion was a key role in enforcing racial prejudice against ‘other’ people with ‘biological’ differences. ‘The bible provided for the explanation for why there were physical differences between groups of People and that gods punishments meant that people who have black skin is because it is a curse’ (Fozdar, Wilding and Hawkins 2009, p. 7).
Theories of ‘racial’ hierarchy used natural selection as an explanation for racial categories. Race was produced from the politics of the European explorers and colonists in Australia, who imposed racial identities on peoples to suit their own hidden agendas and purposes. Australian Governments created ‘racial’ categories in legislations which supported in the increasing acceptance of inequality and the development of ‘flowering’ racial consciousness which excluded designated groups from ‘mainstream’ society.
Australia has a history of racism towards individual groups of people that have been placed at a disadvantaged because of the construction of ‘race’. Racism in Australia began after European settlement in 1788, this produced prejudices which was incorporated in Australia’s race relations and dealings with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples which was typically connected to human eugenics and bio-physical differences (Smedley, 2005). This is supported by Erin Tucker (1987) as she suggests when Europeans began to ‘discover’ peoples from other continents. European academics categorised all ‘other’ people that are not fair skin into groups and began to explain the diversity and achievement of humankind. They used ‘scientific’ methods to classify the physical characteristics of the ‘races’; focusing on their skull shape, body proportions, hair, skin colour and other variables.. They described these people as not being intellectuals and that they must therefore be below the European race by placing all “other” “primitive” races below theirs “race” because they seemed to believe they wad the hierarchy. With the result that they were convinced that Europeans were more superior.
Contemporary racism in Australia (the 21st century) today appears to be newly focussed on people’s culture. Opposed to what racism seemed to be focussing on during the mid sixteenth and eighteenth century’s which was a person’s biological feature. However it is usually the mass media that generates ‘new racism’. For example two articles written for publication by Andrew Bolt, under the titles "It's so hip to be black" and "White is the new black" where to insinuate that ‘…fair skinned [I]ndigenous people identified as Aborigines for financial gain’ (Lataan 2013). This shows the ignorance of some people in Australia till this day. But I like to point out as De Levevanche and bottomley mention in their book that in fact ‘…a person of ‘Aboriginal’ or Torres Strait Islander’ descent who identifies as an Aboriginal or Islander and is accepted as such by the community with which he/she is associated (year book 1973:971, cited in Lepervanche and Bottomley 1988 pp 58).
Gale (2000) says the Australian mass media contributed to Pauline Hanson’s rise in the ‘One Nation Party’ which was formed arguably through the mass media’s publicity of Hanson and her ‘so-called’ Australianness. The media published and highlighted Pauline Hanson’s racist statements on immigration standards in Australia and how Australia is being ‘swamped’ by Asians which was relayed to the ‘mainstream’ Australian society to influence them to think in a similar way. Hanson was able to use the media to influence the people through media’s use of pictures. Hanson was often photographed draped in the Australian flag, working in her own fish and chip shop and standing by RSL members. The media made Pauline Hanson look as if she was an average ‘Aussie’ woman that loved Australia however Pauline Hanson may have been using the media presence to provide her with a voice to rise to which she used for her own personal agenda that may not have been in favour of all of her One Nation Party policies and indeed some of the Australian People. Gale (2000) states Hanson is represented as an ordinary Australian, supported by other ordinary Australians, including ‘…young people around the country who have placed their faith in the Hanson movement’, she is transformed into a media figure which presents racism as acceptable (2000, p. 263).
During the 1990’s the media fixated on Pauline Hanson’s fear of Asian immigration which after the events of the 9/11 terrorist attack in the United States of America soon turned into fear of the ‘Arab or Middle Eastern’ immigrants and the newly termed ‘boat people’. The media demonised asylum seekers as ‘boat people which strips them of their humanness and made them to be seen by Australian as possible ‘terrorists’. For example in the Daily Telegraph on October 23rd 2009 Malcolm Farr suggested that there were ‘Terrorists `hiding' with boat people’ and Andrew Bolt suggested on the June 7th 2010 in the Herald Sun for Australian’s to ‘Treat boat people as potential terrorists’. This type of common demonization causes Australian people to see asylum seekers as people who are not trying to escape troubles of oppression and poverty in their home nations but as a possible threat to their ‘white’ normal way of living and therefore a danger to Australia’s national identify. Gale (2004) talks about how the 2001 election campaign by the Liberal Party represented asylum seekers and refugees in the media as a ‘threat’, with captions that seek to enhance Australia’s ‘white’ Anglo nationalism such as ‘We decide who comes to this country and the circumstances in which they come’ (Howard 2001, p. 10 cited in Gale 2004, p. 335), often accompanied by images of overcrowded boats.

Australia shows many different forms of racism such as; ‘othering’ peoples and stereotyping, yet Australia claims to be a ‘multicultural’ society that accepts ‘others’ differences. When really Anglo-Australian society have their own hidden agendas, as they do not celebrate other cultures traditions these include events and celebrations such as Chinese new years and the only events that are actually celebrated in Australia are events that have come from a European background and religions. Celebrations like Christmas, New Years, Easter and even the Queens birthday get a public holidays. These events are typically seen ‘normal’ to the Australian nation and these events are celebrated by cities covered in lights and decorations. So for Australia to claim multiculturalism it should accept not one culture’s belief but all of them other wise it is just ruling the ‘others’ out because these ‘other’ cultures celebrations are not seen as ‘Australian’ ‘racism is used as a concept, and sometimes as a epithet to disparage or stigmatise something or someone’ (Banton 1988, p. 136). This is how race in Australia continues to be a racist nation.

What a waste of time. I dont have to justify my existence to you. Fuck off to the jungle if you love “all humanity” so much.
@TeasaaWasHere if your hair is the least course of all your ethiopian friends which i dont believe your either mixed, you use a chemical relaxer or your lying. The ethiopians you encounter in la probably consider themselves black because they are influenced by african american culture. We are not the same and there is no comparison..
Can we yanks send you our "urbanites" and you send us yours??? From everything I've read and seen, aboriginals are so much more civilized.
No you cannot have them lol
Woww!!! That's terrible, I had no idea it was that bad over there. When you put it like that..
@duvalcountydabangem Ethiopians are not black? LMFAO! Your a joke! that has to be a joke being that I have several Ethiopian friends here in America and we're all apart of the Black Student Union from what I know we're all considered black here. STOP self-hating.
@MegaWinnieGir watch the video entitled " why mixed Ethiopians with Caucasians look un-biracial, explaining the DNA structure of somalis and Ethiopians and how Ethiopians and somalis are Caucasians. "
wow 2009 and Aboriginals are still being oppressed this badly. Treated this poorly. Wow and I thought our government had learnt a lesson. Obviously there is still great injustices here.
They could always get jobs and work at these places. Thats what white aussies do.
Not just "white" aussies. I'm not sure where you live but there are generations from all corners of the globe of all known shades of skin where I am that are trying to make it for themselves, including my aboriginal housemate. Only three so called "white" aussies where I work, including me, in amongst 20 people and is just the way I like it. That is the country I was brought up in since the 70's by my "white" Australian parents,. If you don't like it then piss off to somewhere with more "white" people.
Black people are not white aussies
I thought Aboriginal people liked living outside near the bush and not in houses.
Bruh we would but most of us didn’t learn how to survive off the land cause white people called it “uncivilised”
Racism is global, so Imperialism and religion have made us IGNORE natives.
@MegaWinnieGirl white girl we have already gone over this ethiopians are not black point blank period.
@duvalcountydabangem Aboriginals aren't black they migrated from Asia,
And there was a arabic slave trade in Ethiopia, but indigenous Ethiopians are under the social label of "black"
Dude, you're really not making any sense
0:27 to look for a job? Hahaha, bungs don't look for jobs
They are trying their best
Shut up
There's always an excuse to steal from other people . That's why you use the bible as a weapon to take advantage of other people. Like the bible says : It's better to give then to receive . Meaning you as the receiver's and and all others as the giver's !
Mad man
