>>> I do not admit, for instance, that a great wrong hasbeen done to
the Red Indians of America, or the black people of
Australia.<<<<

firstly, not "black people" they are Australian Aborigines. And just,
my God you have made me so angry! *Australia* has decided that a great wrong has
been done to Aborigines, and I'm not going to waste my time digging up all of
the information about the genocide we perpetrated upon these people in our
invasion of the land. All of Australia decided, (including the Aborigines) that
we did do a great wrong, and it is not up to anyone else to just dismiss it. Go
bloody well comment on your own country where you know the facts. 


 >>>I donot admit that a wrong has been done to these people by the
fact that a strongerrace, a higher grade race, a more worldly-wise race, to put
it that way, has comein and taken their place.<<<

not a *stronger* race, a more *violent* and *self-justifying* race. Which
doesn't make it right, and we have not "taken their place".
