Message: [QUOTE="KingWebcke, post: 2529999, member: 8372"] which leads to the question why did you bring up the issue of fighting black rights in the first place? you apparently understand and are sympathetic to Mundine's aims of improving the conditions of Indigenous Australians, yet you chose to instead deride him for trying to fight for 'rights' like Ali. A straw man argument really. also worth pointing out that the distinction you've drawn between 'rights' and improved conditions is one of semantics. I would argue that as Australians we have a right to quality health care, education and an opportunity to escape the socio-economic position we were born into. many Aborigines do not have those - regardless of their 'legal rights'.
