John Pilger On Australian Apartheid

I can say unequivocally that this shit is the sort of stuff we never hear much enough anything about in the United States; we don't talk about native people in North America, and we sure as shit don't talk about the native people anywhere else.  When Mandela died, the media was happy to make it sound like apartheid was ancient history, fixed, done, over, okay, bye-bye.  John Pilger has been talking and writing about the treatment of the first people for decades; the problem is not ancient history, and it is not going away.  We have been able to hide from these crimes for generations, but until we talk and debate and understand the history, our societies will continue to be fucked.
