Title: Australian PM to Aborigines: 'My bad!'
Post by: Mefustae on February 13, 2008, 03:55:43 am

Sure, it took a few decades, but somebody finally got around to saying 'sorry' (http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/asia-pacific/7241965.stm) for that whole business of raping their culture and stealing their land, their livelihood, and their children.

This has me thinking; have other governments done a similar thing to disrupted natives? Or is the idea of apologizing for past wrongs itself the wrong thing to do so far after the fact? Discuss!

Well, y'know, they kind of need their culture raped again according to what I'm hearing, since their "culture" right now could only be considered one in the loosest possible sense of the word...
