For years successive Australian Governments have proved they’re racist by repititiously maintaining that real Australians Support Australia Day while Aboriginies, Indigenous Australians don’t.  However what’s obvious is the exclusion of the Indigenous first peoples which couldn’t be more celebrated, in your face, racist and clearer for the world to see.

“We” claim proudly claim to be a multicultural inclusive nation but with two major exceptions. That successive white colonial governments have demanded assimilation of Indigenous Australians, having taken their land, made every effort to rapidly obliterate and disrespect their culture by lowering their social status, and generationaly steam rolling their psychological identities for over 220 years. The consequences of a historical victim-blaming mindset continues today. When we say it was never our fault why should we be blamed.

When conservative Australians speak of Australian identity they insist it be recognized culturally as predominantly Western White, Christian,and Male and all others are expected to bow in recognition of the day that gave birth to this nation and it’s institutionalised patterns of behaviour that systematically still exist today. Their Australian Calendar,” begins in the racist year zero” and on the 26/Jan. 1778.

More than two-thirds of respondents aged 26 and under say they won’t be celebrating on January 26, with just over 30 per cent saying they will. But more than 80 per cent of them support moving the date for the sake of improving relations with the Indigenous population, as do more than 70 per cent of those aged 27 to 41. Support for change dropped among older respondents, with just over 30 per cent of those 56 to 75 and 25 per cent of those older supporting a change in date.
