If you are talking of numbers of people, there are far more whites in

this situation in Aust than there are abo's.



 DL> from homes where their is no money because of alcohol problems



And who's fucking fault is that?  What does alcohol abuse have to do

with racial discrimination?

Us whiteys may have introduced the abos to alcohol, but we certainly

don't force them to drink it, and we certainly have no need to treat

the kids of black drunks any different than the kids of white drunks.

I love your terminology...   without even trying you have just told us

all that you believe us whites have much higher standards than

blacks, and then you wonder why so many whites tend to look down on

the blacks.

Money *doesn't* equal education.

Why would it cost more to educate a black than it would a white? The

only logical reason I can think of is if the blacks have a lower

capacity for learning and require more time to teach them.  If this is

the case then you are clearly saying that whites are naturally more

intelligent than abo's. You couldn't be more racist with this

implication if you tried.

But you seem to have no problems with the whites falling out of school

in droves because of disadvantaged backgrounds. :-(



Cheers,

Rod
