the first Australians were white skin people
Then at a time in the long past when a big awakening happened there was much migration to Australia by Jews, but whom came through the China region, and also by persons from the Indian region. The esoteric schools of thought in Traditional Aboriginal culture are more like Indian in the west of Australia and more like Chinese in the east. I am from the west, but I began way later than the first Indigenous race, and when there was a big inter-racial mixing. We all ended up black, but the genetic for our brown skin is recessive rather than dominant like in Africa.
I think that among all Indigenous Australians the difference between wether you are white or black is accorded only by whether immediate ancestors had a communal effort made upon their behalf in death rites. Our death rituals involve a two week or longer period of "singing" the persons Spirit into their right story and through singing them, holding them into their belief in the Angel of Death. But also their every mistake which any of the community can remember is placed in their path by the minds of the living, so that the burden of mistakes rest with the dead. The singing/mourning process might take weeks or months or years, depending upon the seniority of the dead person, and how large an account of forgiving the living they had committed to before their death.
Those whom are in the most despair, (despair caused by loss of culture from the invasion of Australia which is still very fresh for most of our people), and so are with less strength during death, are usually whom get white genetics comming out in the ancestry. The strength in death required to sustain the black skin genetic needs community support in most people, but not all of.
Also there are lots of us with red hair. Even loads of children in the desert with red hair and black skin.
In our tradition we are good at discerning whom is whiter in mind and whom is blacker in mind because of the necessity for community holding a stricter account in respect of whom is whiter in mind, but only so as to keep the skin black.
There are two different functions causal to white skin, one is ancestors having died in a state of prolapse, and the other is among the non-believers whom make attempts to escape the account of the Angel of Death. They never could get away from Him and that is why they go white so that they are shown up. Even in the black skin community very often if any person makes any effort to escape their account in Allah, then their skin peels and goes whiter almost within only a few hours for some folk. That is why us white fella Aborigines have such a bad reputation.
But there are quite many white skin Australians of Aboriginal descent whom believe in the fact of their Aboriginality but are not openly identifying. This is for two main reasons. There has been such persecution against any person with any Aboriginal identity, and especially fairer skin children were more likely to be removed from maternal care. For that reason many of us have over about six generations of ancestry "passed as white". The other reason is that most white Australians want to let the black community make an open black power stance without our race being openly regarded as a white skin race. Except that there are other white Aboriginal folk who prefer being white, and it might be better suited for them. I reckon that the sun is too hot here for white skin. In general most white Aborigines are very much able and happy to provide into the black community of the priveledges of being white in this society. More of what my own family has worked to earn has the benefitted the black community than for our own immediate family.
The reason I began to identify is because some white Aborigines were saying that they did not want to be laying any claim upon any reparations payable to Aborigines which might be forthcoming from Government because of past abuses; and I decided to identify because I believe that I can make a point about Aboriginality not being a status of victims seeking payback, but that Aboriginality is all about the fact that we have survived.
Just this week (coinciding with a Muslim offer in Alms to my self Mash Allah for there is bounty!) there has been a Government commitment in Tasmania to pay reparative money to persons whom were removed from maternal care. Between Federation in 1901 and a referendum in 1967 which voted that Aborigines become counted as citizens of the nation of Australia, there was Government policy that all Aborigine children were wards of the state. That is the most significant reason for the fact that I, and many other, Aborigines, are now white.
There is some genetic research somewhere I heard about on the radio which has proven that Australian Aborigines genetics contain the genetics of all other races. I must find the references for the original research.
Even though the first Australians were white, and there have also been migrations of white skin folk from East Asia and Europe fairly recently, our racial identity is very much as a black skin people. Even among many whites. But there are some folk with a white skin Aboriginal identity whom want to make a point that they are better enabled in white skin. While other whites and most, but not all, blacks, are determined to prove that the black skin people have worked harder and received less, and are necessarily very proud of being black. I agree that they are still today far more extremely persecuted, but have experienced my self an astonishing degree of Government persecution only by identifying as an Aborigine. The racial politics in Australia are Hell! Quite literally because there became worse black magic than there was already around the whole situation I have here described.
Our people are very adept at managing disputes with extreme degrees of hatred, but without causing much community disturbance. There is a strong tradition of mock battles and acceptance of cruelty as a fact of the world which we are waiting for the end of. In fact, among the earlier/original inhabitants, there is a standardised ettiquette of expecting that the end of the world will be any day now and so trying to speed it up by using disputes to uncover what is the key to change. The problem is that if everybody can perceive that in future some bad guy does something bad, that any old person will jump at the chance to be the bad guy, but then too many become bad guys and end up trapping us all into being bad guys. I am a bad white guy in the Aboriginal Ummah. But a reliable one.
I think that the red hair genetic is Indigenous to here also, but another person reported it as indigenous to Vietnam.
I should say again for emphasis that many of us white guys are wanting to support the communities of Traditionally Oriented black skin nomads whom can clearly remember first seeing white men on their land during their childhoods. They have been raised without any need for money, and I believe that we can make certain that they live to see children born whom will be able again to live without need for money. That is partly what this photo is all about.
Peace in the Middle East!
keep it up!
