The Nightingale

Post: # 1905Post Brandyboy »

I`ve just watched this film and found it very powerful.

Apart from the main theme of the film which was extremely violent, the underlying one was how Australias indigenous prople were treated, and still are to some extent, by the early settlers, mainly white.

I couldn`t help but draw a comparison to the Indian race of North America ... They were also cruelly treated and driven off of their land.

White people have lot to answer for.

..we are not responsible for the sins of our fathers, none of us..

..if we were then the entire human race is guilty, the Germans and Japanese for the last war, the Italians for the Roman oppressions, the Arabs for the Slave Trade, the Israelis for Palestine, the Spanish for the Conquistadors,the Africans for their tribal squabblings, the Indians for the caste system, the ...etc etc etc

I am not responsible for your sins, nor you for mine..that is my motto...

Happy New Year! :D

I`m not saying that we`re responsible.

I`m saying that in two shamefull periods in history, white people had a lot to answer for.
And apart from your examples, only the Indians are non white .. But yes .. mans inhumanity to man.
A Happy New Year to you too Francisco .. :drink:

Tonight we're in Playa Flamenca with a couple of cocktails in Breeze, a meal in Gong ( Papaya Tree ) then more cocktails and then see the New Year in with our friend Richie Alexander downstairs in Legends. :guitar player:
