Check out this outburst. Hoooooeee!

"If it was a snake it would already have bitten you from Tysons first post. He still has absolutely no Idea what this (topic) is even about. He has taken offense straight away & ran with it in the direction of his choosing. In a very bias, hateful manner. His way of discussing it is putting himself on a soap box to go off on a superiority rant meanwhile attempting to insult my intelligence. I am not impressed. If fact, very much disappointed with the ignorance & arrogance displayed here."

This angry declaration is the result of a failed attempt by myself to enter a debate with a western academic in an indigenous forum online. Do you want to see the rest of the abuse? Check out the article Native Mythology for more excerpts from the thread.

"You make me sick!...hateful comments...the juvenile words & ignorance of one bad apple..."

Aggressively attacking Indigenous people with accusations of being too angry or ignorant is a common technique used in western academic and political circles to exclude Aborigines from having a voice in public debate. See also how this works in Australian feminism, in the article Feminism vs Native Rights.
