Andrew Bolt, Australia’s most despicable racist, seems to be intent on reducing the indigenous population in Australia. One has to wonder if his eventual aim is not to ‘breed them out of existence’ entirely.
His program – or should that be ‘pogrom’ – is to start by accusing some indigenous people of not being Aboriginal because they look white. His eventual aim with this first part of his campaign to rid Australia of its Aboriginal peoples is to excise from the Aboriginal community those that do not actually look Aboriginal. In order to provide himself with credibility he has managed to garner the support of a full blood Aboriginal politician, Bess Price, who has jumped on the bandwagon of Aboriginality for purely political purposes.
As a result, Bolt has now succeeded in setting Aboriginal people against Aboriginal people. His next move no doubt will be to advocate for a ‘standard’ to be set for Aboriginality with a cut off point dictating where on ones family tree the last full-blood Aboriginal relative should be positioned before one is classed as Aboriginal and, after which, one cannot claim Aboriginality. (Shades of Nazi Race laws creeping in here. You could not have been a Nazi in the SS unless you could prove racial purity back to 1750.)
Will Australia see officers of the Australian Racial Hygiene and Demographic Biology Research Unit running around Australia measuring up the facial features of those who are claiming to be Aboriginal?
Some people have suggested to me that Andrew Bolt is just a harmless racist crank and should be left to prattle his nonsense without drawing attention to him. The problem, however, is that Bolt is no longer just a harmless racist crank; he has support from one of the world’s most powerful media men. He has his own blog. He has his own TV show. And he has a small but dedicated following of likeminded followers who seem to have been taken in by his racist garbage.
Just when Australia seemed to be getting rid of its racist image, we now look even worse than we ever were.
It’s time to shut Bolt down before his obnoxious race hatred really does get the better of Australia.
