black people are cool

funny, and maybe that's all that they have left, but you're confusing opportunity with ability. We're a product of our environments; they shape our personalities and cultures.

Australia was, and is, largely inhospitable. No chance to build a surplus of food leading to a surplus of people leading to a focus on cultural advancement- city centers, temples, etc.

Isolated from trade for so many years, both material and cultural, aborigines did not have the benefit of exchange that led to most of the gains of civilization.

Imagine if the societies that invented agriculture, or metallurgy, or animal husbandry (all middle eastern, by the way) were still the only societies that still had them? Where would that leave the rest of us?

Put the indigenous in "modern" society and they function as well as anyone else. There are many well documented examples of this from south america, the pacific islands and even australia. It's so true as to be unremarkable these days- only the racists still marvel when it happens.

We gain by sharing knowledge. Racism, xenophobia and hatred take us nowhere.
To quote an old tv commercial: Where do you want to go today?

aboriginals had trade with asia but it did not gain much

Nothing to trade= no trade. They had contact at best.

Wig on your black people!

Why the obsession with people that beg for money and are always drunk or high and very racist to very other race in Australia?

Spiders only have one feeling I care about, that partly crunchy and squishy feeling under the sole of my shoes.
