Above are the last two full-blooded Tasmanian people. The woman's name is Truganini.) - After a visit to Australia, CharlesDarwin, 19th century British biologist and geologist, said, "Wherever the European had trod, death seems to pursue the Aboriginal." In 1803, the British began to settle the island, after "discovering" it for themselves in 1642. Only 73 years later, the last of around 6,000 native inhabitants had been murdered. The European settlers kidnapped Tasmanian children for servants and women for concubines; they killed or mutilated the men and conquered their hunting land in an attempt to expel them from their territory. Major stories include a lone shepherd killing 19 Tasmanians with a nail rifle, while 4 other shepherds ambushed a group of natives, killed thirty of them and dumped their bodies off a cliff known today as "VictoryHill". The native Tasmanians attempted retaliation, and as part of the effort to prevent the escalation of a war, in April of 1828 Governor Arthur ordered that all Tasmanians must leave the part of the island settled by Europeans. To enforce the order, government-sponsored "patrol teams" composed of prisoners led by policemen were established. The “patrol teams” chased and killed Tasmanians as the soldiers had the authority to immediately kill any Tasmanian they found in the settled areas. Afterwards, a price was set for native heads: 5 British pounds for an adult, and 2 pounds for a child (caught alive). This pursuit was known as "Catching Blacks". All remaining Tasmanians were taken to "prisons" (Concentration Camps) under the authority of a missionary named George Augustus Robinson in 1830; many died on the way to this concetration camp on Flinders Island, 50 kilometers from Tasmania. They were they only survivors.
A host of positive psychological changes inevitably will result from widespread economic security. The dignity of the individual will flourish when the decisions concerning his life are in his own hands, when he has the means to seek self-improvement. Personal conflicts among husbands, wives and children will diminish when the unjust measurement of human worth on the scale of dollars is eliminated. - Martin Luther King Jr.

Where does " Nigger " Come From?
The above picture is of the Common Chimpanzee, scientifically the "Pan Troglodyte" of West and Central Africa. The particular ones native to West Africa were nicknamed Troglodyte Nigers (Latin for black) by Europeans that ventured into the country Niger. Although, it is speculated a derogatory connotation of black, like Niger in Latin, was converted to "Nigger" in English, Niger actually meant King to the Ibo people. (Anithetical to that, Nigeria meant Queen) Similar theoretical origins of Nigger are Naga- wise Kundalini serpent of Nubia, TaMare, (ancient Egypt) and Hinduism and Buddhism, Negus and Negash- Ethiopian emporer or black king.
The name #Troglodyte means "cave or den dweller", similar to Europeans. These Chimps are very hairy with Eumelanin protective fur and pale Pheomelanin skin, similar to Europeans. Troglodyte also means "a person who is viewed as being deliberately ignorant or old-fashioned," similar to Europeans who were thousands of years behind the rest of the world. Why do i keep emphasizing the European similarity to wild apes? Because the tables have been turned!
Another contraversy is African (American) people calling themselves "black." Our skin is not literally black, but to the molecular structure of our skin, Carbon which is black is the source of our brown Eumelanin pigment. So molecularly we are black, just as the universe, in which "black" is not a color but means the total absorption of white light. (The source/entity able to refelct the color spectrum) And what color do "white" Europeans turn when they are born? Pink. When they develop healthily? White. When they're hurt or bruised? Red. When they suffocate? Blue. When they tan? Orange. When they get sick? Green. When they DIE? Purple. And they called US colored? Once again, the tables have been turned.
So should we take offense to our own words being perverted? No. We should educate ourselves more on our history and the origin of mankind. We are the first people of this earth, so why do we let people come in and teach us their religion, or let them control all aspects of our living?
