What a pity I just stumbled on this blog and the comments two years later. Point of correction Dr. Elma Ross on your comment “…and siding with someone who found refuge in a white (!) country, ” Indigenous Australians are the original inhabitants of the Australian continent and nearby islands and the descendants of these peoples. Indigenous Australians are distinguished as either Aboriginal people who first came about 56000-68000 years ago, probably by land bridges from Southeast Asia, New Guinea to Australia or Torres Strait Islanders, the indigenous people of the Torres Strait Islands, part of Queensland, Australia. They are culturally and genetically linked to the Melanesian peoples of Papua New Guinea.

And just like the red Red Indian are the indigenous peoples of the Americas are the pre-Columbian inhabitants of North, Central, and South America.

Australia’s first group of “white” European migrants arrived in January 1788. They came on a fleet warships, packed with almost 800 convicts. Governor Arthur Phillip was in command. When the fleet reached the planned destination of Botany Bay, Governor Phillip was disappointed to find that it was not suitable for settlement. So the fleet continued a few kilometers up the coast to an inlet named Port Jackson. Here Phillip found what he described as ‘the finest harbour in the world’. On its shore, at a place he named Sydney Cove, Phillip established the first European settlement in Australia.

The main reason for a British settlement in Australia was to provide a place of punishment where convicts could be sent. Phillip’s task was to establish such a settlement and make it self-supporting as soon as possible, so that the British government would not have to pay large amounts of money to keep it going. This was an enormously difficult job for several reasons:

The people who were to build the settlement were convicts. Generally they were not good workers and very few of them had any knowledge of farming or carpentry – the two skills most needed in the new colony.

Unlike Aborigines, who lived well off the land, the new settlers did not understand the Australian environment. Nor, in the early years, did they have much success in finding fertile land or growing enough food to feed the whole settlement.

The new convict settlement at Sydney Cove was very isolated. The nearest European settlements were in the Dutch East Indies and at the Cape of Good Hope.

It would take up to 18 months to get news to Britain and back.

To KP
the venom that you spat out at my talking openly about the human suffering is asstounding – considering that you are criticising me. Do you really think it is in keeping with the quest for securing human rights to turn a blind eye to the boer genocide, elderly people having their fingers cut off, muti murders and muti mutilations …

To KP – given that you see yourself and your opinions as superior to those like myself speaking out about the evil attacks on people in South Africa – and siding with someone who found refuge in a white (!) country, under the auspices of white people (as I understand from previous entries).
Maybe you should come live here, preferzbly on a white farm. The torture levels are really high. then you will have experience – not just head knowledge of a tiny aspect of the real reality.

I can type fast, so i can type and have a life.
I was personally, viscously attacked. thank you for your kind thoughts. Thank you for spitting your verbal venom on the people who are tortured – often to death. The torturous murder for white farmers haver reached the highset proportions in the world. It must be just up your street to see a small child pleading to a robber not to hurt his mommy – and then see her being raped. The websites of AfricanCrisis.co.za and AfricanCrisis.org and Stoptheboergenocide must be where you get your living room pictures from – this is the reality of many people arond here.

Maybe a few stab wounds in you stomach by a Black person would bring you to your senses.”

Sorry to dwell on this little soundbite but this further proves that you cannot possible be who you say you are. I certainly wouldn’t want such an inflammatory and obviously bigoted comment attributed to me if I were in your alleged position. But clearly you are the authority on all things African so that being said:

“Yes, good Doctor! You are right! Africa bad! Very, very bad! Let’s kill them all and stab them in THEIR stomachs! Yes! That’s the solution! And then we’ll establish White rule and all will be as God intended!!”

There. Another “Down with Africa” convert; you’ve succeeded in your mission. Happy now?

“Swallowed your tongue? (Keyboards?)”
Hardly. Unfortunately, I must tear myself way from my computer every now and then as I do have what we like to call a social life, clearly a foreign concept for you. Regarding your submissions, I will respond A) when I have the time and B) if your comment warrants a reponse.

That being said, you allege that I can only hold my own when talking with the less educated; I suppose I’m in the right place talking with you then, no? Moreover, if the pompous tone of your conversations with Mwangi is at all indicative of the substance of your articles, then no thank you. I prefer NOT to receive my information from those who view the world through a biased lens.

I stand by my earlier comments, despite the opinions of you and your alleged “post-doctoral psych student” focus group. Feel free to discredit me all you want, my dear. However, that will not change my opinion of you or the subject matter. Is this the example you set for your students? Go for the jugular when the opinions of another do not match your own (I am referring to your earlier conversations with Mwangi here) then become even more incensed when someone calls you out on your bad behvior? And you wonder why I question your title??

I’m going to close with this quote from this doctor I know: “Maybe a few stab wounds in you stomach by a Black person would bring you to your senses.” Wow, Elma. Classic.

Swallowed your tongue? (Keyboards?) Seems like you can only hold your own with less educated people who move the discussion to below the belt for the first time in this discourse, and choose to speculate about the integrity of institutions that grant the learned higher degrees (you were, essentially, also doubting the integrity of my promotors, the university, and the external promotor). You should be judging yourself and the psychological space you take up being a victim – which, means, in essence, blaming others.

Dear Magwani
we printed out these pages and circulated them amongst psychology students (postgraduate). Some of the comments are:
1. Mangwani identifies with people who feel sorry for her;
2. Mangwani will support the views of anyone supporting her in her self-pity program, even if such a person woul (i) try to discredit and anacemic), and (2) introduce some disgraceful statements;
3. Mangwani allegedly hangs on to the sponsorship of a White country ( – is this correct?), but keeps quiet about decendants from that same country being tortured to death in Africa.
You are proving a number of my theories. Go ahead.
