A historically significant day for Australians

It really has nothing about guilt but understanding what has happened. We didn't kill or kick out any of the American Indians but we did benefit from it.

If my and your family are out on the street and decide to take over Merc's house so we have a place to stay and your father goes in, kills Merc's family, and we both move in. Neither of us did any of the killing and we may be friends with Merc's kid but the fact is that both me and you benefit from your dad killing Merc and that Merc's kid is directly hurt from you killing his father.

We as a nation and a group of people have to recognize what we did, how we still benefit from it today, and stop treating the American Indians like savages.
