Moreover, the Commissioners found that contemporary Aboriginal disadvantage and inequality is 'linked directly to the processes of disempowerment which had occurred through two hundred years of domination [and is thus] the historical legacy of colonisation' (Cunneen, C, 1997, page 4 You may wish to search for this article for a more expanded read). Consequently, Commissioner Elliott Johnston concluded that 'the over-representation of Aboriginal people in custody, and the deaths of some of them, are part of the ongoing conflict between 'coloniser' and 'colonised'' (National Report, volume 1, 1991, page 4). The legacies of colonisation or underlying issues identified and examined by the Royal Commission that we will be exploring throughout this course, are of utmost concern to contemporary Indigenous Australians. They include: * racism and the history of Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal relations * dispossession of
Jerome Henson HIST 157 6984 7 July, 2009 Race relations in America, Between 1897 and 1945 The United States has had long deep rooted history of racial inequality. Some will argue that this country was established on racist sentiments, such as “manifest destiny”. This term was interpreted to mean that the United States was destined to take over North America. America’s expansionist goals, would lead to the suffering and disenfranchisement of a number of races, in America, and abroad. Ideas such as expansionism, nationalism, and racial superiority, will prove to have a lasting effect on race relations in this country, for many years to come.

Hist 2313 March 25, 2012 Race, class and Gender issues are commonly a issue in our world. Throughout history today many groups have been curious not just for their race, sex, and class as well.

Society decides to put aside this classifying system and classifies one another by the color of our skin.
It is frightening to have a look at many challenges young people have to deal with in Australia. Its not that there has been an increase in the amount of challenges faced by our youth in the past couple of decades simply the intensity associated with these challenges seems to have come to a new level. There is a certain message in Bruce Dawe’s poetry, an is challenges. Bruce Dawe is a modern Australian poet with a diversity of poems. Two poems that explore challenges are "homecoming and genesis”.
During World War II and for many years after it, Aboriginal people continued to be oppressed and exploited. The climate of rebellion that developed in the 1960s was increasingly felt in movements against racism. In many parts of the world, oppressed people, such as black people in America, were becoming more determined to expose and challenge discrimination, racism, and injustice. Although many problems have continued to exist, enormous gains were made in the struggle for Aboriginal Australian rights from the 1960s to the 1990s. Although it seems unlikely to happen in this day and age, in the twentieth century, Australia had its own government policies which would allow, or even promote, discrimination against the Aboriginal Australians.
How much progress has there been in ‘reconciliation’ between indigenous and non-indigenous Australians since the early 1990s?

Australian identity, is an idea that is too big for anyone person to fully understand. Yet it is solely constructed from every small individual’s perception. In contrasting the Citizenship booklet, the government’s guide for future Australian citizens and True Blue? the anthology that “reminds us of our varied heritage” (True Blue?, 2008), it is evident that there are many versions of Australian identity. The two texts suggest that to generalise Australian culture and identity into one category is problematic.
