"...This form of projection formed the psychological backdrop for slavery..." Well then King Solomon, must have used his good buddies, and people from his court. to Mine the Salt. Because according to you, (by reading a book endorsed by, Kum-By-You Fairy Dust Sprinklers) You came to the conclusion, their was not any slaves, prior to the US. Of Course, absolutely NO slavery ever in Australia Source: https://www.creativespirits.info/aboriginalculture/history/australia-has-a-hi...Australia's slavery started because other countries abolished it. When the American Civil War cut off the world’s cotton supply, Australian slaves were used to establish cotton plantations in southern Queensland. A strong male would cost the modern equivalent of between $5 and $19, while women, particularly Tahitians, who were regarded as the most attractive, often fetched $32.
Between 1842 and 1904 more than 60,000 men and boys from the South Pacific islands, and an unknown number of women and girls, were kidnapped and brought to Australia to work as slaves on the sugar plantations that still dot the country’s north-east coast.
Between the 1860s and the 1970s, Aboriginal people of all ages were taken from their homes and sent to work on cattle and sheep properties all across Australia. Several such schemes were run by colonial and state governments, theoretically to protect Aboriginal Australians from mistreatment.
And: Is there still slavery today?
Yes. Between 2004 and 2014. The skin has changed but the snake is the same. It now looks like a girl forced into marriage at the age of 12; a hospitality worker who had her passport taken from her and is told that she must work 15-hour days to ‘repay her debt’; or sex-trafficked women shackled to beds.Source: https://www.creativespirits.info/aboriginalculture/history/australia-has-a-hi...Just to remind you, a answer to how Australia treats, immigrants/refugees/asylum seekers. Still go's unanswered ! (Even after providing you with several links), after several requests. One more thing. Gee Wally, every, ranting post,
you are sounding more and more like the he/she called tt.OH, what are tt’s shoe size ?
