Summary
In today's society we as Aboriginal people are looked down upon as the cause for crime, violence, gangs and drug users. In the media when a crime is committed by an Aboriginal person the article is to be sure that the people know that an aboriginal person is the one who is the cause of the crime. If a Caucasian person has committed a crime that is worse than the crime committed by an Aboriginal it is looked at and forgotten.
Many Aboriginal people who defend themselves are actually the drug users, alcoholics and street people. I ask myself when I see that happen, "should he/she even be saying something to their defense." I believe that they should not say something, because they are not taking care of themselves. They still have substance abuse, sexual, verbal, physical, and emotional abuse issues that have not been dealt with. They can not move forward because their past is not healed. It has to start with you. Only you can change your life and make the world better for yourself.See the full content of this document
