a sound that we have missed for a long time
Australian government said sorry to Aborigines after Australian people did. The picture is the combination of Aborigine and Australia flags.
"We apologise for the laws and policies of successive parliaments and governments that have inflicted profound grief, suffering and loss on these our fellow Australians," Australian PM, Kevin Rudd.
I do not know what Australian racists would think about their PM. But, humanity must be proud of him. Extremely "rational" decisions which are confined by national borders and ethnic identities do not involve the words like SORRY. The ones who internalize the idea that nationalism is constructed and politically artificial thing can break their chains as Rudd did.
Now, we should let Rudd's decison be the first fallen piece of domino stones!
