Julian2 Posted February 2, 2007 Report Share Posted February 2, 2007 Union jack symbol of pillage: Boxer Anthony Mundine has likened the British treatment of Aborigines to the murder of six million Jews in the Holocaust. Mundine, who has released a rap music video of Aborigines tearing up a photograph of the Prime Minister John Howard and burning the Union Jack, says Australia needs to learn from the way Germany re-established itself after the Holocaust. "John Howard has got to step to the plate, admit he is wrong, just like the Germans did back in the day and admitted under Hitler what they did and then moved forward," Mundine told Channel Nine. He said the union jack was not a symbol to be proud of. "It symbolises murder, raping, pillaging of the native people of the land," he said. "The burning of the flag, we burn it, or the people burnt it, because they want to wash away with the dark side, with the dark past that Australia's got in its history and let's move forward, get a more unified place for the people." In the video the ritualistic burning takes place against the background of Mundine's rags to riches rap lyrics: "I am just one man, it ain't the whole of the nation, politicians won't say sorry for the stolen generation." Mundine has a world title fight in less than five weeks time, but said the latest controversy over the music video would not affect his preparations.
