You think australian aboriginals have it good?
We had them listed as flora and fauna until 1974..


Did you systematically enslave and lynch them for over a century?

Yes, and no australian police officer has ever been charged with a death in custody of which there have been 119 in the last few years.
We also have a few things like a massacre where an entire tribe was pushed off a cliff at gunpoint because one man was murdered.
Oh and as recently as the 70's we were taking black babies off their parents and giving them to white families, its called the stolen generation, my great aunt was one.

With reference to police custody, it was not possible to calculate rates of death due to lack of reliable data, but there was no clear trend over the reference period based on raw numbers. The number of deaths in police custody in each year was "relatively small", with a total of 146 Indigenous deaths over the 25-year period. The largest number occurred in 2002–03 and 2004–05 (11 each), and the lowest in 2013–14 (1). As to the manner of death, 47% (68) of Indigenous deaths in police custody were classified as accidental with 57% (39) of these during motor vehicle pursuits and 19% (13) during another type of pursuit. Natural causes accounted for 21% (31), self-inflicted deaths 19% (28), "justifiable homicide" 7% (10) and "unlawful homicide" 5% (8). 56% (82) of Indigenous deaths were classified as deaths in which officers were not in close contact, while the remaining 44% (64) were deaths in which officers were in close contact with the deceased. This proportion was reflected similarly in the stats for non-Indigenous deaths in police custody (333 and 262 respectively).

I was a bit off, but yeah.
Not one police officer even lost their job.

Some of these cases include one where aboriginals were put in the canopy of a truck and bounced apart.

Jesus... I genuinely didnt know about that. We'd need to compare these numbers to the frequency of police abuse against white (or asian) Australians, but yeah, I believe you that mistreatment of Aborigines is disregarded.

Ill put it this way, i grew up poor, all of my friends were aboriginal, i am the only one out of my group of friends who has never been to prison and i am the only one who appears white.
I got let off all the time, hell i got let off for drinking underage with three of my friends who were arrested.

Sure, but most other countries dont have quite as toxic race relations as the U.S. - probably because even colonialized countries didnt go through over two centuries of literal enslavement and jim crow.

Which lasted for 70 years. Slavery and the Jim Crow era lasted for over 250.
