It thus puts the point across that - you can say or believe what ever you want on issues of white colonisation, but the truth exists irrespective of what you think - and that truth is that kids were stolen (as was the land) and that whilst we can't change the past, we can "give it back" by offering and apology, as was given in parliament earlier this year. People who hold racist views on this issue are the rejects of modern society, they are uneducated and from the lower tiers of society. How can we dance, when their views are the ones held by politicians and other people apparently "at the top"? It's an injustice that causes our "beds" to burn.
