Goodes Racist.

[CureTheSane]

But if you make a claim that Aborigines are not good at the defensive aspect of the game you are accused of being racist, despite most Aborigines being attacking rather than defensive players.

Of if you claim that white Australians are "born to play XXX sport", you'd be seen as quite racist.

It's simply a touchy subject.
Any comment anywhere near to racism is going to get pounced upon.
To a large degree, most of us go out of our way to be SEEN to be not racist.
ie: We aren't racist, but are very careful how we say things so that we aren't construed as being racist some way.

How can Goodesy be racist????

I hate this expression! It demonstrates my point and the general ignorance about racism perfectly!

There is no such thing as "reverse racism". There is only racism!

... not the way Today Tonight tells it!!
They had a story on reverse racism the other night - about how certain asian repairmen are charging asians a tenth of what they're charging "white people".
It was sensationalism at its very best!!

Besides Bloods ... I'm having a dig. Maybe you can get Scotty to make me a special smilie that I can use so that you and ROKL don't jump down my throat every time I open my mouth to have a dig or make a joke. It may simplify things around here a bit.

Please don't presume that I'm ignorant - I think I know a little bit more about racism than you do ... purely from experiencing it of course.

EJ reckoned boys were meant to play ball sports, coz it's the first thing they grab when they wake up in the morning.

Sorry - I keep forgetting.

I might think Lucille Ball when I read your posts in future.

Not true! I was a reverse racist the other day. Just before I positively discriminated.

You're also a girly boy (in a macho feminine way) so I'm not surprised!



If you are offended by this MMG I will delete it.

Is it racist to assume that people of races that have been victims of racism know more about racism than people of races who have been less likely to be victims of racism?

(Please take this in the spirit of your post)

How rude is that?

It was a joke - normal banter with MMG following on from recent threads on a similar topic. I'll put a smiley in so others realise.

"When you see two brothers or three brothers playing on the same team you can just see this natural ability shine through.

"I think that comes from thousands and thousands of years of history there."

Hibbins, herself a major contributor to the Australian football anniversary publication, branded these comments by Goodes as "racist".

"If you define racism as believing a race is superior in something, this is basically what he (Goodes) was doing."

Did Goodes actually say aboriginal players are superior? Or did he just say that they were born to play Australian football and have a natural ability? That's not actually saying they're superior.

Hibbins needs a life. I can't wait to see the BF reaction.

why do you let BF get to you Deadly. It's great that you stick up for the club on that stupid site but at the end of the day is it worth arguing with the plethora of morons on bigfooty?
