Goodes didn't set out to be racially abused, just as he never set out to be racially abused in the past when these (and other) taunts were directed at him in the past. What he did was actually quite brave, and only a cynic or someone with an agenda would have reason to think that he did it out of some desire for self-aggrandisement.
I wasn't disappointed by my football club on Friday night. I am now. |
I wonder how your holier than thou Mr Goodes felt about a child, just turned 13, being grilled by MCG Gestapo for two friggin hours, with no legal presence, and no parents either. ! How do you sleep, Goodes. ??
BUT, on the upside for her at last, the heat is now off her thanks to eddies gaffe, so let us hope this kid can move on, as Goodes should. ![Idea](images/smiles/icon_idea.gif) _________________ Poverty exists not because we cannot feed the poor, but because we cannot satisfy the rich.

Piesnchess, words fail me mate. I totally agree with you and if you only realise the blatant double standards being displayed by the media, you will be as sick as me.
I might as well sue the indigenous person who called me a stupid frigging Coconut even though at the time I had no idea what the hell it meant (I thought it was a dig at my very short haircut) and didnt give a flying crap anyway! Apparently this is a racist comment that means that I'm brown on the outside but white in the middle!!
Geez

My in laws spent a few months traveling through QLD, NT and Northern WA about two years ago. They walked into a pub to grab a bite to eat, but as they entered everyone in the bar looked at them.
They were immediately told by one of the patrons that they weren't allowed up the front of the pub and they would have to sit out the back because this was a "black fellas pub".
Racist as anything, but it would never be reported. |

My point exactly!! What would our "Mr Goodes two shoes" say about that one I wonder???
I HATE double standards. All racism is wrong, not just grandstanding about ONE issue alone.... ![Rolling Eyes](images/smiles/icon_rolleyes.gif) |

'A 13-year-old girl who was ejected from the MCG for racially abusing Adam Goodes had no idea ''ape'' was a racist slur '
[http://www.canowindranews.com.au/story/1531599/ejected-teenage-fan-didnt-know-ape-was-racist/] - et al.
Perhaps - just perhaps - this darling young thing has an issue with her contact lenses, and that's all. Perhaps she mistook her perception of what was in front of her and was simply raising alarums that Parkville's primates were on an escapade, a la John Irving's 'Setting Free the Bears'. (And, no, that work has no relationship to a certain relocated Fitzroy team either.) _________________ ... Whereof one cannot speak, thereof one must be silent ... Wittgenstein |

You might have heard otherwise but I have not heard Goodes mention even ONE example of racism from indigenous persons towards others mate. If you have solid evidence of this, please quote him by all means and I shall happily stand corrected. ![Exclamation](images/smiles/icon_exclaim.gif) |

Um, what? Why would he have to? In what context?
If you think there's as much racism directed towards whites as there is towards Aboriginal people (and that one has as much impact as the other) then I have a bridge to sell you.
