Quite frankly I think it's a load of fluff. I only read about it on the weekend after she was found out to be lying. I know they're selling but it's a story that I'll soon forget.
Council security officer?
Asking homeless people to move on?
Not a fun job I'm sure.
Do you ever call them "Black *****" or something similar? Perhaps out of ear shot?
Again, totally irrelevant to the subject matter in this thread.
And two wrongs don't make a right. By that reasoning, racism should be open slather.
You probably deal with down-and-outers on a weekly basis, correct? Probably mainly trained to enforce the law? You are making a judgment against people because they are aboriginal as much as they are making a judgment against you because you are white... and in a uniform. You are in authority, they are not. Excuse me for questioning any idea that you are the victim. The inequity is there.
No such inequity existed on the football field, therefore irrelevant. And a completely different situation to your personal experience.
Well you brought it up, and did so to support racism on the football field. It has become the basis of your argument.
Are you sure it does not worry you 'one bit'?
Hillbilly, I don't know the people who are being racist towards you. You seem to be suggesting that is a wholesale response from a section of the Aboriginal community in Taree.
I'm happy to assist you in side-tracking the thread for a moment.
Why do you think so many of these people are vilifying you?

council security, ahh no i am a council ranger aking homeless people to move on is a police matter, i deal with animal control, pollution matters and various other acts and regulations
do i ever call them black merkins out of earshot?, no i dont
do i deal with down and outers?, ahh no wrong again, i do deal with various people from different socio economic and ethnic backgrounds, but the true down and out people are looked after by various other government departments
do i make judgements about people because they are aboriginal? when i go to a job, no i dont, i am more proffessional then that i go into every situation with an open mind, and that is why a fair pecentage of the aboriginal population up here, will say gday and have a talk when they see me on foot
the next part got me.......so because i am in uniform and an authority figure, you are saying that it is ok for some of the aboriginal population to call me a white merkin because there is a percieved inequity there, but after gallens hand got stomped on (wether on purpose or accidently) it is not ok for gallen to maybe, possibly call paea a black merkin (remember there is still no definite audio as to what was said)
fair enough there is no inequity on the football field
does it worry me one bit?,, no it dosent as i said before if it worried me, i would not be doing the job i am,
if i worried everytime i got called a name i would deadset give it up
why are people villifying me?, probarbly because they open their mouths before the brain is in gear due to anger
now back to my original argument, the reason i posted my first post was to show people how dumb they were being by calling gallen a racist grub when there was no proof as to what was said, remember there is still nothing definite as to what was said all the media , the sharks and the nrl have been using words like "alleged" and phrases like the daily telegraph understands"........maybe i should have been more direct with my first post, but what the hey it backfired, i will cop that
