Re: Adam Goodes

Yet again a generalisation suggesting Aboriginals perceive things the same way. People can take things as they choose to regardless of their race, colour or mindset.

If racial sledging was a hangable offence a jury couldn't possibly sentence this girl to death based on the evidence given. Too much room for doubt. Amazed so many are willing to play the racist card because it suits their purpose. Nobody could possibly guarantee she meant what she said in a racist fashion. She might have...then again she just might not have.

give her truth serum and strap her to BT's lie detector ::) Geez Rosy. Goodesy is a smart and considered man and a professional. As if HE would stop, point and be gutted if she was being anything less than pretty nasty. I'd say most Australians are racist without knowing it. Thats kind of the point here

When you get both sides amazed at each other perspective, its time to agree to disagree.
 
So Goodes chose to interpret something one way therefore it has to be gospel. :hihi

No truth serum needed. It doesn't matter. I am just interested how people choose to condemn when they couldn't possibly know the truth.

Yes it was obviously nasty. No dispute there. Doesn't mean he took it the way it was intended. He could easily have jumped to an incorrect assumption. We don't know the facts or what was going on in her head. We know what she said about it. There has to be an element of doubt.

Actually on second thoughts it might be a good idea because a lot of people would have to have a good think about themselves if she proved innocent of any racial intention.

Leysy said exactly what I for one was thinking. I don't consider myself a doogooder either. There were some doozies back there. I was dissapointed at first, then I just thought well PRE is a cross section, you don't have to agree with or accept or like everyone just because they barrack for Richmond (except for the 48 hour period following a flag win maybe). If he doesn't want to continue discussing racism on a footy site thats his business.

I found out DDT is a shrink (He reckons an imbecile is clinically dumber than a moron and an idiot is dumbest of all. who wouldve thunk? I would have thought it would be idiot, moron, imbecile in accending order of stupidity. Idiot has since been replaced by imbecile as an insult in our family as a result of this revelation. Language is interesting isnt it?)

I also found out that RFC77 has a great chilli plant collection.

Nobody suggested otherwise but thanks for telling me anyway. I'd still be interested to know what he was referring to. I probably agree with him.

I think the major difference in both these anecdotes is that the comment wasn't being yelled as abuse over the fence.

Yep fair enough.

Very kind of Eddie to take the focus away from the girl this morning. Clearly a mistake, but amazing nonetheless.
