perhaps it would be a good gesture to have TT toss the coin, he owes us at least that much seeing he is one of two indig players on the list

My thoughts...

There's one coin we'll never see again................

why ruin an accurate post with that statement at the end CUB?

Because its the ttttruth.

It's all ok when we praise the "blackfellas" (as they refer to themselves) for having special talents in the game - eg "gee those brothers are awesome"

But if we make similar reference from the other side of the bridge,It's wrong -HTF Does that work ?

Suck an ars.

The club is only keeping the door open for him because he is black?
On what basis do make that call?

Buying Troy a house.. does that allude to Indigenous Australians getting a free ride?

it only refers to Troy complaining that the club hadn't bought him one yet. It seemed it was one of the reasons he went back home.

That comment could very easily be taken out of context, we have no idea if he meant buy an actual house or if he needed assistance finding a house he could rent by himself. With his history it would have been difficult to get approval on a lease.

On the issue of racism if you use colour or race in a derogatory manner it's racism. You can never understand it unless you are in a position of minority or oppression. It's offensive and a completely unacceptable.

I didnt realise i did ?

If that was the case then the new indigenous centre would be nothing more than a Hostel for "unsettled" aboriginal footballers,free to come and go as they wished.

The door aint open for him.
It's just more combative propaganda on the eve of the dreamtime game.

Perhaps as WP alluded, this is along the lines of what CUB actually meant.
I just interpreted it differently.

Conversly, are you implying that its less offensive to be racist towards people who form part of societies 'majority' or non-oppressed?  If so, why?

If so, your just feeding everyone the typical PC, bull plop

And in your opinion, who are the 'oppressed' in this country and why? Who is oppressing who? How and why? Through what institutions and means, and societal systems?

But how do you define "derogatory manner"? It's a catch 22 at times - seriously and it all comes back to ones own moral compass doesn't it?

Why? because someone may make a comment that to them is made innocently and someone else will decree or imply that is derogatory and therefore racist, when it wasn't meant that way at all.

I seen examples of it throughout this thread.

Clearly there are things that are out of bounds for a reason and so they should be. They cannot be disputed

But then there are things that fall into the grey areas; which are usually comments that are misconstrued as being racist when they are not.

So do you deem the person who makes a comment innocently but has it construed by someone else a certain way as a racist? We shouldn't but we do. Is that right, accapetable? One would hope NO but sadly it appears at times it doesn't work like that

I've said it before and I will say it again what one person finds offensive another wont; so who's right and who's wrong?
