Mega Thread Adam Goodes starring in Lord of the Flies - The only place to post Goodes stuff - Read the OP

[Chief]

When someone can explain to Me that a boo is racist remark I will then have some understanding. But at the moment I think society has gone mad. Do I think Goodes is being bullied? Yes but in a professional competitive sport it's fair game and he needs to either put up with it or retire.

Who is saying that "a" boo is a racist remark? Have you read a single word that's been written about this?

 

[Pessimistic]

You think booing an umpire is the same as the crap Goodes has gotten? What planet are you living on and how does one avoid it?

Do they qualify for the 'bullying' people in the discussion have been suggesting ?

Its legitimate if legal proceedings are required because they have different standards to talkback media

you respond to posts with short, shallow, pithy quips. you'll be fine.

you're not going drag me into the other stuff. the goalposts on this issue have been shifted and widened well and truly, and in a very short space of time. i'm not going to deny his history, or others. and i'm not going to presume a connection where none has been established.

i can empathise with the plight of people that have been shit on. i disagree with this extra narrative that's been attached to the original story. but without it, how else to clamber to the moral high ground where you can piss on people. people love nothing more than to attain that moral high ground.

You forgot to use the word "uppity". Would have saved you a couple of sentences.

I am the epitome of the Internet bully.

Just anywhere in your post. Or daily intercourse.

Guy on SEN rang up and said he has 2 guys working for him. 1 is black and 1 is white. The white guy is a good worker the black guy isnt.

Whenever he pulls the black guy up on his poor work, he claims that it is just racism.

The opinion of the SEN people was that as long as the black guy thinks its racism then it is.

Is this really where we are heading ?

Why bring up their colours then?

 

[grizzlym]

Why bring up their colours then?

I'd say it says more about the intelligence of the SEN listeners canvassed.

 

[Furn2]

Why bring up their colours then?

Because the guy who was a crap worker said it was racism, the black guy brought colour into it, just like Goodes has.

According to a caller on talk back radio because they do so much fact checking on those things.....and don't screen callers for the comments they want and don't have agendas or anything

Hahaha the SEN listeners do it again.

It doesnt matter, even if its made up or a hypothetical question.

Something is now racist if the "victim" decides it is. If I lock my car just as a black guy walks past it and he decides to take offence to that, I'm a racist.

People are giving the green light for minorities to blame everything wrong with their lives on their race.

Actually I would suggest that it does matter if its made up. The purpose of that story is to portray white people as the victim and Im sure it appeals to a lot of listeners otherwise it wouldn't have made it on air.

Your response is exactly the result they want from that story true or false

Are you actually being serious? Tell me that you're not.

 

[Taskmaster]

I have to confess, I was a Racist tonight. I boo'ed the umpires, not just once, but several times. Do I need councelling?

 

[Furn2]

Do you even read this site ?

My response is to the hosts of the shows ascertaining that in that true or not true scenario, it would be racism to criticise a black worker, so long as the worker decided it was racsim.

So no one on here has put forward the theory that if Goodes believes the boos are racist then they are racist ?

If someone takes offence to something then its offensive ?

You havent seen the thousands of posts pushing this theory ?

I never referred to Goodes, I specifically referred to this section of your post:

"Something is now racist if the "victim" decides it is. If I lock my car just as a black guy walks past it and he decides to take offence to that, I'm a racist."

This is the line being pushed.

Oh and that actually happened to me btw.
