Mega Thread The Goodes, Eddie and Racism Megathread - media release post #845 Buckley interview post #1072

[Stevi_Tigers]

Ugly incident by the pie fan it also looks like the mother said something first a few bad seeds tarnish reputation for everyone also want to commend Eddie on the class he showed going into the Sydney rooms straight away

 

[Tulip]

Hope this won't be put on Collingwood, very good reaction from Eddie and the crowd who booed her off.

 

[Grape Bear]

Kudos to Eddie for taking the issue in hand decisively. Props to Collingwood for standing up and doing the right thing.

 

[Magpie Girl]

Her behaviour is totally unacceptable, disgraceful and everything else that's been said, however she is a teenager.

This sounds like a witch hunt.

As Eddie said she needs to be educated

 

[eddiebankbalance]

Oh FFs! There is always going to be a moron in the crowd who'll say the first thing that comes to mind. You'll never change that, regardless of lifetime banning or "off with her head".

Now! If this was 'Pride Round', there'd be MANY AFL players crying bigotry, regardless of sexual orientation. Cause you'll always have that moron in the crowd saying "nancy" "******" "girls dick" " weak campaigner " etc etc

Also, lots of shit is said on the field and stays on the field (cause it's the heat of the moment) same with supporters in the stadium.

Indigenous round, plus the Winmar photo exhibited and now this.

Those Masons started this game, as they do - they'll get you addicted then take it away unless you follow their rule, well **** YOU!

Does education really help with this sort of stuff?
I mean, I would've thought you're born or grown up like that.
So it's pretty hard to get it out of their system. Obviously not saying it's right or turn a blind eye or anything along those lines.
Just as Sawyer from Lost said "A tiger don't change his stripes"

 

[wicksy]

I imagine you are white. I presume that based on the stupid comment above. Only a white person could disregard a racial slur as meaningless and in jest.

While I don't see myself as racist and definitely do not condone these acts, isn't this statement racist towards white people?

Serious question but ever heard of a racist black man?

 

[the mighty T]

And thats why Ed is in charge of this club

This is a good post.

Although I said in my post that she should be "fired from a large cannon into the Sun" I probably should have put in a more measured response. It's worrying that she's a teenager. I hope that the reaction doesn't cause her a disproportionate amount of grief. You don't want it ending up like that nurse who took the prank call in England and handed the phone to Kate Middleton.

Agree. Education is the key.

 

[The Royal Sampler]

Yes of course it is.

For some reason society tends to overlook statements that discriminate against a majority.

 

[Greening Magic]

As terrible as it is, lets not lynch a teenage girl to satisfy our adult moral outrage.

 

[Demonalke]

Based on what triple M were saying about Goodes' reaction post match... there was definitely a racial slur. Name and shame tje scum bag and ban her for life. **** off you little bitch you're a disgrace to the club and I'm ashamed to have anything in common with you. It's bad enough normally, but this weekend is about respect for indigenous players. I hope she never attends a match again.

YEAH! what a little **** whore... slit her throat. How dare she spontaneously come up with a racial taunt in a society full of racial tolerance - I bet she is radical islamb muzlum, everyone in her life must be angels and she just has decided to abandon the rainbow and go for hate... I hope she hangs herself tonight. THIS TEENAGE GIRL MUST TAKE RESPONSIBILITY

(oh by the way - I think you are all sick ****s for stooping to this TEENAGE GIRLs level of name calling [ok hers was racist - yours is misogynistic but women are bitchez ])

 

[Primetime Pricey]

So people are seriously wanting to ban this young girl for life? FFS. Clearly she said something racial and she needs to pay the consequence for it but she should be educated more then anything. Its not like this was a adult yelling at Goodes, its a kid. Kids say stupid stuff. Education should be the 1st point of call surely.

 

[The Royal Sampler]

Maybe I'll go read up on what you all said about Liam Jurrah.

Jurrah? Bloke's a ****wit and race has nothing to do with it.

 

[wicksy]

Yes of course it is.

For some reason society tends to overlook statements that discriminate against a majority.

Just the fact we have an indigenous round and no "white" round suggests that the AFL thinks that there is something "wrong" or "inferior" about indigenous people. If we want to show equality in society, then there should be no special round to celebrate any particular race or sex.

 

[eddiebankbalance]

He can't help it. He has rose coloured glasses on.

Seriously, I wouldn't be surprised if you happen to say something stupid like "Bucks was behind it". Seriously, I hope you don't say it - cause then you'll be 100% exposed.

 

[dansa]

So disappointed. I don't care if she is 15. No excuse.
Ban her membership.

 

[MUYB]

Yes of course it is.

For some reason society tends to overlook statements that discriminate against a majority.

Try looking up the concept of Privelege for why this might be the case.

 

[eddiebankbalance]

Jurrah? Bloke's a silly person and race has nothing to do with it.

 

[Boxhead_31]

All class from Eddie, the way he has handled it has been first class

 

[carndapies]

She looks like shes aboit 14? She had a brain snap and goodes should have dealt with it in a more mature way then pointingout a young girl in front of thousands of people. Should have reported it after the match to let the appropriate authorities deal with it

 

[The Royal Sampler]

Try looking up the concept of Privelege for why this might be the case.

And this justifies misdirecting one's prejudice at a large group of people who share a common trait how, exactly?

 

[carndapies]

Thats racist against white people?

Media would have worked it out anyway, unless you expect Goodes to cop it and show no immediate emotional response to what was said simply to protect a girl vilifying him.
