There are some in the community..who believe that Pauline Hanson and her One Nation Party was racist..

I am one of those who believe she was..although now she has remerged , is she trying to shed that image and remake it into something a little more politically paleteable or is it just the same old Pauline Hanson?

Is it a case of you can take the girl out of the............etc.?

This link brings us up to date on her return.

A little background on Pauline .

Obviously you are wrong.

The reasons can be found in the One Nation topic on this site.

But I don't expect anyone with such seemingly baseless bias to accept the facts. (I say that because you offer no reasons)

One Nation isn't Hanson or visa versa.

yet they were both vilified unfairly and wrongly.

T800,
You are right, I will outline a bit more asap. I guess what I wanted to know if she was in fact perceived as racist and why and if that is so, if there is a support base that has encouraged her to try her luck again.

As for yourself, why do you believe she wasnt rascist>?

Did you not believe that some of her statements, especially those made under Parliamentary priviledge were not based in reality and she was obviously not armed with facts with some of the assertions she has made of Indigenous PPle and more recently, shes at it again with comments that Africans bring HIV into the country.?

I will post a broader opening statement later on.

everyone has an affinity for their own race. People who say they dont ("we are not racist") are just kidding themselves or deluding themselves.

I'm not taking about withholding service here on the grounds of race. Racial discrimination. I'm just saying that everyone is racist because mankind is tribal by nature and what is a race but a tribe.
