Any person/nation is indeed foolish to judge others by their very own standards. Is Australia any more rasist than other countries ? I don't think so. Rasism is more overt in developing coutries. I have come to this conclusionthrough vairous experiences in many different life situations.

Hi Rainer,
Welcome back – though, with CJ around it never felt like you ever left ( it being hard to tell your posts apart –bib & bub, like!)

And you certainly hit the ground running--with an insightful statement like this:
<<Whiteness stands for the relative privilege, profit and power of those occupying the structural social positions of whites in a hierarchically ordered racial society, as such, racist states are states of whiteness.>>

So, I guess this guy had a looooot of whiteness, ay?

And this guy is a whitee too:

Then there’s this guy, whoooey! with a reputation like this:

"Mengistu assumed the presidency of Ethiopia in a military coup which ousted Haile Selassie in 1974. His links with the Russians and his ruthless nature earned him the tag ‘the red terror’. Using so-called ‘neighbourhood commitees’, Mengistu had as many as 1.5 Million of his own people executed in just four years between 1975 and 1979. This ranks among the top ten genocides of the twentieth century"

He absolutely must have been a whitee!

G’day Crabbsy, I read your article.
That’s your opinion, I would assume it compliments a non confrontational approach to life in general, however it doesn’t suit mine as it isn’t, as Chairman Mao would have framed it “progressive”.
Racial discrimination can be used in a positive way however Anti Racism is focused on the negation or destruction of race and cannot be the foundation of a just society, Race is Real and it matters, the evidence is right before our eyes.
Just as an example, ignoring race makes reconciliation between Black and White Australians impossible and further entrenches the structural inequalities inherent in the Anglo Elitist system.
Implied equality under the law is used as a smokescreen by the Anglo elite to cover over substantive Racial inequality and negative discrimination thus perpetuating the status quo.
For example how could an Aboriginal person prove that they have been discriminated against on the basis of race while living under the N.T intervention if we had a legal system which denied the existence of race?
As it is they have suspended the Act and instituted "special measures" based on Race, that's no way to govern, it's just plain wrong.
Anti Racism is just another "special measure" to ensure compliance and complicity of Whites in the ongoing genocide of Indigenous Australians, we're left between a rock and a hard place which is just where the Regime wants us.
Support for the Intervention technically makes us "racists" but not supporting it makes us look guilty of turning a blind eye to Indigenous disadvantage, we're paralysed, unable to move in any direction.
Both the Left Wing Anti Racism =Anti White and Right Wing "One Nation" positions serve one end,they are two sides of the same coin, the destruction of Racial identity in the mainstream to maintain the White Privilege of the Anglo Elite.

Here are two articles which put forth a different point of view on Race, I hope you enjoy reading them.

<< Race is Real and it matters, the evidence is right before our eyes >>

Utter twaddle. "Race" is a social construct and it only matters to racists.

If you have any actual contrary evidence, please provide it - rather than blathering on interminably with your self-described "contemptuous and inflammatory material", with which you blatantly set out to bait your moral and ethical betters.

With some success, apparently.

However, I'm not biting. Put up or shut up.

Please.

CJ, I have "Put Up", I can do that until the cows come home because there are thousands of examples, If you won't even accept that I have a position then there's no point trying to prove anything to you.
I'd suggest you would be the one who should retire from the field and let others answer for themselves since you have not contributed one constructive post to this discussion.
Other might have views that could further enhance the discussion but bullies such as you, David and Johnny want to stop any conversation that doesn't concur with your own narrow minded approach.
If you think race is a social construct then you are covering for and participating in the genocide of not one but two distinct and identifiable groups in this country, Whites and Aboriginals.
Anti Racism is a shortcut to absolution from Racial responsibility, people like you want to hide your Whiteness to escape responsibility for the past and maintain your position of privilege forever.
You are, in your own terms a "Denier".
As Robbie Thorpe says; "The days of plenty are over"
Anti Racism is part of a parasitic, elitist system of which you are an enthusiastic supporter.

Since when did disagreeing with a pro-white agitator such as you, constitute bullying? Get a grip.
