Why this 'angry white male' took a complaint to the Human Rights Commission : Comments

By David Leyonhjelm, published 20/9/2016

Furthermore, to the extent that racist attitudes are present in society, it assumes these will change if it is unlawful to express them.

I agree with every observation of Kenny pertaining to you Sir, minus the color coded description.

If you were to say, go home and take to your hide with boot polish? The only thing you would have changed is its color! Not the boorish, parsimonious, hair splitting nit picker inside it?

I say that while essentially agreeing with your take on firearms, likely the only thing you I and Pauline, would have in common?

You have a very nice day now and try not to get too upset by the "white" visage returning your inquisitorial gaze from your mirror?

Opps sorry, I included the word white in describing you! A thousand apologies Sir, I was only referring to your actual skin color not your perceived character!

Which given your entirely self centred, I'm allright Jack, take on welfare and social justice, is I believe, only black on the inside?

To David David Leyonhjelm.

I was once a young trendy lefty, but I grew out of it. The first leftist contradiction that got me questioning the leftist holy writ, was the fact that so many so called "anti racists" were quite obviously racist towards white people. Far from white, democratic secular society being a model for every successful modern society which in some way emulated it, to leftists, the white race was responsible for everything that ever went wrong with the world. Any unacceptable and dysfunctional behaviour by any minority group anywhere, could be blamed on white people, with a little judicious pushing and shoving of the facts.

One of my favourite hobbies is pointing out to every so called "anti racist" on OLO (and a bunch of other debate sites) is that what they have just said about white people is racist. It absolutely floors them. They have become so used to the idea of making racist statements about white people, that they think it is completely normal. Only a few days ago on OLO, Thomas O'Reilly said this.

"Australia is a sovereign democratic based nation and we do not need thousands of corrupt, untrustworthy, psychopathic, narcissistic and out of touch fundamentalist bigoted white men and women Christian zealots, mainly from dysfunctional families, telling us how to run our country."

Then he complained that what he said was not racist. You be the judge.

Here is a perfect example of leftist doublethink. They are so used to simply chanting leftist slogans that they have obviously never turned on their critical analysis circuits and examined their own ideology.

Now, if non whites can take white people to court under S18C, and prosecute them for making racist statements about non whites, whites can do the same thing to people who make racist statements about whites. To argue otherwise is racist. It is obvious from the reactions of the ABC minions toward you, that this idea of racial equality is anathema to them. In their Alice in Socialist Wonderland worldview, whites are always wrong, and non white minorities are always right.

It seems to depend on the slope of the level playing field. In general whites in Oz have the high ground and it's hard to be offended by the name "whitey". An Aboriginal Land Council with skin-toning melanin of the coffee Bondi-suntan tint could receive a complaint from a latte fawn-olive hued constituent - "we don't need fundamentalist black men telling us how to run our Land Council".
The power clout of the macho bronzed heavy-charcoal stud would negate
the insult , would it not. Differently from a whitey saying it.

Good on you David. One of the very few politicians who takes free speech seriously. And the only one who is consistent in his approach to all matters of legislation rather than simply voting whatever way he thinks will be most popular today. Keep it up,

I was impressed by Mr Leyonjhelm's ability to articuate his views. Alan and Mr Ryan have a right to hold opposing views, but will have to try harder to convince the rest of us. Given that racist has become such an emotive insult, people who use it should be prepared to clearly explain why they chose to do so.
