Preposterous political posturing : Comments

By Don Aitkin, published 31/7/2020

I just couldn't believe it. 'Coon' is no longer to be the name of a well-known style of cheese.

Thanks Joe, Koori I have seen used but I did not know it had a specific
geographical context.
Abo seems the most logical to cover all those here before 1788.
Afterall we white people diverted via Europe on the way to this continent
and while we were in Europe the lower light levels whitened our skin to
regulate our vitamin D uptake.
So whats the big deal ?

Dear diver dan,

Resident rent gouger? Lol. How many others on here would have a rental property? I suspect a few given we are the boomer generation. The fact that you haven't and it has you frothing at the mouth is an issue for you, not the rest of us.

As to the rest of the stuff you vomited up on the page what on earth does any of it have to do with whether or not the word Coon has been and still is a racist term in this country.

All you lot have done is either deny it is offensive to some or attempted to deflect. Why are you all so utterly un-nerved by this initiative by the owners? This is snowflake-ism 101. They have made a decision based on what they felt was the right thing to do and as a private company they have every right to do just that. Get over it.

I stand by my earlier remarks, that the term coon used in relation to blackfellas,is, was and remains a derogatory term in popular use by some very ignorant folk! I get that some think it's ok? And are offended by seeing it removed from a popular brand of cheese, which rightly was named after Dr Coon who invented the particular faster procees, that gave that particular type of chedder his unfortunate name. The derogatory name of Coon. Those renting their clothes and tearing out their hair at the removal of a derogatory term! Need to get over themselves and their abundntly obvious racism! Don't be a dropkick R'sole all your life, take a day off!

I always found the word Abo was used as an endearing term for a long time until Academics twisted it to what it is now.

Those protesting here to the removal of an offensive term are clearly no brighter than those contribiting to taffic jams in melbourne during a pandemic lockdown!

As I said earlier, we should be using our brains for higher order tasks such as, addressing the energy crisis, the poverty that forces some folk to carry on working and adding to Melbourne traffic jams, during a lockdown, for heavens sake! When they should be able to self quarintine for a couple of weeks!

We should focus on coming up with recovery solutions instead of wasting our time and Intelectual acumen on this compost!

This time next year, we'll still be buying the Doctor's cheese, which could be changed to something like cando or canuk or doctor's cheedar?

Me? I'd like to call it KKK hullabaloo or whatsaname cheese.

You all have a nice day now y'hear.

Resident rent gouger? Yep. What prompts the appropriate brand name, was your derogatory comment on the renter class, in a past post which collected an OLO community scolding. Snob fits.

Now onto the next issue as to the question of what is your "worth" governed by your property investment portfolio. (And what we are trying to achieve here, is a profile of who are the "sicko" supporters of the anarchistic BLM crowd, (and as a consequence, Gay life matters), seeking to overthrow community standards with a lie)?

That's you to a tee gouger. You identify yourself as woke to a same tee. Woke is a community only. Problem with you lot, you have little understanding on the subject of racism, and much understanding on riding roughshod over those who do understand.

Now to the real issue to address, the three criminal black bitches I mentioned above,
That's the interstate handbag snatchers rightly condemned on social media and now cying racism, and accusing all and sundry of persecution.

So the issue is, now black criminals are empowered by you woke lot, to commit more crimes and cry for sympathy that black lives matter, and as evidence appears, will be supported by a woke media in the lie.

So gouger, its you the racist snob, racist against whites and their culture. That's what I don't like about you and your lot. Your abhorrent nonesence is sickening to society, and detrimental to a large swathe of it.
