“uneducated, ignorant” white people ? naar, actually I reckon you are very educated and knowledgable but your life experiences by fate or by your own design have led you to believe what you believe.

is it worth trying to educate you about other ways of knowing racism?

Probably not. Its not in your interest to know or care

Another really deep and thoughtful post by Rainier. Ever tried developing an argument?

This article gives me the impression that non-indigenous australians are tagged too...

If “the Australians ” have not been divided, segregated and tagged, what would all these “cultural affairs” , “multicultural diversity”, and “community specialists” have been employed and paid for?

Redneck, God bless you,,you are my arguement! you just don't realise it...keep going, its the best belly laugh I've had for a while..

Redneck riles against “morally superior opponents who pretend to be SO concerned about racism put negative racist labels on “uneducated, ignorant” white people”.

Redneck that description was taken from the Macquarie Dictionary: thus you are placing the negative label on yourself.

Redneck says that the rednecks were right all along; thus redneck thinks lynching African-Americans was correct, that racist shock-jock radio is appropriate journalistic behaviour...
Journalism like Sattler’s as pointed out Hagan’s article.
“…. Just too soft mate, nigger nigger pull the trigger, far as I'm concerned.
(laughter all round, and a few "oohs")”

Redneck admits opposing self-determination; thus you redneck believe in imposing your ideals on others - and apparently see yourself as "morally superior".

Redneck believes that we should discard noble ideas; thus Redneck acquiesces to lesser, easy, more-base ideas.

Redneck admits that journalists are prone to following popular trends rather than reporting objectively and fairly and thus are now biased towards the negative aspects of ten associated with the right. This is evident in the cruel, racist words of Sattler and the bandwagon waffling of Courier Mail columnist, Colman.

Redneck admits that the politically correct of old were fighting against entrenched vested interests. Thus redneck is fighting for the vested interests.

Yes Redneck, I am very conservative when comes to right and wrong - your way is wrong. Political correctness came about as an indirect response to the lynchings, to the holocaust, to all those horrible historical events that started with dehumanising language - from your writing you're thinking in clichés which determine your thinking so consider that old one about “the thin edge of the wedge”. I know that lynchings, language that dehumanises folk is far inferior in the short and long term to being decent and old-school political correctness.

Sensitive issue that involve race can be discussed and examined without carrying on with offensive nonsense, such as tagging yourself with a term that can be associated with the lynchings of Southern US African Americans

Redneck - who?
