According to T.O.S. rules I may not post again for another 24 hours after this and I will obey by the rules, as I have already posted once today.

This is not about race. Drop the race issue. This is about people integrating into our societies, I don't care what color the person is. If he is white and does not conform to our culture, If he is has a darker skin color than mine and does not integrate into society, it makes no difference. Don't you people see, this is not about skin color, it's about an attitude and mindset. The race issue, is nothing more than a smoke screen to cover up the real issue. And that issue is turning Australia, America, the UK, into something different than what it is, and this is simply not acceptable. Thankyou moderators for allowing me to post in this forum.

Jeff

Danny Nalliah is so right, as a 7th decade Aussie who has seen it all change from Aussie culture to multi- culture I have seen so much change in our loved nation,some for the better when there was a minority of foreigners here.
What has happened ,is that the refugees,immigrants and others who are from many nations come here for the great social security and benefits we have ,but they want to keep thier same cultures going here as well ,even though most are draconian.(Ancient ideas) If they, and I say mainly Muslims at present(maybe other religions and beliefs later on)would live like we have for past 200 years (free)then Australia can be called their home.If you listen to the prophets we are in for more unrest in future unless there is change and the politicians knees knock at the next election ,who are guilty of ignoring all that is going on.

The young lions (Australia,Canada,USA,NZ,RSA,Singapore) all off shoots of the UK (Mother Lion) have done all they can to help those in need worldwide , and only get racist abuse for helping . Change HAS to come and not cowtowing to minorities whims.We are still a Christian nation that will not bow down to pressure from foreign groups ways.

OOOOO Dear o me:
Now this will not be published in any News papers or Radio or TV, for obvious reasons, BUT.

The detective superintendent in Charge Strike Force “Enoggera”- our Multicultural Race riot in Cronulla has just publicly released the Charge numbers on Air. You would be happy to realize that 28 charges have come about, not so good on the Multicultural side though: NONE of the Lebanese Moslems have been charged, oops sorry two flag burners have been charged, so 26 young White Australians are in the lock up and none of the others has seen a policeman. Is that Racism Irfan, The Brown Shirts you so Mention at work, or do you know something the rest of Australia does not? Or are our police just out gunned -as a police report some weeks ago suggested and that’s why NONE have been arrested? Do our P C Brigade Know the consequences if Police arrest the perpetrators?

Our Elite Leaders must be on Christmas holidays still, and this Superintendent will probably be out of a Job tomorrow: We are not supposed to know this information, and you can see why you are not meant to know.
That’s Multicultural Australia, well N S W at this point. Happy P C’ing.

Thanks Danny for your article. Immigrants that do not accept our culture as their own are being quite rude.

It is like seeking an invitation to dinner at a friend's home, and when sitting down to dinner, complain about the meal.

I will give anyone a fair go. If immigrants make an effort to learn the language and the culture, and otherwise display good manners, they will be accepted.

Those who despise our culture and our ways should be shown the door.

Good points and intentions Janet and Jeff, However I differ on a few scores about racism.

This redeemable ideology of ‘colour blindness' might be virtuous but it fails to appreciate the pervasiveness of racism
and thus denies racism as an overt and deliberate discrimination.

Racism is a structural and ideological practice in society as well as behavioural phenomena. And while it might feel good to look away from racism and pretend it isn't at play it does make it go away.

Simply arguing that that raising the question of racism is divisive is often argued here by those who want to rationalise their racism using 'cultural' justifications.

This piece of poetry always comes to mind when attempting to explain the above.

As I was going up the stair I met a man who wasn't there! He wasn't there again today, i wish, i wish he'd go away.

This dualistic interplay of solf acknowledgment and blatant denial of racism is often the logic used by posters here in discussing immigrants and assimilation and multiculturalism.

Read through some of the posts above and you'll easily identify the deniers/ head in the sand ostriches who see their man upon their stairs every time.

Lets draw out what racism actually means. It basically refers to negative discrimination towards a person of another race. It implies that white people are the main culprits, and non whites are to be protected. Our dear friend Rainier is subconsciously talking about racism from whites (in between wishing people with a different p.o.v a quick death).

How is racism displayed? Bashings, insults, humiliation and rejection. Hang on, all these things are on display from our Lebanese gangSTAs. Nahhh...go for the soft target...arrest an 18 year old waving a eureka flag and call him a white supremacist. I feel much safer now..NOT.
