Boy crackup, you really do have to much time on your hands.

Perhaps you should be more focussed on cleaning up your own people's acts before worrying about some guy with a slogan on a shirt.

Things like, public drunken behavour, petrol sniffing, drugs and the unwillingness to contribute to society by many indiginous people.

How about we help you hang this guy, providing you tidy up your back yard as well hey!

People in glass houses really shouldn't throw stones mate!

Crackup wants us to name and shame a guy with white power on his shirt.
I can just see the mobs attacking his house and maybe hurting innocent family members or bystanders in the process.

Why stop at this guy though? We should be naming and shaming all people who write or yell racist comments at others as well.

Then we would really have a war on our own shores.
A silly proposal altogether.

I think I get what Crackcup is saying and I also think I agree with it.

The idea that the person would be persecuted is a bit of a cop out. If the law, supposedly representing the wider society, strongly condemns racism, then there would be no point in persecution.

For example, a few years ago some film of police officers mocking deaths in custody at a dress up party were publicized all over the place along with the stiff punishment that was handed out. I don't recall hearing or reading about any vigilante action against them or their families.

Either a crime has been committed or it hasn't. Why should someone inciting racial hatred be given special priveleges over other offenders?

Anyway, the offender wasn't so worried about repercussions against himself or his family that he declined the opportunity to turn a quick dollar.

The 'white power' emblem is clearly meant to shout 'white superiority' and we know this because it's in the context of a long history of abuse and exploitation of other people. Not that all anglo people indulged in that of course; but the large majority remained oblivious or indifferent to it; not doing anything much to discourage it. I think we do need to raise strong objections.

Btw I'd be interested to know how many he sold.

Btw - I wonder if it would be a crime to put - White Inferiority! or White Weakness! on a T-shirt ? - or how that would be received by the public... Just turning it over in my mind ...

It would not bother me at all. After all, the proof of the pudding is in the eating!

Sticks and stones!

On the other point, a crime in this country is not a crime until one is convicted. GET IT!

Now if the vigilantes of this country could get that through their thick skulls, we may well have seen some very different outcomes in recent trials of a certain member of the public that has been unable to get a fair trial.

Trial by media is another huge problem in this country.

Cases like Ferguson, Patel, that foreign doctor are all examples of why many people cannot get a fair trial in this country. The media has whipped the public into a frenzy, well, the vigilantes that is and bingo, our judicial system has just been weakened, all thanks to the media hype and all in the name of gaining 'TV ratings'.

But hey, even if these people, who are innocent by the way, until proven guilty, were to get a 'fair trial', that lot would have not been satisfied with the outcome anyway, so in essence, what is the point of having a judicial system anyway.

Take the case of DF.

He has been tried, exonerated; yet he cannot live life in peace all because the media use him as a 'marketing tool' for their ratings. It sucks!

And you're worried about some guy selling tee shirts with an offensive slogon on them.

Wow, you really do have to much time on your hands!

rehctub: Of course I get the innocent until proven guilty aspect.

Haha you and "too much time on your hands" - yet it isn't taking me any longer to post than you take to express your opinion. Have you got too much time on your hands as well?

DF was exonerated of something? What was that? Please give some details.

rehctub:

I rest my case!.... As the majority of responses to this Thread have shown, "Racism" is alive and well in this country, and the sad part is that it is aimed at the "real" Australians, the Aborigines who our own ancestors invaded and categorized as some form of primitive life form!
