C J Morgan, "thoughtlessly used a racist term of abuse because it has been normal to do so within the culture of rugby league."

It was Andrew Johns betraying his origins and it says nothing about football or Australian culture.

It is the mentality of some sections of the community that disrespects and taints all it touches. It is not racism as much as their outlook on life and that generalises. Talk with police, ambos and property owners, they will paint the picture in thirty seconds flat.

It is fortunate that some of the boys and girls get involved in sport because it gives them some pride and something else to do other than make a nuisance of themselves.

The Andrew Johns' lapse is the exception to the rule and shows just how much good sports coaches and managers have done to drag some kids up from the gutter.

Why Tahu didn't tell Johns to get stuffed in front of the other players or talk to him to one side or previously - they have known each other for years - is anyone's guess. That together with the walk-out and slow return could indicate things are a mite more complicated.

Belly,

You mean, ignorant ferals?

Boazy: << I think Whistler and CJ have recently signed up for Ignatiev's white hatred site "Race Traitor" >>

I can't speak for whistler, but in my case you're absolutely wrong - as usual.

<< I look forward to further unpacking and exposing the vile and loathesome anti white racism of the Greens and of CJ himself.(by his own confession) >>

That's just a lie, but again, nothing new. When have I "confessed" to "anti white racism"? How do the Greens subscribe to "anti white racism"?

I think you should retract those porkies, or provide some evidence. Once again, I won't hold my breath. I expect you'll just ignore my points, as you did when I provided evidence of you and your mate in hate vilifying Muslims.

I believe that Andrew Johns directed the derogatory remark at Queensland centre Greg Inglis.

However Greg Inglis will be on the field at the Cauldron with the rest of the Maroons at 8.00pm sharp, June 16th. He is very fit too and will take some stopping.

Meanwhile, will Joel Monaghan (Raiders) replace Tahu? Joel has had to endure redhead jokes all of his life, including the awful 'Ranga' jibe. It is not discrimination 'they' say even though gingers are a minority group and are said to be dying out.

Going by the news it seems Johns has ongoing issues with people from various races. Tahu said it himself, so it wasn't a media "thing".

Tahu is a REAL role model.

The problem is racial inequality not racism, StG. There is a substantial difference, particularly with respect to the law. Racism is the product of the assertion of inherent inferiority, racial inequality the product of the inequitable treatment of race through social inopportunity, what has come to be known as racial vilification. Racial inequality may have an historical basis in racism but is not racism as such when inherent inferiority is no longer the basis of inequality. Both racism and racial inequality are the product of patriarchy, of a male disposition to hierarchy enacted without restraint in governance, racism the outcome of more extreme forms of patriarchy. Racism and racial inequality, as well as class, caste and inherent prerogative, are extinguished when patriarchy is replaced with equal rights governance between women and men since hierarchy is sidelined from preemptive social importance.

ALGOREisRICH, the Constitution trumps the Racial Discrimination Act 1975. A Constitution based on male privilege, as is Australia's Constitution, governs a nation in which men and their inherent hierarchies prevail while legislation enacted with feel good statements of equality, as with the Racial Discrimination Act 1975, are unenforceable as evidenced by the disadvantage women have endured in pay and power over the past three decades since the enactment of sex discrimination legislation
