Jolanda asks me: "how did you connect preferring your own – to killing others?"

I'll respond by reference to the racism which lead to the death of millions of people. They were all innocent too.

Racial discrimination is illegal in Australia. If you act on your racial beliefs you reject the laws of our nation.

Love can also lead to killing and death David.

and so can INDIFFERENCE!

What dickie? is it getting to you? Sophistry? Its yours and others benign and unsophisticated analysis of racism that urgently needs reviewing.

If you don't understand racism as a complex social and cultural phenomenon it’s not our fault.

Its your own.

Now tell me why you can’t explain to me what it means to be racially, culturally “white” again? Is it because you don't have to think about this as a factor IN all racism - at all?

Ah...... Ranier

How typically condescending of you. And the usual failure on your part to address the contents of a post.

Many of your own young people going down the gurgler which you refuse to acknowledge when you continue to vent your vitriole on the "invaders" you consider inferior, unsophisticated and lacking your degree of "intellect."

One need not be an anthropologist or a historian to correctly assess the behaviour of many groups of indigenous youth in regional Australia, as unacceptable.

Drop the baggage, Ranier, open your eyes and understand that unlawfulness has little to do with culture or the "underprivileged" but rather an inability and a failure by elders (of any race) to instill and enforce in their children, a firm conscience of what is right or wrong.

The verbal and physical assaults on one's person and property simply produces a form of racism in the victims. This is a natural human reaction in people who are repeatedly targeted by the same groups of delinquents.

Unfortunately Ranier, your silent condonation of these problems, as an elder, makes you part of the problem - not the solution!

And thats why people demonstrate and riot against racism.Its not just to steer up the media.People become fustrated and angry about things.
