I know a eight-year old boy who includes among his closest friends other little boys of different races.

I tried to explain that calling someone "blackie" wasn't nice (incidentally an name they came up with on their own). He was truly puzzled, couldn't understand this - that being black was a problem. "What's wrong with being black".

He sees no distinctions between any of his friends and apparently answers to names based on physical traits of himself. I suspect a little-boy phenomenon.

Are we in danger of setting a seed of racism, where none existed before.

The government spend on the victim industry is billions of taxpayers' dollars annually. Government itself has no money, it all comes from taxes and extra taxes are being introduced daily.

The federal government has admitted on previous occasions that it is impossible to tot up how much $$ goes directly and indirectly into multiculturalism, let alone the entire victim industry.

It should be very obvious that the spruikers for the victim industry would not only want the gravy train to continue, but they would be fighting to extend it. One obvious way of doing that is to extend the definitions used. The dictionary of racist terms, like the dictionary of 'sexist' language grows by leaps and bounds.

There are exciting new possibilities (sic) created by clever professionals with a stake in the industry, for example that there could be 'unconscious' racism. If it comes to judging thoughts and reading minds, the possible areas for complaint are boundless. More $millions must be extracted from the bucket of taxpayers' dollars to pay for it.

Somewhere along the line it has to dawn on the public that they are being taken for a ride by some very cunning and persistent individuals, organisations and outfits. Some of the organisations making hay while the sun shines are government agencies, which should be noticeable from the blow-out in the number and levels of senior managers in the recent decade or two.

Although the federal government has no money for hospitals, graduating nurses can't even get part-time work and ambulances are ramped outside Emergency departments, the feds always have extra money for 'initiatives' proposed by the victim industry and that is always despite the millions wasted before.

Many schools accommodate different races. Children choose their friends, often best friends, irrespective of ethnicity, My grandchildren are inseparable from their best friends, best friends who are not white.

We are witnessing a new generation growing up. A new generation of whom many are innocent of racism. They are aware that others are of a different race, but it is of no matter whatsoever.

We have to be sensitive and not inadvertently sow seeds of racism where non exist. To start drawing attention to the fact - indeed making any sort of "issue" (no matter benign) - that another child is of a different race - can be self-defeating in combating racism.

I hope all you Muslim Terrorist loving Traitors were watching "Sunday Night" on Channel 7 to-night. This is what these "Sheet heads" have lined up for Australia. And, "YOU" support them. Am I being Racist. Not a bit. They is what they is. It's time to gather them all together & ship 'em out on the same leaky boat they came in on.

Hi Jayb,

So, next time, those terrorists will fly here, with all their papers in order.

What's your evidence that the illegal boat-people are terrorists, or vice versa ? Aren't most of the illegal arrivals actually trying to get the hell away from Islamism ? i.e. the Hazaras, Iraqis, Iranians, Sudanese ?

Jut wondering,

Joe

Ship 'em back home. Muslims are not wanted here.

What's your evidence that the illegal boat-people are terrorists, or vice versa ?

They are only legal in coming "Directly" from harm. They are not legal when they go Country shopping. UNCHR rules, not mine. They are not wanted here. Send 'em home.

Aren't most of the illegal arrivals actually trying to get the hell away from Islamism ? i.e. the Hazaras, Iraqis, Iranians, Sudanese ?

Then why are they bringing it with them. Muslims are not wanted here. Send them home.

The more Muslims we have Australia the more chance we will have the trouble they have in the UK & Europe. Ask Mr. Choudry his words, not mine. Send 'em home we don't want their kind in Australia.
