Foxy,
Glad to see that at last you admit to writing the post but you cannot get out of it by saying you are quoting media articles, these are your remarks, in your name.

Your first sentence of the said post indicates that the events were/are done for racist reasons.

1) We do imprison brown asylum seekers.(We detain all unlawful arrivals irrespective of their ethnicity or skin colour)


2) We did once celebrate our national Australia Day with a white racial riot - remember Cronulla? (On one Australia Day a large number of persons gathered on Cronulla beach to demonstrate to muslims that they would not allow them to take over the beach by bullying, intimidation and other antisocial conduct. A few scuffles broke out but their was no riot, dispite media exaggeration)

3) There was a political organisation called - One Nation. (There was a political organisation called One Nation. There is even now various political parties. You are implying that ON was racist yet neither the party nor its leader, Pauline Hanson, was ever found to make any racist comments by a court or tribunal. I might add that ON put up candidates of various ethnicities, including indigenous. ON still exists, by the way)

To be cont

cont.

4) The "Intervention," did take place. (Yes, and for the sole purpose or preventing further sexual and other abuse to aboriginal children, The report called 'Little children are angels'. Children were suffering neglect and abuse, some as young as 3 yo were found to have STD)

5) There were attacks on Indian students. (Yes and investigations found that the attacks were carried out by ethnic gangs, with robbery as the reason. What was disgusting about this is that the victims and the state authorities allowed all and sundry, including the Indian media, to believe initially that the attacks were by anglo Aussies and for racist reasons.)

But foxy you know all this and yet you chose to spin the events to indicate racist reasons and intentions. Your intention was simply to slime Australia, our governments and citizens. What makes it worse is that you have the interlect and education to know better. To my mind that makes you unworthy of citizenship.

The remarks you made were certainly designed as racist slurs

Dear Banjo,

I went back to my post of the 18-4-2014 - because I
could not remember in what context my remarks were made.
Lo and behold it was in a discussion about vandal attacks
on a mosque and that this sort of behaviour should not
be acceptable in a multicultural society.
As we all know Muslims are your bet peeve.
And have been for quite some time on this forum.

I am surprised that you are now in this discussion hankering
back to this topic - when it was so widely covered at that
time. And anti-Muslim feelings were widely being expressed
so strongly in the community. Why bring it up now?

Also, You accuse me
of not being worthy of Australian citizenship. Do you really
believe that? Then that says more about you than it does
about me Sir.

As far as racism is concerned? There is so much on the web
dealing with this issue - from a very wide variety of sources.

All someone has to do is keep their eyes and ears open
on a daily basis. They don't have to venture far from
their front door in this country to encounter
racist attitudes or hear racist remarks and jokes.

As I stated back then - all of us have our prejudices -
against the rich, or the poor, the smart or the slow,
the gaunt or the obese, the progressive or the
conservative, and so on. It is natural to develop
prejudices.

It is however noble to rise above them.

And as for your accusation of my "slurring" this country.
Stating facts that exist - does not equate with "slurring."

Here are a few links for your information:

As I stated then - I'll repeat it now.
I wouldn't dream of trying to stop your thinking old chap.
I'm too busy being fabulous.

The Cronulla demonstration was on December 11 2005, not January 26 and it had nothing to do with "racism", some of the handful of violent protestors were Pacific Islanders, Indians and Aboriginals, it's all on film and readily available. The young people of Cronulla had simply had enough of Lebanese gang violence and because the Police and government wouldn't listen much less do anything about it they rioted and tried to show that they were not going to take it anymore.
Things are heading toward a similar boiling point in Melbourne for exactly the same reasons, it's got to the point that White kids in the Northern suburbs can't have parties and no parent wants to host them because gangs of Lebanese thugs roam the suburbs gate crashing and assaulting party goers, it's even happened at primary school age kid's gatherings, the Lebs sole objective is to "bash White dogs". And no Foxy there are no White gangs, period, they don't exist, there are gangs made up of kids from different backgrounds, Indians, Whites, Asians etc who band together for safety because they're picked on by the Lebanese, Islanders and Africans.
You don't know about these things because you probably don't have young kids and you don't live in a run down area, the Age and 3AW have just started reporting on this problem of ethnic gang violence because it's become impossible to ignore due to several Police coming forward to the media to raise the alarm.

Foxy,
The reason I again raise your post of the 18-4-2014 is to remind you, and others, that although you project yourself as a 'nice' person you are actually quite different.

That particular post of yours clearly shows you to be a person who does tell untruths and spin, twist and portray events with the sole object of disparaging Australia. our governments and citizens.

One doesn't mind fair criticism but to twist happenings is downright dishonest.

The more you can twist events and happenings to pour slime the more it suits your objective.

Dear Banjo,

I accept that is what you believe.

It happens to be untrue.

I have provided you with many websites and links
and various other sources over our time on this
forum regarding this country's history. And this
information is freely available for anyone
interested in doing their research.

You were the one who again brought up this topic
in an attempt to slur me. You told me I am not worthy
of being an Australian citizen - which is a dreadful
thing to say to someone. And totally uncalled for.
You tell me that I am not
very nice. Well Sir, take a look at yourself in the
mirror. I will match my posting record on this forum
with yours any day.

I shan't respond to you any further.
Think whatever you like - as I told runner -
You Sir are in no position to judge anyone when you yourself
lack the very basics of decency in your behaviour.

As Winston Churchill once stated -

"You will never get to the end of the journey
if you stop to shy a stone
at every dog that barks."
