What was Cronulla? Was it a racially incited program against a minority? Was it a reaction to anti social behaviour from youths from another culture? Was it a statement of intolerance from the local youth to a changing cultural demographic, incited by right wing yobbos?

I have just viewed a documentary that paints all Australians as rabid racists. The doco suggested that the riots were a response to the 911 attacks, albeit 4 years after the fact. It had a number of Muslim parents telling of a long term association with the beach without any racist or negative actions from the wider community, so they were shocked when the riots took place. It had a young muslim woman asking “what did we do to cause Australians to hate us.”

As I watched Muslim community leaders and social workers claiming the victim status, one young Muslim guy cut to the chase. He said “of course there were gangs of Muslim youths causing trouble in Cronulla, that’s where we hung out, but there are bad elements in every community.” If you take out the gutless pack mentality that drove the white youth on that day, I believe the reaction was retaliation based for events that preceded it. Young males in numbers look for testosterone and numerically based frictions to assert themselves. I am old enough to vividly remember the pitch battles fought on our beaches between the surfies and the rockers in the 1960’s, who were genetically homogeneous.

Cronulla was disgusting, cowardly and wrong........but the participants were exclusively teens with a few older right wing yobbos inciting the simpletons. I do not accept that Australia is a racist society. Like all confrontations Cronulla was a reaction to actions, not a reaction to colour creed or ancestry.

It's an event with no wider significance than the public order incidents which occurred across the weekend, soccer fans in Melbourne and Sydney carry out similarly raucous demonstrations in similar numbers on a fairly regular basis, brawl in the street and require massive police resources to control and they don't even make the news.

"I have just viewed a documentary that paints all Australians as rabid racists"

Of course you have. 'They' teach it in schools, don't they? Australia is one of the Western democracies where leftist 'Progressive' politics decree that many millions of taxpayers' dollars annually go to interest groups who swing from the taxpayers' teats while sledging Australians and Australia both at home and abroad. Here is the result of it,

http://tinyurl.com/je3gpwo
<Is this what the world thinks of us?

Backpacker rejected by Scottish landlord because 'Australia is famous for its drunks and racists'

Laura Gratton, 24, applied to rent £400-a-month flat in Edinburgh online
But the landlord told her she couldn't live there because she is Australian

He said in a message that most Australians are 'drunks and racists'

She defended her countrymen but the man insisted that Australia is 'the most racist nation' in the world>

To maintain and increase that taxpayer funding for multiculturalism and 'human rights' of course there will be problems found and invented to maintain the necessary narrative. Heavens, no way there could be any recognition and accounting of the concessions and support, in hard times too especially after WW2, that the Australian public has given to immigration.

What about the new stretch records set annually for decades for increased migrant intakes? -An extra 200,000, equivalent to a new large city annually that the host population was and is being continually 'stretch' taxed to provide infrastructure for and health and welfare for that matter?

How many other countries would go along with the 'diversity-Australia-has-to-have' and constant criticism of Australia's inherited traditions and of 'whites'? The Australian taxpayer puts $1.3billion dollars annually into a broadcasting 'service' that spends hours daily roasting Australia and its population and has done that for years. What other broadcaster would give oxygen for decades to the same well-heeled, educated, middle class, faux Left BS artists negging Australia?

So of course Oz is 'racist' and xenophobic (along with other nasty conditions, solely genetically inherited by 'whites' apparently).

Regarding Cronulla, if it is being said that there was a 'history', one also has to look at why police did not intervene, successfully, earlier. There are some who say that Australia is so politically correct that police are constantly hampered in their law enforcement and multiculturally sensitive judges give slaps on the wrist.

Australian law should be enforced without fear or favour. Equality and fairness demand that as a minimum. How come then that the incidence of STIs in young indigenous girls is so high?

What about a new deal: where everyone is expected to accept and comply with ALL Australian law, not group into enclaves demanding special treatment, and pitch in to continue the solid work done by Australia's pioneering settlers to make, not break, Australia?

Cronulla was another case of mis information largely by the leftist media. As Paul Sheehan rightly points out it was a result of hundreds of white girl rapes by Lebanese, constant abuse on beaches and attacks on Lifeguards by muslims. The following day after the riots the Muslims themselves rioted in the Eastern parts of Sydney targeting whites with rocks, knives etc. Its a pity they did not clean up their supporters (socialist left) who seem to share their lack of values. How gullible are the Austalian public to believe such propaganda as put out by abc and other truth deniers.

The day at Cronulla was nothing more that the locals taking back their beach from gangs of Lebs that were trying to dominate the situation. The beach going girls were being harassed by the Lebs who gang bashed anyone who interviened. The bashing of two young lifesavours who came to the aid of a group of girls saw the need for action that had been ignored by police and council for years.

A more recent event occurred in Sydney and Melbourne when there were allegations of Indian students being bashed late at night for 'racist' reasons. The students and the police knew who the perpetrators were but allowed the blame to be put on anglo aussies. The press had a field day, especially the Indian press and it was not until much later that the perpetrators were revealed to be Lebs in Sydney and Africans in Melbourne. Apparently the Indian students were easy targets for robbery. Disgusting that our authorities allowed anglo aussies to wear the blame.

Jay of Melbourne, you seem to have local knowledge. Can you tell me the situation in Melbourne with African gangs. I hear rumours from time to time but there is nothing in mainstream media. Can any one do the same for Sydney. I also would like information in relation to the Sri Lanken ethnic fights and acid attacks. Are they still happening or have they gotten over it.
