Why has Hanson and co, not lept on thisBelly,
Why ? So the lefties can gang up on her as per usual. I think she's said a hundred times over what needs to be said & done yet all she got was criticism from the Left.
I really can't blame her for not bothering anymore.

The statement from the left should be 'I support the criminals'. As simply as that.

Dear AC,

You write;

“Because by shutting down my speech, your shutting down the discourse.”

What a load of absolute codswallop!

I called you out as a racist for using a blatantly racist term. It was up to you to put up a legitimate argument why drawing that obvious conclusion was wrong, something you have spectacularly failed to do.

However I then went on to step through and provide responses to every one of your other questions, not a single one of those responses has been subsequently addressed by you.

Instead you sit there and bleat on about being a victim, of being intimidated, of having your 'discourse shut down' when it isn't.

Similar views on Palestinians? I would have a lot more confidence that being the case if you weren't caught up in One World Government rubbish which inevitably embraces Jewish conspiracies.

Stop being a snowflake and start discoursing.

Muslims and Africans have featured in our refugee intake but have been far less a feature of our migrant intake. The Australian refugee intake is usually about 18,000 people while migration figures are well over 10 times that.

The top three countries making up the 2 million migrants who entered this country since 2000 were India, then England then China. These are not majority Muslim or African countries by any stretch of the imagination.

For you to be highlighting Muslim and African refugees as a risk to our sovereignty rather than these other nations doesn't speak to any love of the facts, rather it speaks directly to your racism. Now we might offer up some mitigation to these views as perhaps the Murdoch media has assisted your hysteria, but your underlying racism is clear.

Now it would be quite legitimate to say there is an issue with some of those from South Sudan fully joining our Australian community, and that world events serve to maintain a tension with our arrivals from some Islamic countries. But as a country we need to work through them just like any mature nation does.

Time for a little maturity from you too perhaps.

Steele Redux,
Have you been getting lessons from Foxy ? I think you should get in touch with the Fred Hollows Foundations for your seeing problem.

//To use this word is like so many words that are used to demonize//
Words like communist, you mean? ;)

Answer1- The difference is communists in the current era probably wouldn't be denied employment unlike being labelled racist.

Comment2-
//the problem with most ideologies is they create an absolute morality- then say all those that contradict this arbitrary moral framework are evil.//
See conservatism.

Answer2- The difference between Communism and Conservatism is that Communism tries to change society but Conservatism tries to stop too much change. At least with Conservatism there given that the systems in question have worked before and people are familiar with the system suggests that they are not as arbitrary or absolute

Dear Canem Malum,
You wrote;
“The word "racist" just demonizes the target without adding value to the discussion.” and “It seems the racist label is just designed to intimidate and terrorize people into silence.”
You are being inane young fella. If you really meant a word of this you would have pulled up AC on the title for this thread and his original post.
These were his opening words;
“I support the Racist Australians position in standing up to ethnic minority criminals taking over our country over the position of multiculturalism and political correctness.”

Answer1-
When AC is using the term "racist" he is using it in a different way perhaps part self deprocating and part paraphrasing media accusations- than you who are using it in an attempt similar to the media to attack and terrorize him.

Comment2-

Why no whinging about him directly labeling someone racist? Is it because your beef is with me rather than any particular stance of your own? Which is fine but let's call it for what it is, rather than attempting to smother the obvious in mealy mouthed words and platitudes about racists being misunderstood.

Answer2-

Definition- Mealy Mouthed- http://idioms.thefreedictionary.com/mealy+mouthed
Hesitant or unwilling to state something bluntly and directly when speaking, especially facts or opinions that are considered divisive or controversial. Everyone keeps having these mealy-mouthed conversations about crime in poor areas of the city, unwilling to talk about the scumbags who are to blame.

On the contrary SteeleRedux I get the impression that AC is more than willing to discuss the concerns that you label as "racist"- correct me if you disagree- it seems that you are in fact the one that is reluctant to discuss the issues- you avoid discussion by demonizing AC with the word "Racist".
