Jeffy Garlett's Indigenous Dance

[Chris 2,892]

Cant see how anyone would not agree with this.

H is ex pies, and therefore he would get bood all game.

Duh.......

Seems some need it pointed out unfortunately. Goes hand in hand with the 'we don't boo all the other Indigenous players so there is no problem' argument that gets bandied about.

Sad indictment on our society really.

[Elusive Tunbridge 795]

Before this thread gets locked, can I just say, I didn't care less if Goodes got booed or not (I think enough is enough now though) but I really like all these tribal dance/war cry celebrations and reckon we should see more of them anyway.

Certainly better than Mark Williams' duck-hunter dance

Could be any number of things in regards to old Bitters. Age, IQ, pants size...

hairs on his head, dollars in his super fund, attention span in seconds...

[Bitter but optimistic 22,242]

Yes, you're correct actually.

So let me change it to: "I won't go trawling through them for your embarrassment".

Much better.

Where would you be without me Stu??

[Biffen 12,944]

Garlett might have to be sent back to Casey to work on his Wedge Tailed Eagle.

Perhaps our newly educated Stuie could assist in the choreography?

Here are three very compelling cases as to why this is an issue of racism

And Stu is no Mick Jagger.

[Bitter but optimistic 22,242]

Maybe he'd had enough of another thread reduced to triviality.

Well done.

Epic Whiner......

[rpfc 28,539]

Enjoyed it, and I am sure it wasn't as offensive as imaginary spears being thrown...

And how lovely that some can try for a laugh by saying he was 'doin an aeroplane.'

Hope to see more of them, but no imaginary boomerangs, crayfish traps, or nunchucks please - they give my pasty white body the vapours...

You missed the American telling us how endemic racism is here followed by..........

Waleed Aly...of course!!!

Interesting that you see that as whining. I don't quite understand.

Duh.......

Dawes is ex-Pie too? I'm not saying it's completely racist but I think there could be an underlying element to it.

I heard some boos for Dawes.

To be fair, Lumumba is a more recent defection and did leave their b&f with that "last laugh" speech.

What do you mean by 'of course'?

And why can't an American notice the endemic nature of racism in Australia?

[Biffen 12,944]

,And why can't an American notice the endemic nature of racism in Australia?

Of course , because Waleed Aly is the expert on Religion and racial persecution in Australia,having suffered so much under our racist regimes.

and the American is also a self appointed expert on our society ,having lived here ten years,coming from a place with such a perfect record in this dept.

[Adam The God 30,283]

I don't think the booing of H is entirely unrelated to the Goodes situation. People have a particular distaste for Lamumba which has quitened down this season as he has. The two share a similarity - and no, it's not the colour of their skin. It's their willingness to confront discimination and talk about it publicly which makes people uncomfortable and angry. People aren't booing the race, but them talking talking about race. Which is about race.

I'd agree that H confronts the issue of discrimination head on, which makes the racist element in society uncomfortable. But the booing of him yesterday was purely because he is a former player that left them in no uncertain fashion. They don't boo Dawes because that was years ago. If the booing had occurred towards H in any other match, I would agree it would be motivated by something else.

And Watts. Not sure why but they did.

They've always done this. Ever since his debut.

Trolls have feelings too.

Not easy living under a bridge you know.

Its the bit about avoiding sunlight that is the real problem, I hear ...

Wasn't aware that a criminologist, say, needed to have been convicted of some crime beforehand.

By any measure this thread is just so far from where it started that there's little point in leaving it open for gratuitous irrelevances like the above (or the constant re-re-rehearsals of opinions on what booing means).
