So Harry L had no adversity to deal with? Um what privilege are you talking about? That he was brought up pretending he was white? Buy a gram of the concept of walking in another's shoes is all I can say to you.

Dieter first of all I note that you have ignored every question that I ask you.

Anyhow you are not making much sense to me - what on earth does "brought up pretending he was white"  mean ??

His mother was white & so was most of the rest of his family - see https://www.latinstoriesaustralia.com/blog/2018/6/23/elizabeth-deserbelles

Apart from some domestic violence issues early on (which I presume were caused by H's biological father) he seems to have had an ordinary Australian middle class upbringing.

And he earned more money from footy than I will ever see in my lifetime.

That's a pretty privileged existence far as i can see.

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
