The simple fact of history is that in the past five hundred years - with very few exceptions - nearly all of the rape and pillage has been an exclusive White Man Christian thing

The depths of your ignorance of global history ironically displays your Eurocentric worldview.

    6 Matches is not enough, i am of the view that if a player makes a comment like this they should be given a zero strike policy, they should be sacked on the spot. 

    AFL players carry a responsibility to be role models and how many feral Adelaide Supporters, and wider supporters (Collingwoods entire base) will now think it's okay to say things like this because Tex did 

    With that attitude its a good job you are not sitting as a judge in the NT juvenile courts.  The rate of incarceration with your attitude would be close to 100% with a large number of Indigenous people included.

    Does this mean the Mongols have to apologize for everything Genghis Khan did?

    I will be booing Tex next time he plays against us. I detest racism.

    He may be lucky to get a run in the VFL next year.  Eddie etc will be grateful that Tex has come along to be the very public face of racism in the AFL.

    Without deflecting from how awful this issue is, it also points out how much of a train wreck the Crows still are.  All the boot camps in the world can't change a culture like that.

    I don't know why every time the issue of racism comes up on Demonland pompous windbags like you & Flaubert have to come on and show your chardonnay socialist credentials by lecturing everybody with your distorted historical perspectives.

    Has life got boring now Marxism has been debunked ?

     

    It's the perfect system for perfect people and that's its fundamental limitation.

    Karl Marx is remembered but his sister Onya is not, despite the fact she invented the starting pistol.

    That’s less than 50 words. 

    Does that satisfy you?

    Back to the more serious nature of Tex Walkers's poor behaviour and the kind of culture it could foster within your team and environment  - including opponents and fans of both clubs. It's a massive leadership fail - the antithesis of creating a safe environment where people feel safe and are more likely to flourish - providing they are putting the required effort in. By way of contrast, listen to Paddy Mills talk about the culture of the Boomers in his interview after the bronze medal match; that's leadership!

    What is on the other side of that argument?

    What is the statute of limitations on the stolen generations? Death in custody? The Tuskegee experiments on the US when the govt gave blacks suffering from syphillis ‘healthcare’ in the 70s.

    When does a country’s or a people’s collective conscience wash that away and absolve themselves through the guise and excuse of time?

    20 years? 50 years? Depends. Or this just another excuse for inaction and passing of blame?

    For the record, I was just trying to lighten things up. I don't fight on the internet because doing so is like a repechage: even if you win, you are still a loser.

    rpfc, why would you rate taylor walker's apology video with a vomit emoticon?
     i struggle to understand that type of response

    i didn't detect an ounce of insincerity or defensiveness

    it doesn't change anything but was at least a step in the right direction

    You are getting closer Cranky, you are now saying it was stupid, well done, come on, you can do it, Just repeat what Walker has said himself. It was racism. Then like walker you can educate yourself and move on like Walker has began to do.

    What I’ve said was racism and it’s totally unacceptable. I’ve lost trust and respect from everyone, and I know that, and I’ve got work to do. I’m going to take some time away from the football club to let people heal.

    “I’m now going to educate myself, which is going to take some time, because I want to be better for it and I want to influence people around me, because there’s no place for racism in society.

    • GAMEDAY: Geelong

      It's Game Day, and reinforcements are finally arriving for the Demons—but will it be too little, too late? They're heading down the freeway to face a Cats side returning home to their fortress after two straight losses, desperate to reignite their own season. Can the Demons breathe new life into their campaign, or will it slip even further from their grasp?

    • PREVIEW: Geelong

      "It's officially time for some alarm bells. I'm concerned about the lack of impact from their best players." This comment about one of the teams contesting this Friday night’s game came earlier in the week from a so-called expert radio commentator by the name of Kane Cornes. He wasn’t referring to the Melbourne Football Club but rather, this week’s home side, Geelong.The Cats are purring along with 1 win and 2 defeats and a percentage of 126.2 (courtesy of a big win at GMHBA Stadium in Round 1 vs Fremantle) which is one win more than Melbourne and double the percentage so I guess that, in the case of the Demons, its not just alarm bells, but distress signals. But don’t rely on me. Listen to Cornes who said this week about Melbourne:- “They can’t run. If you can’t run at speed and get out of the contest then you’re in trouble.

    • NON-MFC: Round 04

      Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the ‘G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit.
      Sunday’s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?

    • CASEY: Gold Coast

      For a brief period of time in the early afternoon of yesterday, the Casey Demons occupied top place on the Smithy’s VFL table. This was only made possible by virtue of the fact that the team was the only one in this crazy competition to have played twice and it’s 1½ wins gave it an unassailable lead on the other 20 teams, some of who had yet to play a game.

    • REPORT: Gold Coast

      In my all-time nightmare game, the team is so ill-disciplined that it concedes its first two goals with the courtesy of not one, but two, fifty metre penalties while opening its own scoring with four behinds in a row and losing a talented youngster with good decision-making skills and a lethal left foot kick, subbed off in the first quarter with what looks like a bad knee injury.
