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.

    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.

    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.

    • REPORT: St. Kilda

      Hands up if you thought, like me, at half-time in yesterday’s game at TIO Traeger Park, Alice Springs that Melbourne’s disposal around the ground and, in particular, its kicking inaccuracy in front of the goals couldn’t get any worse. Well, it did. And what’s even more damning for the Melbourne Football Club is that the game against St Kilda and its resurgence from the bottomless pit of its miserable start to the season wasn’t just lost through poor conversion for goal but rather in the 15 minutes when the entire team went into a slumber and was mugged by the out-of-form Saints. Their six goals two behinds (one goal less than the Demons managed for the whole game) weaved a path of destruction from which they were unable to recover. Ross Lyon’s astute use of pressure to contain the situation once they had asserted their grip on the game, and Melbourne’s self-destructive wastefulness, assured that outcome. The old adage about the insanity of repeatedly doing something and expecting a different result, was out there. Two years ago, the score line in Melbourne’s loss to the Giants at this same ground was 5 goals 15 behinds - a ratio of one goal per four scoring shots - was perfectly replicated with yesterday’s 7 goals 21 behinds. 
      This has been going on for a while and opens up a number of questions. I’ll put forward a few that come to mind from this performance. The obvious first question is whether the club can find a suitable coach to instruct players on proper kicking techniques or is this a skill that can no longer be developed at this stage of the development of our playing group? Another concern is the team's ability to counter an opponent's dominance during a run on as exemplified by the Saints in the first quarter. Did the Demons underestimate their opponents, considering St Kilda's goals during this period were scored by relatively unknown forwards? Furthermore, given the modest attendance of 6,721 at TIO Traeger Park and the team's poor past performances at this venue, is it prudent to prioritize financial gain over potentially sacrificing valuable premiership points by relinquishing home ground advantage, notwithstanding the cultural significance of the team's connection to the Red Centre?

      After kicking the first goal of the match the Demons were always playing catch up against the Saints in Alice Spring and could never make the most of their inside 50 entries to wrestle back the lead.
