[quote]You'd hate my unnatural black ass then. My Pop's family is from Norway, my Mom is Jamiacan, I'm American and I'm married to a white woman from England. I must be the winning combo for your bigot bingo.

Go you good thaing! Dunno what Herbert will make of that given he is a bloke who cannot comprehend the sheer banality of a red bloke marrying a purple sheila, or to be more accurate, a blue sheila with a yellow bloke as her trophy.

Cheesy

So if he found out that I've bedded more white woman than he has it'd be recieved poorly?

Well why would it? By your evidence you are almost certainly more white than black, bearing in mind that there's a lot of white in most Jamaicans. Sure there's a lot of black Norwegians these days, though not in your pops generation. [€/quote]

My point was about Herby's bullshit about mixed-race people. I'm not just visably African-American, mixed-race, and my white wife means I'm set to start the Mocha Master Race. As I have made clear, I have a thing for ladies of the Caucasian persuasion, so imagine how hilarious I found this thread by some white guy whining about us darkies stealin' all da white wimmins. This quality of racist assholery is hard to find in the US now, so it's refreshing to see people that unashamedly bigoted.

My point in saying that Chard, was to have people think about how it is that people who might well genetically be 90% AngloSaxon, but have some extra melination in their skin, invariably identify with 'people of colour'.

In some societies, sure. In mine if you look like a duck, quack like a duck, and tend to hang around other ducks we think "must be a duck" and not "it's part goose". Skin tone plays a fairly important part in how we perceive others, how we develop relationships with others, and what social groups we interact with.

Quote:

I'll go further, I was often the only white at Jamaican parties. I picked up a few looks, but once the people that knew me 'had a word' I was never once made unwelcome. But when I brought along Jamaican friends to white parties, it just didn't work the same. Not that all the white friends I had were racists, but there were some.

Yeah, now imagine that instead of bringing a black person to a party full of whites that you're the black person and instead of a party it's your day-to-day experience. I was lucky in that I grew up in some of the more ethnically integrated parts of the US. Still didn't stop me from getting called a nigg*r by racist assholes, it just meant it happened less frequently than if I'd lived in more ethnically isolated areas.

Quote:

Believe it or not I'd think, 'wow, hot chick'. Skin melination doesn't mean more to me than tall/short fat/thin.

That's because you're not a racist asshole. Pussy is pussy and skin tone doesn't really mean any thing more than paint color does on a car.

Yeah I understand the mechanics of racism pretty well. It was something I didn't understand at all, so I made something of a study of it.

Here's an odd thing for you to consider. As a black American in Australia mostly you'd be treated well, respectfully and regarded as being coool. You'd get the fast track if you chose a career in the entertainment industry and you'd generally be able to eat out on it. Most Australians would be happy for you to shag their daughter, as long as she was old enough.

But if you were a black Australian you'd get the averted eye, at best. It's rare for Australians to have an aboriginal friend. If they go shopping the eye is not averted at all, they are watched by hawks. If they take their kids to the Dr. they'll be told to 'use more soap'; even when they've caught measles from the white kids next door. The last meaningful lobby group for and by aboriginal Australia was the 'Council for Aboriginal Reconcilitation' which became inactive as there was only a limited political commitment to reconciliation from the government of John Howard. The last chairperson, (Pat Dodson, a man with the eloguence that can only come from a struggle to be heard), said on resigning, (1997) "I fear for the spirit of this country".

There is no real dialogue between the Aboriginal people and the government. There is at best a constant patronising attitude that does nothing but demoralise.

And there's money. Government claims to spend a lot of money on Aborigines, which they never see. But it serves those RW interests who blame the victims. Those people who expect a dysfunctional and 'other' culture to become Europeans overnight while still being actively oppressed from the cradle to the grave. Those people who blame Aboriginal drinking and see it as a cause not a symptom. Those people who never listen.

So you see Chard it's not REALLY about skin. It's about shameful histories.

Correct. However, two notable items here. More than one black American navy personnel have been charged with underage statutory rape here in Australia in recent years.

Secondly, a surprising number of Negroes have been brought to court for negligently and knowingly spreading AIDs amongst white girls.

Highly debatable.

Grey wrote on May 15^th, 2013 at 1:42pm:

But if you were a black Australian

This broad-brush generic term needs to be defined.

There's a vast difference in white people's perception of American Negroes, Somali Negroes, subcontinental and Fijian Indians, and our own aborigines.

Grey wrote on May 15^th, 2013 at 1:42pm:

This is learned behaviour that seeks to avoid 'trouble' or 'inconvenience' from generational white experience of aborigines either begging from or abusing 'Whitey'.

Grey wrote on May 15^th, 2013 at 1:42pm:

73% of urban aborigines are the product of mixed-marriages, or are in mixed-marriages themselves.

Oh, SURELY not!! Who would have thought it? Grin

The truth is, Mr Chard ~ CCTV watches everyone like a hawk ~~ even Mr Grey here.

Wow! That's a bit of a stretch ~ even for you, Mr Grey. Tongue

Well, here's what Mr Grey won't tell you, Mr Chard ~ (... and please! Stop bouncing that ball while I'm talking to you. Thank you.)

The Australian government offered country aborigines huge discounts on petrol for their cars if they would wash their children properly, and make sure they didn't wag school.

And government nurses were sent out to teach basic hygiene to aboriginal mothers. Basic.

The reality?

It was an expensive taxpayer-funded White Elephant that was doing no one any good, and was only 'goodwill' from the government side. The aborigines simply couldn't answer the question of how 'reconciliation' should be conducted by the government.

The government was already up to its eyeballs in funding various aboriginal initiatives ~ rehabilitation and training programs, besides funding a work-free lifestyle with no reciprocal obligation for them to look for work.

The Howard government asked the leaders what the hell did they want more than they were already getting... a question they couldn't answer except to say they wanted more money from this Cargo Cult.

The last thing Howard did before leaving office was to rip the sign off the department wall which said 'Multicultural'. He was utterly sick of naval-gazing ethnic self-interest groups bludging on the Australian mainstream for more grants and more financial favours.

Jesus Christ. You Socialist One Worlders fcuked up England royalty and then jumped ship like deserting rats to come here to do the same thing.

Mr Chard ~ why don't you ask Mr Grey to visit you in Alabama? I'll pay you a monthly remittance if you'll then kidnap him and hide him in your basement for at least 10 years. I'll leave it to you to give him a routine raping as an Optional Extra if you so wish.

Grey wrote on May 15^th, 2013 at 1:42pm:

Correct. Most of it is siphoned off by the gang that runs the Aboriginal Reconciliation Council. And the money that DOES manage to filter down to the bottom-feeders is swapped for beer so quickly that they'll swear they never had any money in the first place.

Grey wrote on May 15^th, 2013 at 1:42pm:

What else were urban, inner-city dwelling Australians of aboriginal descent suppose to become if not part of the working mainstream?

Everything you posted there ^^ Herbert just goes to confirm your bigotry, but this:

Once again, one of Kat's forum pests arrives like a blow-fly to contribute nothing of any value or substance, but just to call attention upon himself.

It was when the administrator of the old D&R stopped banning the pests, that the forum board went into a steep and rapid decline that ensured there would be no new members joining.

I quit forum boards precisely because people like you, Aussie, go flitting around shïtting in every corner like a dog leaving his scent.

Wow! That's a bit of a stretch ~ even for you, Mr Grey.

I gave an aboriginal mum a lift to the doctors one day with her two sick kids. We stopped to do a bit of shopping on the way and I was roundly told off for giving the kids an icecream. They were told off for accepting it, "you know what he'll say".

I waited outside and she came out in tears. I asked what happened and she said, "he told me to use more soap". The same Doctor had seen the white kids next door to her with the same spots earlier in the week.

I used to play basketball with her brother who more or less lived with her. So I was there when a few weeks earlier the local child care centre came around to ask her if she'd work for them as her kids were so well looked after and they needed an aboriginal presence. I could tell similar anecdotes of institutionalised racism all day.

I'll say this, there's two sides to the story. But it's rare for a two sided dialogue to occur publicly. Fact is many black Australians DO overcome the oppressive prejudice, but those people are amazing. Overtime the % increases as the role models are observed by the youth. But it'll take time, probably it took the AngloSaxons a deal of time to become equalised with the Romans. And all too often the pioneer role models like Pat Dodson, a truly remarkable man and Pat O'Shane, an equally remarkable woman, get swatted back down again. Magistrate Pat O'Shane has shown leniency towards aboriginal kids who've come before her? Well CHRISTT, whodda thunk it. Roll Eyes

Terrific, Herbert. How about you deal with the content, not the ad hom, wot, Old Boy. While I have your attention:

You sure you want us to believe that (a) you were a Senior London Copper, after you emigrated to Australia at age 19 and and that (b) you assaulted black people while they were in Police custody.

So, then why aren't you posting at D&R any more, Herbie?

Someone said we could not judge a person's Aboriginality on their skin colour. Why isn't that applied in the matter of Pascoe? Tsk, tsk, tsk... Roll Eyes

Dear o dear, and Christ wept. Didn't you tell her the doctor meant DERMISIL soap? MEDICATED soap? for small pox etc etc. At one time we ALL need this kind of soap for skin infections.

No comprende. You'll have to explain this.

Grey wrote on May 15^th, 2013 at 3:40pm:

I'm trying to educate you out of using this meaningless term of 'Black Australians'. There's NO such entity. The different ethnic blacks have their distinctive and separate cultural identities. Chalk and cheese.

Our Sydney hospitals are stiff with black Indian doctors, while on the other hand our jails are stiff with black indigenous Australians and Pacific Islanders.

Grey wrote on May 15^th, 2013 at 3:40pm:

Food for thought.

He's one of the sensible ones who long ago realised that playing the generational role of Victim of White Oppression was ultimately a No-Win strategy for aborigines making the best of living in a First World country.

Grey wrote on May 15^th, 2013 at 3:40pm:

and Pat O'Shane,

This racist bitch has been pure poison to the reputation of the indigenous Australian.

You've just made me shudder with horror. Racism in the law courts is a big NO NO. Justice is supposed to be meted out fairly and equally with no regard for colour, religion, or political affiliation.

You've just blown your moral credentials right out of the water.

You've probably even upset Mr Chard with your candid declaration of support for racial bias in the courts. It wouldn't surprise me if you've caused him to throw his crack pipe at the screen. Cool

You owe him an apology.

And a new crack pipe.

Send him a didgeridoo. That'll do the job. Big crack pipe.

Nice theory....but do you reckon the Doctor bothered to tell her what he meant?

Another step too far unless you can explain, without reference to your bigotted sterotype, why Chard would need one.

Anyone with any substance soon disappears because of constantly being dogged by vacuous hecklers who have nothing to contribute but inane one-liners, juvenile insults and abuse, and swarming upon good posts to take a shït.

So I go to the trouble of telling the whole story because of a belief I have that the truth has a ring to it. And you conveniently forget the measles bit. Or do you think that medicated soap cures measles? There's no cure for measles, the rash isn't itchy and it's a symptom of the viral disease not a seperate bacterial infection. Measles is a notifiable disease blood tests and swabs should've been taken.

Read my lips: No doctor would jeopardise his entire career by telling an aboriginal mother to use more soap on her children if this comment was not medically defensible.

No way Jose.

Not a chance.

There are any number of government agencies whose job it is to monitor and respond to overt racism.

And - bottom line - had I been in your place I would have marched into that doctor's surgery and demanded an explanation.

Why didn't you do so?
