Stan Grant talked about hoping that all his enemies experienced the love of his people. That sounded like a veiled threat. If his people are showing their love, I would wonder what kind of hate they would show.

WTF is wrong with you? Roll Eyes

Nothing. I interpreted the message that Stan Grant had for his enemies as some kind of threat against them. You have to watch the body language. Even the most trained tv celebrity has tells about them that make them seem deceptive.

You'd have to be deranged to see his comment as a threat

No. You would have to be pretty naive not to be able to read between the lines. Even the most casual viewer would see the strange nature of Stan's message. It is a real jumbled up and peculiar way of saying something. This, which gives rise to the idea that it is a hidden threat.

Brian, did you misread my admission that I was a confessed racist?

No, I read it. I acknowledge it as an honest answer, unlike most of the other Racists who refuse to answer or lie about their Racism. Roll Eyes

You hate white people Brian = racism

Oh, dearie, dearie, me, Matty. It is pure supposition on your part and is purely reflective of your Racist mindset. Piss off, Matty and stop being a Racist Troll here. Tsk, tsk, tsk... Roll Eyes

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

No, you're deranged. So he was a little emotional during that speech. So what? he should be. It's the end of a tough few weeks for him and for him the decision to leave is life changing. The only threat was in your head.

Just to add MY "two cents worth" - I LOATHE Stan Grant - and it has NOTHING to do with his Aboriginality.

Of course it does.

And I really think you've overvalued your opinion at 2¢ LOL.

You should've given it to us for free.

buzzanddidj wrote on May 23^rd, 2023 at 10:57am:

And, Stan, could you and your make-up lady choose a skin tone - and stick to it.
So we won't be wondering if Casper the Ghost or Robert Mugabe will be joining us next...

Well, I'd say this qualifies as the most reprehensibly racist
comment we're going to see today. And this from someone
who claims that their loathing for Grant has nothing to do
with his aboriginality!

And of course, we all know that this sort of racism is only
ever voiced from behind the anonymity of a white keyboard
warrior's desk. Given the chance to say this sort of thing
face to face with an Aboriginal person—such as Grant—all
we'd hear would be an awkward silence.

Angry

I've always had a lot of respect for yourself and your posts, Geoff, but you're way off target on this call.
I've been aware of Stan Grant since his days as a tabloid hack as anchor to Real life and Today Tonight

He was a tabloid hack back then,
As he's a tabloid hack now

Should I say I think he's a good reporter - BECAUSE he's black ?

Of course, he wasn't an Aboriginal, back then

Or, at least, didn't go public with it

Stan Grant is widely believed to be based on the character Mike Moore,
from the newsroom satire, Frontlinie

* or was it the other way round ?

It will never be enough.

Perfectly correct ...... the demands will never end - anyone who thought that a few years of affirmative action and preferential schooling standards etc would 'equalise' women and make them content with genuine equality should know full well that every step stolen is just the springboard for the next one and the next and the next.... and the demands never, ever end, and nor does the perpetual crybullying of being 'victims'.....

Like dealing with children, you have to say NO and mean it at some point - not just keep giving in to their childish demands for everything for nothing as if by some right.

None of this will end well...............

If I was deranged, I would not have responded in the first place. Stan Grant is an educated man. He has been in journalism (or associated with such) for over 30 years. Mr Grant is not an idiot. He is a professional person and knows how to manipulate an audience.

As such, even for a professional journalist, he shows more tells than he really should, at this level of media publicity. Perhaps you should take more note of this video of Mr Grant's farewell address to see it for what it is. Stan is laying down the law to people who have had disagreements with him. Those in opposition to Stan's position have been given a message to not mess with him. But, he has worded the message in such a way that he cannot be legally held accountable for the implicit nature of his message.

I don't know Stan Grant. I do not know what he is facing in terms of personal abuse. But, I can tell you that the disposition of Mr Grant is such that he is obviously frustrated with something outside of his workplace. In a month's time (perhaps longer) we will get an idea of what MR Grant is going through. Else, we can continue to assume that it is none of our business.

"John", if you were playing poker against me, you would be broke at the end of the night. I do not care what kind of shades you wear to cover the pupil dilation of your eyes. You would end up having such a tell, that I bet we would all take turns relieving your of your betting chips.

Not my fault you're the guy who always hasn't got a clue about 'cultural' things because he's a closet Racist redneck.

Just so. Same with the republican movement, no? They're a bunch of terrorists.
