Stan Grant is a conflicted half-caste as many of the more rabid ones are. Recently he said, and I quote, "The Crown tried to exterminate my people." First of all, which people are his people. Assuming he was talking about Aboriginal ancestors, he is either ignorant of history and instructions for Governors concerning the natives, or he is deliberately using his celebrity to mislead the public in the run up to the referendum. Either way, he is an arsehole.

Apparently you've posted this comment for no other reason
than to broadcast your own offensive racist viewpoint, and
give it a prominence it doesn't deserve?

And to describe Grant as an "arsehole" requires a lot more
confirmatory evidence in order to give it any actual veracity.

What in particular—in your opinion—justifies your description
of Grant? Is it based, perhaps, solely on the fact that he's and
Aboriginal, and you despise all Aboriginals?

And if so, is that not the height of racism? Or are you proud
to be a racist?

You avoid the facts I posted which shows your bias. You people just want to shout down anyone who doesn't fit into your world.

Sounds like a conflicted half-caste to me....

Anyway - I scarcely noticed him until he started under the tanning machine and started to rub in the orange, and then somehow morphed from being just another face on TV to being some big spokesperson for all things Aboriginal..... never noticed he was until he said so - same as Ray Martin etc.

I suppose if the heat's too much in that kitchen, you can always bolt for the door. If he'd remained just another presenter, actually giving a fair summary of all sides of the questions - he'd have done all right..... but he chose the wrong side of both history and the future.

Never noticed the Aboriginality in that old sheila who did the insulting 'welcome to country, guests and never owners' stuff at the NRL last night - again - whiter than I am.... same as the majority of the 'Indigenous' players.
