Aye - let the Kaffirs have some of their own back for a change....

I sense a change in the wind over 'race relations' in this nation.....

How prophetic it was when I said that Tony Abbott's government would be a watershed in many ways..... the people are more and more rejecting the idiocy that passes for discussion and discourse over issues.... and the subjugation of the majority of Australians to the violent threats to burn the place down or chop some heads or kick up a stink in some way or many, unless they are handed their demands.

Jesus Christ - Hitler would throw a tantrum and the world would raise its arse and drop its dacks..... and now we, as a nation, do it every time some d1ckhead with a violent rhetoric and selfish agenda comes along and offers us an ultimatum.

Since when did we start negotiating with terrorists and their demands? Huh

Why is the Nazi swastika offensive? Is it because it is black?

Something to do with a few million dead Jews I expect. Thanks for your valuable contribution Aussie.

No worries Effendi. Here is some more valuable contribution.

Maybe the gollywog is now offensive because it has become symbolic of all matters nasty coming out of making slaves out of Africans. I wonder how many of them died in slavery? Do you know, Effendi?

How can it be symbolic is no-one is aware of the symbolism?

Never owned one.
No relations or friends of mine ever owned one.
Just how popular they were or are is debateable.

Don't care either way don't associate them with real people...

I had Noddy - my brother had gollywog. Neither of us wanted bigears. Tony never recovered.
