Aboriginals Condemn NYT Uncle Jack Charles Obit.
Sep 24th, 2022 at 6:58am
 

Veronica Gorrie, a Gunai/Kurnai woman from Victoria and a former
QLD police officer, has condemned the New York Times over its
obituary of Uncle Jack Charles, who died peacefully at the age of
79 on 13 September after suffering a stroke.  Ms Gorrie, who knew
the celebrated actor and activist personally, described the obituary
as insensitive and culturally inappropriate.

The NYT Obituary began by reporting:

Quote:
MELBOURNE, Australia — Jack Charles, one of Australia's leading
Indigenous actors, who has been called the "grandfather of Aboriginal
theatre" but whose heroin addiction and penchant for burglary landed
him in and out of jail throughout his life, died in Melbourne. He was 79.

"Culturally, it's quite disrespectful to speak ill of our dead," Ms Gorrie said.

"So, it's really triggering for us mob, for blackfellas to see this written
about him. And to portray him for his past is quite disgusting... I do
feel for the family, who would have been definitely traumatised for what
they read. It's very upsetting."

—I can only agree that the NYT's reporting was distasteful at the least,
   but grossly offensive, racist, and totally misrepresentative of the truth
   of the man at worst.  And I have to say;  indicative of the average
   American's concept of racial equivalence as far as their own white
   supremacy divides their country.

Can you give us a link please Ron to support your claim
that Uncle Jack Charles was a paedophile?  And which
Aboriginal community are you talking about specifically?

No unfortunately I can't but it comes from a well known aboriginal elder that a friend of mine knows very well from his work in human resources. I must admit I was surprised when he told me this. I asked why it hadn't come out in the open he replied "fear of reciprocal violence". I previously thought he was just a common drug addict, thieving criminal.

The Abbos don't like the truth being told, the Australian press wouldn't get away with that, Stan the tan man, Walleed, the drum and the rest of them wouldn't even try it on.

Uncle Jackoff the thieving junkie was much revered by the Abbos.

Aboriginals Condemn NYT Uncle Jack Charles Obit.

Brought to you by Grappler Truth-Telling Inc.....

Heeeey - Ron is right!  Verbal history trumps written every time.... no source required, any more than the basis for that first episode of Australian Wars.....

Written histories are all lies and only the Noble Types Of The World - the Noble Savages - can be 100% right about everything.... so don't come around here demanding sources to support an assertion!

Verbal History Trumps!!

Ms Gorrie didn't  counsel Lividia Thorpe and the other marching ninnies about this when the Queen died.  The hypocrisy is limitless.

Charles was in and out of jail, on drugs, well into his 60s - in his own words.

The sheer, pig-ignorant racism on this forum is absolutely breath-taking.

You are despicable people.

And the disgusting and thoroughly unsupported paedo allegations have been reported. Again. Let's hope this time it sees some bans instead of just another thread deletion.

If you can't be a good example, you have to be a horrible warning.

And you, in pathetic ineptitude, spew more unrelated thought farts about Aboriginal people in whatever thread, irrespective of the relevance because to you diminished, febrile mind any Aboriginal person being mentioned deserves an opening of your floodgates.

Yes, yes ... you've pretended to understand a documentary you watched a bit of. And you're ropable. So for sure, mention it again. Go on.

I will note that being black and not quiet will get you in jail and that drug use is not a crime, it's self medication for trauma'
