Boris Gold Member Offline Australian Politics Posts: 4263 Gender:	The definition of racist / Racism Jun 4^th, 2023 at 8:32am Those words get thrown around a lot - but it has different meanings to different people. Those words are used as weapons - implying anyone who is racist or has racism is subhuman. So what do these words mean?

No, I think you're racist because you cry every time aborigines win a court case or are awarded some rights. You've never cried for any other group of people.

No, I think you're racist because you cry every time aborigines win a court case or areawardedsomerights. You've never cried for any other group of people.

Do you support having different laws, expectations and standards for different racial groups?

A person with a racist mindset only has to think a certain way about different racial backgrounds to be considered a racist. But you can only be confirmed a racist if you tell or act differently with people around with different races.

I can treat people with different racial backgrounds the same way, but differ the treatment according to their attitude toward me. Or I could be condescendingly racist and still be decent towards people of differing racial backgrounds. I have not really broken any laws.

I think we can leave the "racist" accusations against people who blatantly discriminate against people on the basis of their race.

Re: The definition of racist / Racism Reply #9 - Jun 4^th, 2023 at 12:34pm The soft bigotry of low expectations, from people like John Smith and their ilk, has far more serious consequences for Aboriginal people than the types of racism he allows himself to see.

There are no different laws, no matter much you pretend otherwise

but....... but..... but..... but........ the Aborigines want their law to be the way things are done 'up there'...... and presumably here....

They've already got the soft-cocks feeding out of their hands over any claim for land and such - no thought for the inevitable future .... their idea of 'land ownership' is allowed to hold sway DESPITE the reality that Eddie Mabo's lot held permanent possession of an island that was clearly definable - squatter's rights and thus granted by government in return for a fee in that case never required - not over some vast swathe of land with no tracks or fences or anything to prove anything....

Just someone says their ancestors used it for whatever - though what you could use some of it for at all is a source of wonder - and some total dick-head in a government body signs off on it and gives it to a court to rubber stamp - all without hearing one word from the majority stakeholders in this land.

Nothing but trouble can come of this..... you cannot spit in the faces of the majority all of their lives and get away with it.....
