White Aboriginals doing traditional welcome

[saintspremiers]

If we have to have this stupid traditional welcome thing on indigenous round, can we at least get someone black to do it?

Why not a past player?

I don't care if they are not descendants from Melbourne, just want them to be more full blooded Aboriginal - more authentic.

[Cairnsman]

This should be good.

Are you seriously coming into a public forum with this comment?

I suggest the mods seriously look at a post like this. I find it offensive and suggest that after 10k of posts your time is up on this forum.

I'd be interested in GO's perspective as well as Stinger's.

Ok sorry fair call.

I'll cook up a big batch in case others want some.

I hope you don't mind that it's white.

Perhaps all the players could put on blackface for this special round?

Oh dear.......

And do a rousing version of the highly "politically incorrect" Charlie Drake's 'My boomerang won't come back!' For those not familiar with this song, do a google search and be prepared to cringe when you hear it.

[terry smith rules]

ok

one of the things I find offensive is your 1937 attitude towards indigenous people

in other words would you like to see our indigenous players prove their background before they are allowed to say who they are.

your comments are back to a time when we were divided by our birth certificates, you should really read about south africa when the country was divided into black, white and coloured (can you even comprehend how abhorrent that is)

implied in your comment is if an indigenous player had a "white"grandfather they cannot claim to be indigenous

now take your little narrow minded attitude and get out

This can't be a serious post can it?
Can I ask you why you say that the traditional welcome is "stupid"?
I for one think it is only right to acknowledge a race of people who had no say in a bunch of convicts being let loose amongst their people, leading to the destruction of their way of life. Don't forget, it was the white man who introduced drugs and alcohol into their lives and now we mock and blame them for not being able to handle it.
Not to mention the atrocities that occured to the stolen generation - a group of people the majority of whom were born to a mother who had been raped by a white man.
Don't ever forget - you are the descendant of a boat person and they are the original inhabitants of this land.

Why is this on a Saints forum.

Take your views elsewhere.

Wow, just what we need here, more racist comments. I thought this was a Saints footy forum?

[Dr Spaceman]

To quote the Bloodhound Gang:

"I'm not black like Barry White no I am white like Frank Black is..."

[Sainterman]

This is a small minded, uneducated and foolish post, quite a disgrace really. Shows a lack of understanding and is embarassing to have on this forum.

Mods...remove and ban please!!

[Spinner]

Exactly, seriously question the motives and intelligent of saintspremiers to even comptemplate this post.

Even it it was delivered with a bit more grace, don't think this place is a vehicle for serious, thoughtful and balanced discussion.

Wouldn't mind some Tim Tams

i was about to ask where u get the popcorn guy.

Is this a serious post ???? So now not only is the highly debatable "stolen generation" a fact, they were now all born as a result of rape by white men. Did the white men eat babies as well, just for laughs?

Don't ever forget - you are the descendant of a boat person and they are the original inhabitants of this land.

We all came from somewhere else originally as Africa is scientifically regarded as the cradle of humanity, it's just a matter of how long ago we all arrived.
But is's good to you instigating a system of rank in this country based on race. South Africans will be shocked to hear your inverted version of their old system is acceptable. I thought you were against racism??

Really??

Is this what we have come to??

Any danger we can talk about St Kilda on a St Kilda fan forum and leave the sweeping generalisations about the history of this country to somewhere else??

I wonder if they will do this at the London Olympics?

Might be a bit time consuming by the time they pay homage to the Druids, Celts, Vikings, Romans, Normans, Germanics, Anglo-Saxons, French etc. etc.
