Adam Goodes Vs the spreaders of hate

[karliandjacko]

We have people spreading the hate for everyone from the PM to the disabled and refugees everyday.

Today we have Adam Goodes, who truly lived up to his name.

Oh I "get it" ... works BOTH ways

I doubt it.

OMG Bushie - I will bite once but not again because this is not healthy for my soul - not that i expect you to understand that either.

So - your ancestors have been systematically hunted, raped, murdered? Their babies were buried in sand with just their heads poiking out and then horses were ridden through them? Their water ways were poisoned? They were placed in chains - around their necks?Thier children have been taken away? They have been forced from their homes? They have been forbidden to speak their language? They have been hunted into packs and told to live on a mission, needing written permission to go visit someone?

You, yourself every day is looked at with suspicion? People get on a bus, look at the seat next to you and then desperately scan the entire bus? You have to show your bag when leaving KMart - EVERY.SINGLE. TIME. Every kid in your kids grade gets invited to the birthday party except yours?

Whenever something goes missing or someone does something wrong, you feel (and look) guilty even tho you are innocent? You are scared to looka person of authority in the eye?

If this has happened to you, then yes it must work both ways and I am sorry.

I suspect it hasnt. I suspect you have been called names.

If only.....................

Im not replying on behalf of lobs, but as a reader, I dont understand the 'bleat about it constantly' comment..

If you want to share your story, Im pretty sure those who are interested, will be interested.

Those who arent interested can ignore it, if that suits them.

The Holocaust in Poland "might" give you an idea of what happened to my family

Booing an entire team in opposition is hardly the same as prolonged, systemic booing of one single personover a 2 year period.

The former might be in the 'spirit' of the game. The latter is out and out bullying.

It defies any sensible logic for this to be acceptable to defensible.

But calling a 13 yr old child "HUGE" is ok? omg
