Yeah...let me guess.

* Do you automatically open your bag on leaving a store cos you know its gonna get checked?

* Have you continuously watched your kids not get served at a counter?

* Have you had someone on a plane look at you and then ask for another seat right in front of you?

* Have you been with a group in a pub and a glass is dropped and its YOU asked to leave?

* Have you ever gone to touch someone and they flinch automatically?

* Has every kid in the class been invited to a birthday party except yours? Explain that...........

This is daily. Call it what you want.

So many beautiful, kind, caring white Aussies but this ^^ is constant. Dont tell me racism doesnt exist!!

I know we are not.

It’s just that the hair shirt brigade want, or need, for the rest of us believe otherwise.

Me to Katy, it is all very well to say Australia is not racist because we are white and cant understand how it is to be a indigenous Australian, Lobs can XXXXX

Have you ever worked in a place where you are providing social services to indiginous persons? I have two family members who used to. Used to because they got out real quick. Refused to put up with the constant barrage of petty demands, followed by the foul language and abuse which followed when the demands couldn’t be immediately met. They were, at one time, those very same caring white Aussies, and still are, but are now somewhat more selective aboutindiginous persons they care about.

Now, if they or I had witness any of the incidents you describe, then they, as I, would have intervened because such conduct in my view is totally unacceptable. But, if these are examples of what constitutes racism now, then we have most certainly come a long way since the 1960s, though further work is required.

You think the same deal doesnt happen? Youthink it is a black thing to be upset? downtrodden? angry? frustrated? rude? abusive?

And here in lies the problem.........................

And like hell people intervene, 100,000 times I have caught the eye of a white witness to any of the above and 99999 times they have looked away..........

Anway , im not arguing - it is what it is - have a good day 🙂

[[[hugs]]] Lobs. It must be hard when people are so insenstive and arrogant.

Yes, I have.  I got, and gave, respect.  I loved the work, enjoyed the clients.
