    Given the tone of many posts on this forum I think it is time to post this short video

    Social justice wanking. I mean, why not start off the day judging people aren’t as big a race baiter as you?

    He’s not Flight of the Concords funny. Don’t forget boys, even laughing can be racist.

    Its actually a great video. I love sarcastic humor and this guy is good! I wish politicians on the left would watch this because 99% of their platform seems to be about race.

    Sorry an utterly beside the point video the last thing you should give racism is your time. He just wasted yours and his.

    As Morgan Freeman says, the best way to get rid of racism is to quit talking about it.

    I would look silly if I came on this forum talking about crocodiles. I don't know anything about living with them.

    Yet here we are.

    For reference, Australian Demogrpahics:

    Engaging conversations about race... it's silly.

    I've seen that interview. Morgan is so awesome and based and logical. he is also impervious to race baiting. So is Denzel W. I saw one with him where they were trying to bait him but it didn't work.

    Australians don't consider Lebanese and Greeks as white?

    Interesting.

    Wow it looks like they don't have any Africans in Australia at all.

    Hard to see how they could have much insight into African-American issues

    Curious. When we talk about guns, 99% of the platform is about guns. When it's abortion... 99% is about women's rights. When we're talking about Trump's crimes, 99% is about crimes by the former administration. And the same when we talk about healthcare, immigrant rights, government ethics, gay rights, .... God! The Democratic Party HAS to be the only one in the world where 99% of their platform is about 10,000% of the issues.

    We're right in so many things that the issues have a hard time catching up with us....

    Interesting to see who the crowd is that, when somebody who is not an American makes a point about racism, they end up attacking their nationality.

    Your asking the wrong person. I'm a right leaning moderate. I'm pro-choice within reason. I don't know enough about guns to give too much commentary on it. I saw one of those senate hearings related to the AR-15 and i forget the guys name (ex-military) was saying there is a hand gun that can shoot as fast as an AR-15. I think it was a glock something. I don't think he said how many bullets it can hold in a clip though. I think the details matter. I believe in mental checks for firearm purchasers. I can actually sympathize with the left on some of their issues but they seem to take it all to the extreme. I also don't wanna get in trouble for not staying on topic (which I have multiple times) so in regards to THIS thread, I do think they race bait like its going out of style and they really need to chill with that!

    I didn't ask anything. Just pointing out the nonsense.

    Well, there are some people who don't have the option of talking about racism only when it's "in style". They live it every day, so they don't have that privilege only white people have.

    Hey! Maybe THAT's one example of white privilege that you were looking for. Your request has been fulfilled.

    Then again, unlike the DNC followers, we don't embrace HYPOCRISY ;)

    Which proves you did not bother to watch as this is from NZ who has a very diverse population with an even more open immigration than Australia. We, in Australia are very very diverse. Immigration has increasingly been inclusive across the world with the only ones having difficulty are undocumented.

    Unfortunately that does not work as we have seen a rise in acceptance of racial vilification. I have seen it here on this board. Possibly my favourite is the excuse “gun deaths are not high because it is “black Gang” violence. NZ has always worked to be an inclusive country. After the Christchurch massacre the then PM stated “This is not who we are”.

    For start it winter and fricken freezing (well to us who are hot adapted). And if you have ever snorkeled in Australia even in summer you have to make sure you have plenty of sunscreen on the back of your knees! Ouch!

    The grieving mothers of dead Chicago children caught in gang cross fire would probably disagree
