White Aboriginals doing traditional welcome
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.

Are you seriously coming into a public forum with this comment?saintspremiers wrote:If we have to have this stupid traditional welcome thing on indigenous round, can we at least get someone black to do it?

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.

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.Enrico_Misso wrote:Perhaps all the players could put on blackface for this special round?

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 just highlights how stupid you are
Mods I want this guy banned , this is simply not acceptable
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.

To quote the Bloodhound Gang:

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?kp83 wrote: 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.

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??

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??
Life is very short and there's no time for fussing and fighting my friends.

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.
The rest of Australia can wander mask-free, socialise, eat out, no curfews, no zoning, no police rings of steel, no illogical inconsistent rules.
They can even WATCH LIVE FOOTY!
