Australia and all them weird places

Dont know much about aussie rules or goodes but it seems some aussie yokels are actually saying that calling him an ape and telling him to go back to the zoo are not racist just crowd banter. The mind boggles.

You couldn't make this up. The girl's mother is calling for an apology. He didn't press charges, said she wasn't to blame to begin with and was pointing it out because of the fact she was a child and it wa indicative of the environment she was brought up in.

If anyone should be apologising to the child, it's her own f**king mother, for bringing her up thinking it was okay to call Goodes an ape, and for using her as a pawn in the media.

F**king hell, the mind boggles.

F**king hell, the mind boggles. I loved this comment: “She’d only turned 13 five days beforehand. She was technically still 12. She had no idea what she was saying.”

Indeed. And whose f**king fault was that?

Her comments cannot be doing anything other than making her daughter, and others, think it is alright to call Goodes an ape. She's a complete disgrace as a mother, as a person and as an Australian.

Ive deleted two people I worked with over there off facebook due to their racist comments - disgusting in this day and age!!! I hope you're not painting every Australian with the same light brush Some Aussies are great craic bit harsh on them, its like everywhere you'll always find a group, either racist or homophobic or both. South Africans are the worst I've ever encountered for racism, Americans towards Mexicans are just as bad. Irish towards Travellers too. Hadn't through about one Sid, travellers usually don't help themselves however. Shows like 'Big fat gypsy wedding' for example.

You're right there. When the travellers who run channel 4 commission programmes from the travellers who run the independent production companies they're really letting themselves down

Being home from oz 2months ago i dont mind tarnishing them as an openly racist lot. They will admit it too. Their fed up with the majority of indigenious people raping the system and being looked after. But also the irish, the lebs, the chinease, the muslims they all get it. All down to the fact that australia has a country is still quite young and struggles for its own identity

In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth....

Thousands of years later the empire sent forth it's subjects and they created a whole raft of new countries in the east, west, north and south....
