I am an indigenous Australian, and I'm very disappointed with the war dances to celebrate. Especially Lumumba, he can piss off, I know he thinks he's backing up Goodsey, but he's just being a flog, he's not indigenous. There's many indigenous dances you can do after scoring. Doing a war chant at opposition supporters is not on, they're not your opponents. Do it before the game....
What is the purpose of a war dance?
Aren't they used for exactly the purpose for which Adam Goodes used one?
The Recognise campaign exists because the aboriginal community do NOT feel respected at all.But Aboriginal cultures are already respected in Australian society anyway just like any other demographic (or at least in Melbourne it is).
Me personally, I don't think the race of an individual should be recognised by others (but it should still be respected). The individual's actions/merits is what should be recognised (completely independent of background).
I'm not sure what goes on in NT, but surely the consensus of respecting Indigenous groups should be the same as in Melbourne.
45

35

80%

To rile up opposition fans? No that is not the purpose of a war dance.What is the purpose of a war dance?

If you don't feel safe after that then the last thing you need to worry about is Indigenous AussiesSpeak for yourself. After seeing Goodes and his spear throwing jig, I no longer feel safe.
so reconciliation???To rile up opposition fans? No that is not the purpose of a war dance.
I applaud you for showing this thread that indigenous people don't just lap up what Goodes does and how he does it. I'm sure more would if not for fear of backlash. No one likes the slander of "traitor" that could come
I still have not heard the Goodes apologists on how it's just dismissed and ignored that his war dance terrified young girls in the section by the fence he was running at. So far two people at the ground, nearby commented on this. No video/stills yet, but want to know their thoughts.
If you knew your own daughter was genuinely scared by the display would you call her wrong? would you educate her? or would turn the responsibility to him and think maybe Goodes could have thought this out better, and done something more harmless? I just wonder.
Today as I was walking down the street I became worried about copping a boomerang to the back of my head.If you don't feel safe after that then the last thing you need to worry about is Indigenous Aussies
If fans don't wish to be called racist, show some iota of understanding for the context of racism in Australia.
Let's just imagine for a moment that you have been living in Melbourne for last 50,000 years and a group of violent Sydney siders came and took over. Let's imagine that most of you were killed and the few remaining were settled in communities and taught the religion of Sydney.
225 years later I suspect a few of you would speak up about the plight of your people.

So Goodes doesn't want to be singled out because of his race but wants to be singled out because of his race. Okay.
I'm sure there's enough room here for everyone to be douches together.Go preach somewhere else

it's an interesting topic that. We bought western innovation to these shores and their standard of living went south ....i'd be so happy that they'd shared the technology that enabled me to live to be 225+ years old.

After 50,000 years of life and then 225 years of racism and injustice, death and disease.Such an ironic Bold. This is exactly Goodes' problem. He doesn't understand that 225 years ago is not today. Even 20 years ago Nicky Winmar being barraged by thousands of racist taunts is not equal to a 13 year old girl saying ape.
When you make out like its 20 years ago level of racism, or even 225 years ago you just look silly and your agenda shines through.
Goodes' problem is that he is militant in his approach. Garlett was able to express himself in a non-provocative manner, which I'm sure will be much better received.
The Vatican?yeah, but what have the Romans ever given us?
