So you think poorly of Silk who is extremely proactive in calling out racism
Winmar lifting up his shirt, did far more than Goodes media justifications.
The difference between the two, was Winmar actions was a statement to say that is who he was and he was proud of who was. He was proud to identify himself as being aboriginal, I respected him for that and his obvious courage to stand in front of those that labeled him, to prove to them that he was better than their ignorant beliefs.
Goodes words was always done behind a camera. The only time his actions spoke was pointing out a 13 year old so security could remove her publicly. He then went on to victimise himself and vilify those that didn’t agree with his views. Goodes is a racist himself in the way he has vilified others to promote his cause. The sad thing is, that at times his messages which are mostly right, get lost in his portrayal of them.
Betts, I don’t mind. With Betts it’s more to do with the commantry bs in his games, you get that, it’s not his fault.
His views on raceism is expressing at how disappointed he is that it is still a thing. I agree with him, it is disappointing that bigoted people think it’s an insult to highlight a person skin colour. Hoping in time that perception changes.
Burgoyne preaches more on acceptance of each other rather than focusing on skin colour. Great message, he does a great job with it. Hawthorn great.
These are just my views and opinions, I didn’t include Cyril, as I haven’t really heard him speak much on rasicm. I did include Winmar, as Winmar was one of the first to highlight the ignorance of racism.
