Seems the protests in America have moved on from George Floyd and police brutality, to 'White privilege' etc.

Talk about Rooster privilege goose.

Whenever I hear terms like white privilege or white supremacy, I place them in an airtight container marked 'Racist'. Reject the double standards.

Anyone that goes to one of those rallies is a selfish clown. I don't mind the politics (though BLM whilst well-meaning has been highjacked by hard left lunatics) but we don't need a second wave just because some white people feel guilty.

I was at the Midnight Oil concert in the Domain and when they played "Beds are Burning" a thousand white people around me were screaming along "it belongs to them let's give it back". I wondered how many of those people would actually "give it back". Start with their house. Lip-service to make themselves feel good. That's all it is.

Totally agree JT. Some people just have to be outraged. Outraged at anything. Me, I'm outraged when we get dudded by the officials.

BB is at heart, I would think, a jolly old soul who loves his footy and Mrs. BB. I would also think that he knows the real implication of "Line 'em up" because it comes from the same lexicon and has the same sentiment behind it as the "chaff bags" and the "fist down the throat" stuff that Allan reserves for women and although now mercifully gone from radio, BB can easily fill in the blanks with Allan-isms when a isolation issue like this one arises - one which centres on females. Many timid, powerless, white men (and I'm not necessarily focusing on BB here) get off on that Right Wing bluster and having a go at someone and they gaggle up behind the Allans and the Rays too frightened to face the world as it is - ironically it's the world that they voted for.

I'll march for that - when there is a COVID vaccine.

Be very careful what y'all say in the workplace and in society outside of these forums.
People are being sacked from their jobs in America for saying "all lives matter", which is now seen as racist....and for saying anything contrary to what the protesters are saying.
One guy who had such a placard in the BLM protest in Sydney was taken away by the police.
Jessica Mulroney, Meghan Markle's best friend has been sacked from her job as a tv presenter for a Canadian network after having a row about white privilege with a black social media influencer.
Also be ready to apologise for being white.

Think the bloke in Sydney may have been removed for his own safety and to prevent things getting out of hand

There are things in this country that need to change and from both sides. but its the bleeding idiots that take it all on and are just not relevant
Saw a classic, an African American expressed an opinion on FB about some facets of racism in the US, A white anglo woman got stuck into him saying how dare he say what he did and how wrong he was.
It cracked me up..

Pity Fox hadn't lined up its NRL journalists and said to them something like:

"Now listen here you lot, there is a Covid bubble in place around the NRL...so make absolutely sure you don't go within 2 metres of any of the players."
"This is very important. It's not business as usual."

--Because now Fox reporter Hanna Hollis is reportedly being investigated for breaching the NRL bubble by getting closer than 2 metres to Valentine Holmes when he came off injured.

On a more positive note, Faamausili played well for the Warriors against the cowboys.
