[Imc-sydney] Racist song should NOT be hidden

[diet simon]

I disagree with you. As Whites we are living off the booty from the massacre, dispossession and ongoing brutalisation of Aborigines, no matter how strongly we support them. Just like the present generation of Germans have to live with the consequences of the holocaust, which include the understandable blanket accusation that all Germans are vile, so we/you should be able to stomach the text of this song. The singer would probably be your soulmate one-on-one, but she has a generic point with her lyrics. Leave it posted. Diet

  I don't know about you, but I am extremely offended by the Tent Embassy story complete with the song "Advance Australia White" and the accusation that we are 'ruthless and greedy'.

  Could someone please tell me what you think about hiding this. I do not like it when racism is directed at me by Aboriginal people whom I have always supported very strongly.
