**** Tahu, Seriously, Union really softend you up.
If that had been said in a pub, with an indigenous person present, Joey woulda been dragged outside and flogged. Thats the way most of them indigenous guys work. They stick together, like most minorities do.
It is an exageration of sorts, but tonight on the news was said that Tahu has said, that he has been hearing those remarks from Joey since he was a junior with the Knights.
It is unacceptable for a mentoring player, that is held in high regard amongst players of rugby league to be speaking of a player like that.
Indigenous people do feel strongly about that subject, I myself say it all the time, but i do pick my times to say it if you know what i mean.
Its another blemish in the game of league tho, and it doesnt surprise me. I think it coulda been handled differently, but I think its wrong to say he is a sook, obviously theres something going on if 2 words can drive him outta camp as quick as he got there
Even then he'll probably get bent out of shape when he's asked whether he wants to be black or white!
Exactly what i was telling my mum this morning, so true!Funny, I wonder if any of Slater's team mates were going to walk out when he said something that is socially just as bad, And probally has more long term social effects - Obviously im talking about depression. I guess its a case of what if, but maybe someone on his team had someone who was affected by depression in it.
Inglis, Can't take it when its about the colour of his skin. But won't say a thing when its one of the lowest sledges ever said on a sporting feild. I think its him just trying to get some attention. It's stupid.

Now that he has said one silly comment, that we are all guilty of doing at times he's the worst c@nt in the world.
Don't taint everyone with the same brush please.
I'm sure I can't be the only one on here that would never think of saying something like that, no matter who I'm in the company of at the time.
What you've quoted me on James has been taken out of context. What I stated with which you've misinterpreted is that: We are all guilty of saying something silly that we later regret. I was not suggesting what Johns remarked as something we all say.
Michael Richards better known as Kramer from TVs Seinfeld does make a good point.
This was his defence speech in court after making racial comments in his comedy act. He makes some very interesting points...
Someone finally said it. How many are actually paying attention to this? There are African Americans, Mexican Americans, Asian Americans, Arab Americans, etc.
And then there are just Americans. You pass me on the street and sneer in my direction. You call me 'White boy,' 'Cracker,' 'Honkey,' 'Whitey,' 'Caveman'... And that's OK.
But when I call you, Nigger, Kike, Towel head, Sand-nigger, Camel Jockey, Beaner, Gook, or Chink .. You call me a racist.
You say that whites commit a lot of violence against you... So why are the ghettos the most dangerous places to live?
You have the United Negro College Fund. You have Martin Luther King Day.
You have Black History Month. You have Cesar Chavez Day.
You have Yom Hashoah.. You have Ma'uled Al-Nabi.
You have the NAACP. You have BET... If we had WET (White Entertainment Television), we'd be racists. If we had a White Pride Day, you would call us racists.
If we had White History Month, we'd be racists.
If we had any organization for only whites to 'advance' OUR lives, we'd be racists.
We have a Hispanic Chamber of Commerce, a Black Chamber of Commerce, and then we just have the plain Chamber of Commerce. Wonder who pays for that??
A white woman could not be in the Miss Black American pageant, but any colour can be in the Miss America pageant.
If we had a college fund that only gave white students scholarships... You know we'd be racists.
There are over 60 openly proclaimed Black Colleges in the US. Yet if there were 'White colleges', that would be a racist college.
In the Million Man March, you believed that you were marching for your race and rights. If we marched for our race and rights, you would call
Us racists.
You are proud to be black, brown, yellow and orange, and you're not afraid to announce it. But when we announce our white pride, you call us racists.
You rob us, car jack us, and shoot at us. But, when a white police officer shoots a black gang member or beats up a black drug dealer running from the law and posing a threat to society, you call him a racist.
I am proud... But you call me a racist.
Why is it that only whites can be racists??
