Big W and Aldi remove "racist" Australian day Tshirts - Polidicks

[QUOTE]You do not write the year oppression of the indigenous people began.[/QUOTE] now [I]thats[/I] fucking racist [QUOTE=gerbe1;43472135]The reason this is [I]worse[/I] than the date of Australia day is because on that day we are celebrating everything about Australia, the fact that it coincides with Captain Cook's arrival is pretty dumb but it also isn't the whole point of it.[/QUOTE] what?

[QUOTE=ScottyWired;43471292]fuck I work at Big W and my shift starts in 31 minutes. I know what I'm doing for the next few hours :v:[/QUOTE] Pretend to do recovery but actually hide in a corner and hope the nightshift manager doesn't find you?

[QUOTE=WaLLy3K;43472436]Pretend to do recovery but actually hide in a corner and hope the nightshift manager doesn't find you?[/QUOTE] Well I just got back from my shift, and yes, that pretty much sums up the three hours. [B]I actually found the box where all these recalled shirts are.[/b] The white one in the top picture is made of a different material to the others and it's comfortable as fuck. I kinda wanted one for myself no matter what was written on it.

[QUOTE=abcpea;43472320]now [I]thats[/I] fucking racist what?[/QUOTE] I don't understand what you mean by the first part. For the second part, the date of Australia day is controversial because it marks the day that the first fleet arrived. I did it again though. I meant the arrival of Captain Arthur Phillip, not Cook.

Every group of people are encouraged to be proud of their heritage except Europeans. I don't understand this whole white guilt thing. Europeans should not feel bad for being human. People kill each other over land and resources, that's everyones history. Why should Europeans feel bad that they have been winning the last couple thousand years. My great great grandpa was Native American I feel a lot of pride in that. I think its awesome and plan on visiting a reservation one day. Im not happy about how it all went down in America but that's life. What I think is really a shame is the immigration policies of Europe that will destroy the individual cultures of Europe. White guilt is going to cause a genocide of European culture. Australians shouldnt feel bad about their heritage and be able to wear what ever shirt they want. Political correctness is a joke and very one sided. Its frowned upon to be a conservative and Christian, yet to be liberal somehow implies intellectual superiority. I'm kind of ranting, sorry.

Really I would laugh at this as much as I would laugh at a Shirt that had a big American Flag with the words "COLONIAL REPRESENTATIVE" on the front.

So what is exactly racist about the shirts? Does it discriminate any people of color? How?

[QUOTE=treeservice;43474723]Don't you take pride in your family or country?[/QUOTE] no it's not the 1800s anymore

[QUOTE=SuddenImpact;43474671]So what is exactly racist about the shirts? Does it discriminate any people of color? How?[/QUOTE] It's been explained at least three times already (and it's only the first page!) but the year on the shirt is not the foundation of Australia as a federation, but the year Britain came over and, coincidentally, killed a lot of indigenous people.

[QUOTE=Fatfatfatty;43471006]How in the fuck is that racist. It doesnt claim any race is inferior or superior to another, this is just another serious case of white guilt.[/QUOTE] It's insensitive to the Indigenous Australians that have inhabited this land for much longer than anyone else to say that the country began to exist once white men found it. Not a hard concept to grasp.

Also taking pride in your country is even more silly, since at least race objectively exists. Countries are just man-made lines in the sand.

[QUOTE][B]"Racist" -- A Word Invented by USSR's Leon Trotsky[/B] The word "racist" has for a long time been the single most effective fear-word in the leftist and neoconservative arsenal. For decades, they have successfully used it in the political arena to slander traditionalists, shut down debate, and leave opponents running for cover. In the social arena, they have caused even more damage by using it to brainwash impressionable children and young college students, and to teach people to hate their nation, their cultural traditions, and worst of all, themselves. What surprisingly remains almost totally undiscussed, even on the hard core traditionalist Right, is the word's origin. Did it come from a liberal sociologist? A 60's Marxist college professor? Perhaps a politician in the Democratic Party? No. It turns out that the word was invented by none other than one of the principal architects of the 74-year Soviet nightmare, the founder and first leader of the infamous Red Army, Leon Trotsky. Take a look at this document if you would, dear reader. Славянофильство, мессианизм отсталости, строило свою философию на том, что русский народ и его церковь насквозь демократичны, а официальная Россия -- это немецкая бюрократия, насажденная Петром. Маркс заметил по этому поводу: "Ведь точно так же и тевтонские ослы сваливают деспотизм Фридриха II и т. д. на французов, как будто отсталые рабы не нуждаются всегда в цивилизованных рабах, чтобы пройти нужную выучку". Это краткое замечание исчерпывает до дна не только старую философию славянофилов, но и новейшие откровения "расистов". This is Leon Trotsky's 1930 work, "The History of the Russian Revolution", from which shown above is a passage. The last word in that passage is "расистов", whose Latin transliteration is "racistov", i.e., "racists". This work here is the first time in history one will ever find that word. My more doubtful readers may check the internet, the microfiche and microfilm at the local library, as well as the numerous books arrayed along the shelves there, but they shall never find an earlier usage of the word "racist" than Trotsky's coinage of the word here. So the next logical question is what was Leon Trotsky's purpose in inventing this word? To find out, let us look at a full English translation of the paragraph we looked at before. "Slavophilism, the messianism of backwardness, has based its philosophy upon the assumption that the Russian people and their church are democratic through and through, whereas official Russia is a German bureaucracy imposed upon them by Peter the Great. Mark remarked upon this theme: "In the same way the Teutonic jackasses blamed the despotism of Frederick the Second upon the French, as though backward slaves were not always in need of civilised slaves to train them." This brief comment completely finishes off not only the old philosophy of the Slavophiles, but also the latest revelations of the 'racists.'" The Slavophiles which Trotsky alluded to were historically a group of traditionalist Slavs who valued greatly their native culture and way of life, and wanted to protect it. Trotsky on the other hand saw them and others like them as an impedement to his internationalist communist plans for the world. This man didn't care one iota about the Slavic Russians whom he supposedly served. To him, Slavophiles, i.e. Slavs that committed the "crime" of loving their own people and trying to protect their traditional ways were simply "backward", and others like them were simply "racists". The reality of the word's origin is indeed quite a far cry from the left-liberal version of the story: that the word was coined in bona fides to identify people who were just plain bigoted against certain racial groups, and as a rallying cry for good liberals to protect the racial minorities from the bigots. On the contrary, the actual concept behind the word (even though he hadn't invented it quite yet) -- that ethnocentric "backwardness" must take a back seat to "enlightened" internationalism -- was often used by Army-Navy Commissar Trotsky as a rallying cry for good Red Army communists to embark upon murderous rampages against peoples who resisted having their traditional way of life paved over and replaced with an alien system.[1] Fast-forwarding to today in 2010, the only changes to the word and its underlying concept from 1930 (besides Marxists having perfected the art of achieving the same thing with less blood but no less misery) are that the word's targets have expanded from just Slavs who won't submit to the Marxist internationalist plan to uproot and destroy their culture and traditional way of life, to all white people, Slavic or otherwise, who won't submit to that same vile Marxist plan. Also, those who arm themselves with the word have expanded from a handful of communists to the entire liberal and neoconservative establishment in nations all across the world. Leon Trotsky, after helping Lenin to create the Soviet murder machine in which he and Trotsky killed 1 to 4 million[2] people, was removed from power and expelled from the Soviet Union in the year 1929 after losing a power struggle to become Lenin's successor to Josef Stalin. However, before fading into the pages of history, Leon Trotsky would do one last thing in 1930 that would arguably cause more damage to the West than Stalin and his successors' entire Soviet nuclear arsenal could ever have done. He would invent a word that would empower literally the most rotten, traitorous weasels within the West to redefine those loyal to their people, their cultural traditions and way of life as the worst evil, and to send the government, the education system, and the mass media on an absolute royal crusade until they themselves and virtually everyone else around them actually believe it. And this unholy creation would be repeated over and over again, bolstered by revisionist history fabricated by more of the same rotten weasels falsely portraying the white man as the sole perpetrator of slavery and genocide in the world, and this would go on and on until the West would submit via demoralization to the entire Trotskyist internationalist agenda without a single shot being fired. We can see the final stages of this playing out right now, with racial double standards having been created here in America (at the expense of American whites, of course), with the creation of "racism" and "hate speech" offenses in Europe (only targeting the indigineous population, of course), with the Canadian and Australian governments having implemented "multiculturalism" as official state policy (at the expense of the pre-existing Canadian and Australian cultures), and most of all, with the huge wave of third-world immigration into the West, supported by all Western governments (otherwise it wouldn't be happening), which is radically changing the makeup and culture of those countries, and is threatening their original populations with becoming a minority in their own countries within just a few decades. Due especially to Trotsky's hand in the murder of millions of people under the Lenin regime, as well as the ongoing global recession causing many fence sitters to take a side in these affairs, Rightists have a real opportunity to shut the lid on this word once and for all, simply by telling the truth about who invented the word and what its purpose was (and is). It is an opportunity that we cannot afford to miss. One can hardly imagine a true Euro-nationalist movement where most of the people in it believe they are "racists" for daring to embark on such a project, as today's reigning system would have us believe.[/QUOTE] [URL="http://penetrate.blogspot.com/2010/01/racist-word-invented-by-ussrs-leon.html"]http://penetrate.blogspot.com/2010/01/racist-word-invented-by-ussrs-leon.html[/URL] [highlight](User was permabanned for this post ("Gimmick" - Megafan))[/highlight]
