   Makes sense.

   These days to point actual racism out is to racially vilify – period!

   10 bucks says that the party being racially vilified wasn’t whitey.

   I haven’t read enough of Steve’s posts to know if this was satire or not.

   Hopefully it was taken down because Kates realised it wasn’t his best work, not because of legal advice or anything.

   Did some Aussie sheilas object to being classified as town bikes?

   I’m not wondering where it went. I’m wondering why you took it down?

    Bit of a puzzler this. Don’t think Kathy would have minded the extra publicity for her book to be honest. Unless someone at the cat has something against her no real reason to withdraw.

    Meanwhile … in the Northern Territory: a rebel LNP aborigine says she was called a “lubra.”

    Cries “racism”. Here’s how:

    “We are not breast-plated niggers; we are home-grown, traditional people.”

    Has she committed an offence?

    I thought “lubra” was an indigenous word like koori, etc.

    Can someone educate me, please?

    A case for racial vilification:

    The Daily News Perth 16 July 1945:
    Not a half-caste
    BUNBURY, Mon — In a report published in the Daily News on, Wednesday it was incorrectly stated that ‘middle-aged half-caste Peter McDonald’ was charged in Bunbury Police Court that on July 10 he co-habited with a woman who was a half-caste within the meaning of the Native Administration Act.
    Peter McDonald is not a half-caste, but a white man.

    Fair enough, Baldrick, but have you asked this Mr McDonald which colour his skin is choosing to “express itself as”, this week?

    Otherwise, YOU could be committing a racist atrocity by describing a white man as a “white man”!

    I got the post summary by email, Steve. Kathy Shaidle is mentioned. I do not understand why it was pulled. But it is your post for you to as you wish.

    The post is still up at Law of Markets.

    I hope he was being sarcastic, but I couldn’t tell (which — Pro Tip — isn’t a good sign.)

    If he wasn’t being sarcastic, then yeah, it was just kinda sad and obtuse.
