Irony

Little men with little minds and little imagination go through life in little ruts, smugly resisting all changes which would jar their little worlds. (Zig Ziglar)

The following two comments were received by Blak and Black yesterday in response to Blak and Black’s post “Has the Pacific Islands Forum (“PIF”) become a tool for white neo-colonial interests?”. The first comment was made by someone who identifies himself as “Richard Toms” and who claims to be a police officer. The IP address for this comment traces back to Queanbeyan and would fit with the writer being an Australian Federal Police (“AFP”) officer, though this attribution is uncertain at this stage.

I logged on to your blog after being approached by one of your collogues [sic] wanting my signature on your petition calling for a Royal Commission into the AFP, my question is why? Does anyone really care about what a bomb assed black cunt really thinks? You complain about white genocide against your people. The sooner we get there the better, all you black cunts are nothing more than a waste of space, a drain on hard working, Christian society. It might surprise you to learn that most as you say ‘white’ Australians hate the very ground you black cunts walk on. If you all committed suicide it would save the rest of us the trouble of finishing what was started in 1788.

I joined the police for the very purpose of dealing with you useless black cunts in the most direct way I could think of, at the end of my boot. Shit you people really do look sub-human, which is because you are sub-human; you even make Neanderthals look normal. Every time I see one of you useless black cunts in the street I stop to look for your tails before I lay my size 13 into your useless arses.

Just up and die and do all god fearing Christians a favour [sic].

The second commenter, who backs up the comments made by “Richard Toms”, identifies himself as Paul and who claims to be an employee of Ernst & Young, “Paul’s” demonstrates a command of the written word which on even the most benign analysis is verging on functional illiteracy, which would be in keeping with him being an Ernst & Young employee.

Well hello there you useless abo good for nothing walking dead man. You have certainly caused a stir now haven’t you, useless abo cunt. What are you actually crapping about? Poor abo cunt lost his job. Well that job really belongs to white people not black. The abo should not have been there in the first place, he deserves [sic] what he got. I’m proud to stand up and be counted as one of those Australians who hate you abo cunts. Good on Richard for having the balls to tell you what he thinks, I’m adding my thoufgts [sic] to his. We don’t want your kind in this country, you don’t belong here, go back to where you came from. As someone else has said in relation to you, crawl back into the gins cunt that you crawled out from. Hey cunt, I work for Ernst & Young, I’m proud to say that. Do I care about your bumb [sic] useless blog? Nup, no one does. I can say what I like and nobody cares. I reckon one of my mates in the AFP will gut you before much longer and good ridddence [sic] to you, I say. Won’t need no pillow cases when we come for you because no body [sic] cares we know you about the fat bitch and where she lives. You’ll did [sic] abo shit, you wont [sic] see Christmas, which is for white christians [sic] only.

While I appreciate that there is a view in the world of blogging that one should not feed the trolls and that “Richard Toms” and “Paul” probably give troll’s a worse name, Blak and Black is about exposing this type of entrenched racism, which is so prevalent within the Australian community, to the international community.

While on the topic of exposing Australia’s entrenched racist attitudes to the international community, I wonder if Australia would have been so successful in marketing itself to Britain as a preferred holiday destination if the average Briton knew of the full extent and range of Australia’s racist attitudes to its indigenous population? On this point it is worth considering both the content of and the controversy surrounding the “Where the bloody hell are you?” marketing campaign.

The pillow case wearing gutless wonder from Ernst & Young

Asked in 1898 to choose a single defining event in recent history, the German Chancellor Bismarck replied, “North America speaks English”. (Nicholas Ostler)

Riding the coat tails of an English speaking North America is the Deputy Sheriff with the rusty badge, Australia. If we stop and consider history for a moment and if we imagine that Australia was colonised by the Spanish instead of the English, with the flow on effect that Australia was Spanish rather English speaking, I wonder if the international community would be as tolerant of Australia’s on-going genocide of its indigenous population.

I headed this post “Irony” for a very good reason. “Paul” of Ernst & Young boasts loudly and proudly that, “Wont [sic] need no pillow cases when we come for you because no body [sic] cares”. Apart from his obvious lack of literacy skills, “Paul” exposes himself for the limited intellect that he obviously is. He claims to be “… proud to stand up and be counted as one of those Australians who hate you abo cunts”. Well and good, so “Paul” why don’t you drop your metaphorical pillow case, given that you so proudly boast that you “wont [sic] need no pillow case” and stand up and be counted as an open supporter of the principles that you so obviously cherish – racism, hatred, xenophobia and fear mongering. Why won’t you do this? Well the answer is simple; you’re a little man with a little mind and little imagination who goes through life in little ruts, smugly resisting all changes which would jar your little world.

“Paul” as for your poorly structured comment “we know you about the fat bitch and where she lives” I’m not sure exactly what point you are trying to make here, but I will say that once you resort to personal invective, you’ve lost the argument. While we’re on this poin, “Paul”, if you have an issue with Blak and Black, you deal with me directly; you don’t go around threatening my friends and family. While I’m sure that you and your mate “Richard Toms” are so blasé about your threats and intimidation to me and my friends and family, because you know that the Australian police don’t investigate complaints made by Indigenous Australians against ‘white’ Australians, you shouldn’t assume that the rest of the Australian and international community share those puerile views.

The pillow case wearing gutless wonders from ACT Treasury

“Paul”, in your racist rant you also mention that the “Poor abo cunt lost his job”. I assume that you are referring to the former Commissioner for ACT Revenue who was sacked from his job because of his insistence that ‘white’ Australians hold themselves accountable to the same standards of the ‘rule of law’ to which they seek to hold ‘black’ Australians accountable. If my assumption is correct, then it fits with you being an Ernst & Young employee as it was Ernst & Young Canberra that gave a racist within ACT Treasury unauthorised access to the former Commissioner for ACT Revenue’s Ernst & Young personnel file. The former Commissioner for ACT Revenue has always maintained that his Ernst & Young personnel file was fraudulently altered to derail his application to the Australian Human Rights and Equal Opportunity Commission complaining about racism at both Ernst & Young and ACT Treasury. “Paul”, I wonder if you are one of the people he was planning to lodge a complaint about?

Like all racists “Paul”, you are gutless. If you really hold these views and are not afraid to show your face, how about we arrange for a face to face debate on the issues to be videotaped and placed on YouTube? It’s about time Ernst & Young’s clients learned what type of people the firm is prepared to call an employee, partner and colleague. Perhaps your so called mates from the Australian Federal Police who want to gut me before Christmas would like to join in the debate as well. Let’s do it “Paul”, sans pillow cases, naturally!
