Cobber321, I'm a WYSIWYG and my posts on this forum demonstrate that my aspirations and values are shared by the overwhelming majority of Australians. People who operate for 35 years within Education Departments are highly unlikely to qualify as a "radical".
As for screaming 'racism', as of today the latest bout of serial booing of Adam Goodes and the supportive reaction of Lewis Jetta appear to have shaken AFL administrators out of their collective non-nod, wink-wink slumber and inspired investigative journalists to delve deeper:
"... Waleed Aly nailed it when he pointed out the real issue: that Australians are comfortable with minorities until these minorities start displaying they don’t know their place. To deny the link between Goodes’ activism and this crowd response is to deny what is right in front of you. As other Aboriginal commentators have stated, Goodes is not even someone we’d consider a radical. He’s merely looking for a safer world and working environment where he shouldn’t have to be the target of racist bullying just for being who he is. ..."
