Thanks for posting those excerpts K. It seems that this saga has been rife with individuals and corporations wanting to protect their image. I understand that's just how it is in modern society Sigh.

Here's another angle on Eddie's departure from the National Indigenous Times:

Quote:
Over the weekend I thought maybe I was being too sympathetic towards Eddie and the Collingwood Football Club, so I rang some prominent Indigenous former AFL players and businesspeople who have spearheaded stamping out racism in the AFL and society as a whole.

Each and every one of them said that Eddie had said a stupid thing and should have apologised sooner. However, they had a tremendous amount of respect for Eddie and his efforts in the Indigenous space — especially since the Adam Goodes saga.

They said that Eddie had made good on his promise to do more for Indigenous communities. They were, however, reluctant to make any public comment in support of Eddie for fear of being ripped apart.

No, it was at Jeff’s Shed.

Of course they have to protect their images.
They commissioned a report that said they were directors of a club that was systemically racist for a long period of time and that the board should be vetted.
They are on the board on an honorary basis and most have other successful commercial business interests. If Eddie was not made the public scapegoat it could have been them. It still may be.

Just an aside. When I visited the States on the nineties, I was intrigued (for want of a better word) that the African Americans were happy to call each other the n word but were upset if another non African American person did this🙄 If this was such an insulting word, why would keep its usage going? And if it’s a matter of being selectively offended, why is this? You cannot be half pregnant? I found this selective use offensive and illogical. Go figure🙄

Interesting Lazza, isn't it. Blowed if I know. Maybe they use it in a sarcastic (of whites), or cynical (again, of whites) or political (remember what the whites call us) way?

Yes, that is exactly true. Eddie is currently the scapegoat for the entire board, because it is the entire board that is responsible for leadership of the club. It is not just Eddie but the entire regime over which he presided which failed to address the issues of racism in the club and allowed it to fester. Eddie's string of "mis-steps" as the Age refers to, that is, a series of embarrassing and offensive remarks in public, were the expression of this unhealthy culture. It is also true that some of the board members may still be targeted by the media.
I hope in fact that the entire board undergoes radical change, because I think this could bring very positive change for us moving forward. The time has come for the ancien regime to make way for the new social order.

Whilst you are organising the new social order, can you have a word to Assange about releasing the Murphy report? Only if you have time though.

I have requested the release of this report by Wikileaks on numerous occasions, but so far no success. Apparently, far reaching redactions are required to protect the security ofall information sources. May take some years before the report can be safely released.

I have an aboriginal mate who got called a coconut for saying Eddie deserved better — by a woman who thinks she’s a world authority on indigenous people and racism because she has an aboriginal great-grandparent. A lot of people are too scared to speak up. Especially aboriginal folk who are shy of media and attention to begin with, it’s bloody hard for them.

I understand.
They don’t want the well kept secret that NB isn’t a great coach to get out.
