Over the past seven days Andrew Bolt has put up some 12 posts that may be considered racist or designed explicitly to elicit racially or religiously vilifying remarks from people who comment at his blog.
On Saturday, 3 April, there was one; on Sunday, 4 April, he gave it a rest; one on the 5 April; three on 6 April; two on 7 April, four on 8 April, and, so far, one on 9 April.
Three of Bolt’s four main target groups; boatpeople, non-white immigrants (especially non-white refugee immigrants) who engage in violent activities in Australia, Islam, and Aborigines, came into Bolt’s sights this week. Only Aborigines were spared Bolt’s vilification.
One comment in particular from a person called ‘Phyllis’ sums up Bolt’s racist views:
NZ has become a conduit for raw sewage. If they wish to fill their country with scum, fine. It is now time for Australia to apply stringent entry criteria to Kiwi passport holders, and to actively discriminate against certain sub-groups.
‘Raw sewage’? ‘Scum’? The narrative and comments prior to Phyllis’s comment makes it clear that the people Phyllis are referring to are non-white non-European people that were refugee asylum seekers who were accepted by New Zealand, who, as New Zealand citizens, exercised their right to come to live in Australia. They have done nothing wrong at all, yet Phyllis recommends that Australia ‘actively discriminates’ against ‘certain sub-groups’.
This is racial vilification. It is both immoral and it is illegal, and Bolt, by allowing it to be published on a moderated blog, is as guilty as ‘Phyllis’ is of this disgusting piece of racial vilification, vilification that is endorsed by many others who comment at Bolt’s racist hate blog.

It should come as no surprise that Bolt seems to harbor a strong sympathy for Afrikaners and the type of mentality that justified Apartheid. He therefore appears keen to give any opportunity he can for many of his readers to air their prejudices and have them confirmed, since they pretty much all seem settled on the opinion that the end of "white" rule in South Africa will inevitably result in the decadence that comes from "blacks" trying to run things when they are apparently "innately" unable to do so.
ReplyDeleteSo he used the recent killing of Afrikaner Eugene Terreblanche to give a chance to his readers to jeer at the innate incompetence of the African untermenschen and sympathise with the poor Afrikaners who've never done anything to deserve being surrounded by such "people", and who should no doubt be given priority preference as refugees over the Africans of the darker-skinned variety.
Anyway, I haven't had the chance to go through that first thread in detail (plenty to find there for the purposes of this site -- be patient with me!), but perusing Bolt's follow-up to that one today I see immediately something rather interesting.
Ah, I realise now I hadn't reached tony of coburg in my series on Bolt's most prominent racists, only having introduced readers to Spencer de Vere and the inimitable ronald reagun! Anyway, tony of coburg was next on the list of the three racist stooges as he's accompanied the previous two in constituting this trio of long-time, blatant racists happily given a platform on Bolt's blog.
What's particularly interesting about today's thread is that Bolt SNIPS tony of coburg! And Bolt actually does us the favor of explaining why tony of coburg has been SNIPPED. Bolt says:
"Tony, if you file one more racist comment I’ll ban you. Sick of it."
Isn't that interesting? Is this a mea culpa? Let's analyse this.
Bolt warns tony of coburg, "if you file one more racist comment I’ll ban you." Hmm. He says "one more". That means Bolt is AWARE that tony of coburg has filed PREVIOUS racist comments! And despite this, this tony of coburg has evidently been allowed to continue on -- notwithstanding Bolt's being "sick of it". But alas, such is Bolt's tolerance of racism that he wearily allows the poster to continue posting -- although his patience is clearly reaching its limit! He's "sick of it", you know!
So Andrew Bolt claims to be "militantly" against racism and yet gives somebody he ACKNOWLEDGES to be a racist pass after pass. And he's giving him ONE MORE PASS here! He warns that he's finally getting "sick of it"; perhaps not so much the racism, we may infer, as much as the difficult legal obstacles it may potentially raise for him. But tony of coburg has been warned that he has one more chance, because Andrew Bolt is finally getting "sick" of his racist comments. He's been willing to tolerate his racist comments thus far, but someone so "militantly" against racism as Bolt can only be expected to get "sick of it" eventually. After all, it's not like he's FOR racism or anything like that, so what on earth was tony of coburg ever thinking in continuously posting racist comments?!
So there we have it. An apparent mea culpa by Andrew Bolt. And just to confirm how "militantly" against racism he is, he's willing to give tony of coburg YET another pass! Because he's "militantly" against racism, you see. That's why.
But these Afrkaner-solidarity postings of late offer a treasure trove for the purposes of this site. All I need is the time! God willing I'll have some time to log all the potential infractions of the state's racial vilification laws that I find here.

Peter, thanks for your input on these matters; it's much appreciated. I should also thank you, and apoligise for not having done so earlier, for your series of comments at my earlier post.
ReplyDeleteWould you mind if I copy and pasted your work to Word so that I have a hard copy for later use?
Damian
No, thank YOU for doing what you're doing and giving the opportunity for this vilifying nasty bit of work to be brought to account, or at least be kept tabs on for now should justice actually be served in the future without fear (of Rupert Murdoch) or favor.
ReplyDeleteSo of course you can do whatever you wish with my humble contributions.
Thank you once again!
Hi Damian,
ReplyDeleteI have been blogging about Bolt's race-baiting ways for some time, it might interest you to have a read.
Here's one post:
