I understand the definition of conflate.
I am asking you point blank; those that were at this rally worried about migrant crime and how the media and government deals with it, were they racist or xenophobic?

But that assumes people no all of the background of the group putting on the rally.
Many people probably feel their voivce is not being heard, because to even speak on these issues many times they are called racsit.
So they go to a rally with like minded people..
Some of those people may be scum bags, but that doesnt mean all are.
Again, we see this all the time.
Imagine being at a rally for blacks in the US, when large groups start chanting pigs in a blanket fry them like bacon.
Does that mean everyone there is a scum bag advocating violence? No.
Imagine going to a womans march not knowing that one of the leaders, Linda Sarsour once claimed that a woman named Hirsi Ali who was a victim of female genital mutilation should have her vagina taken away, and has made many anti semitic comments.
I think it is wrong to ignore the message all of these people have because they must be bad by associating with terrible people.
In this case it was a rally organised by far right groups. They weren't just there as speakers
I suspect ( and this is purely an opinion) that a large proportion of those present are members of those groups. Attendance seems to have been pretty small.
People shouldn't be called racist just for having concerns about racism. However on this site I see far more instances of people claiming it happens than it actually happening. See this thread for an example.
What doesn't help those with legitimate concerns is defending outright racists like Cordell just because they have some overlap in concerns.

But who is defending him?
Go back in the thread? before any of his words or past were put up, we had people exclaiming the rally was "100% nazi"
So people said whoa, I doont see that. I didnt hear any nazi slogans, or comments. In fact the video actaully showed them expressedly saying they werent nazis.
Yet despite that, we were told it was 100 percent nazi.
This is a way of silencing opinions.
Again, the womans march we now know was formed by anti semites from the beggining like Sarsour.
Should we condemn all of our moms and sisters that attended it as anti semites and not listen to the reasons they had for protesting?
Meanwhile sarsour is posing with congresspeople as recenlty as two days ago.
Yet where are the cries of racsim to shut down those people?
The selective applicatrion of guilt by association further proves this is being done for political reasons to silence opinions that hurt one sides narrative.

"worried about migrant crime and how the media and government deals with it"
While you seem comfortable knowing the hearts of strangers half way across the globe, I prefer not to claim that brand of clairvoyance.
Your focus seem to jump around erratically. I am not sure what this odd question has to do with whether someone's race or ethnicity should warrant special treatment or scrutiny by law enforcement.

The whole thread is based round defending him.
In this thread links have provided showing this guys history, basing your view of his level of racism on a video posted by someone supporting him seems a little bit naive.

So your are uncomfortable knowing the hearts of strangers, but have no problem saying those that conflate country of orgin with crime are racist?

Correct.
Ask me what is in the hearts of an audience member in a picture and I would never presume to know.
If that audience member was to say immigrants from Mexico are rapists and criminals, then they have expressed thier opinion on the topic and the mystery is no more.
Does that not make sense to you? This seems an odd conversation.

Are the wanna be nazis having a sad because they are being called out for what they are? a reply to: mazzroth
The only reason this made the news is because one of our politicians was there at the protest and has been called out for it.
You mean They(The Media) called Fraser Anning out for it using different figures it started off as $3000 Then went to 10,000, its obvious The Mainstream Media have a agenda here.
Look at the poll and tell Me there is no problem with African Gangs when a majority of Australia can see it.
www.facebook.com...
I Seen the interview where The Presenter was trying to bait Fraser and got snappy when She got the wrong answers.
His a Independent Senator doesn't that mean He can do what ever He likes and doesn't have to tow a party line?
I didn't see the media start any polls on Senator Sarah Hanson-Young when She took Her sick Daughter to swim with dolphins with tax payer money.

Australia is really difficult to migrate to, you have to have money in the bank, a way to make a living etc, we do accept some migrants as part of some displacement deal I am not sure of those numbers though.
These guys complaining are basically fanatics, they are being labelled Nazi because they are a bunch of racist rednecks.
Crime is not getting out of hand that is utter bollocks.
Wouldn't be in the government's best interest to report that crime is getting out of hand, now would it.

I live in the Eastern suburbs of Melbourne and can tell you it's rare to even see a African person, let alone ever witness any criminal behaviour by them. Although, my Dad until recently did own a hotel in Footscray and has some crazy stories about the issues he had with Sudanese refugees.
But Guess what? The western suburbs have always been a total s# hole... long before the Sudanese refugees ever started rocking up.

Also isn't media fake news, like all the anti Trump media right it's all fake, or is our media truthful and honest, but wait you think the media is hiding stats for the government.... I just keep up with the flip flopping with you lot, so which is it?

Now that is fair.
The reasons for it often seem to stem from crazy Religious leaders of a large sect who supposedly hijacked the prophets intent even though he did say it was ok to rape and plunder for his god if the infidels will not capitulate to them.

Can you show me then all this evidence, surely if there's a big problem with African gangs there would be heaps of videos and heaps of testimonials from people?
