Some seriously insightful posts, thanks for sharing. But my point stands and I cannot take someone like Winmar seriously anymore when he refers to people as "white fellas", sorry I just cant its simply appalling. It's hypocritical, derogatory, racist and only hurts the people he is in fact trying to protect and fight for, not to mention giving the uneducated haters more ammunition. If youre gonna fight for change, do it properly FFS or you'll be considered as just another money grabber (which is how I view Winmar today).
