Message: [QUOTE="lynx000, post: 3597256, member: 2065"] BP touched upon this, respectfully I disagree with your take on this. People like JT have a profile and a following, and therefore a platform to be utilised to shine a light on issues like this or other issues of concern to the indigenous population, like health, housing, job creation, educational opportunities for youngsters. If people in the fortunate position of JT do not speak out and use their platform, all you have is silence and the issues are not brought forward to the public mind. Every incident of racial abuse like this is an opportunity to educate the broader public about the issue and to reinforce the message that it is just not acceptable. If JT stayed quiet, there would be people (perhaps not necessarily you) shouting, he has got his and he only looks after himself, he has forgotten his roots and turned his back on his people. I am sorry but I think your take on this one is flawed. [/QUOTE]
