Aborigines v Samoans (and Maoris) part 2

UP to 150 protesters have vowed to avenge the death of NRL star Johnathan Thurston's uncle during a protest outside a court south of Brisbane...

Richard Saunders' uncle, Wayne Saunders, said Aboriginal elders had decided to sever all cultural ties with New Zealand Maori, even though they were not linked to the killing, and other Pacific Island groups because of alleged continuing violence by islanders.

"Enough is enough," he said.

"We want to sever all ties with the Maoris and Samoans until they are taught cultural respect.

"These people are working in gangs ... (and) are murdering our people."

Wayne Saunders said he did not want to avenge his nephew, but dozens of other protesters voiced their intention to get even.

One protester, who refused to give his name, said: "If (the Pacific Island community) want to bring it on, they just messed with the biggest gang in Australia."

[And he also called them a 'pack of dogs']



BRIAN Hopper's face is a study in hatred.

"We don't want 'em here," the 22-year-old hollered yesterday. "We give 'em everything -- they get over here, they get free houses, cars and money and they jump the f..king queue and I'm still f..king waiting."

Mr Hopper's rant came not at a white-racist rally, but during a showdown between two of the most downtrodden groups in Australia -- Aborigines and Pacific Island immigrants...

The case has become the flashpoint for conflict between the two communities in Logan, a disadvantaged district at the end of the line from Brisbane, on the way to the glitz of the Gold Coast.

While not commenting on the alleged murder, protester Sovannah Garcia, 20, told The Australian that Islanders had formed two gangs, the Bloods and the Crips, in Beenleigh.

"They get around in gangs, we get around in tribes," she said.

"It's not just the Aborigines; there are a lot of other people out there who will get picked on."

The president of the Logan Elders association, who did not want to be named for fear of retribution, claimed Aboriginal children had been called "coons" by Islanders, and spat upon in buses.

The victim's nephew Frank Saunders claimed that Samoans were "just violent people".

"They won't mix in with the rest of Australia," he said. "They've gotta learn Australian culture."

His sister Michelle Saunders spoke of "racism between the Aborigines and Samoans".

"They're very violent, very push-overy and they work in mobs," she said. "They won't mix in. They gotta know we can't put up with that." ...

"They're bigger than our children and they do whatever they want," she said. "I tell (the youngsters), 'When you go to school and they say anything to you, you just walk away'.

"We correct our children. They can correct their children, too, because this has got to stop."
Don't you love it? Start with the white fella as the benchmark for racism, and anyone else's racism must naturally be due to downtrodden circumstance. Consistency is a virtue...

I lived near Logan for a few years and I didn't feel disadvantaged. This is the first I've heard of Islanders being downtrodden. What did we do to them?

Logan Aboriginal elder ``Uncle’’ Wayne Saunders called on Pacific Islander community leaders to speak to their people in the wake of Saturday’s attack and stop further violence.

``Until they (elders) can teach their people cultural respect, they are visitors here to our country, and if they’re going to bring violence from their country we say it’s not good enough,’’ he said.

``We’re calling for calm from our people so we’re asking them as elders of their groups to go and talk to their people and dismantle these gangs.’’



A BRAWL in a Logan park on Saturday, in which an Aboriginal man was allegedly murdered was sparked by a bashing earlier that night.

This was said by the Samoan community yesterday in their first public defence of the violence that has thrust the two minority groups into open conflict.

A Samoan woman said two of their "boys" were bashed hours before Richard Saunders died.

"It's not something that our boys would just walk up and beat him to death, it's something that they started," said the woman, who asked to be known only as Anne.
Irreconcilable differences. Game over. Back to the drawing board for the diversity ideologues to diagnose yet another botched utopia. I can hear the stomping of the integration fascists marching in. But how, when there's no white guy to blame? I'm sure they'll find a way to blame us.
