(composite video) – Greg Inglis wasn’t Joey Johns’s only target….. Timana Tahu has shed more light on his decision to walk out on the NSW side, saying he took the drastic action in the best interests of his children….. And he alleged his former teammate Andrew Johns had directed racist comments at more than one Queensland player. While it was initially thought Maroons centre Greg Inglis was the target of Johns’s racial slurs, last night there were allegations winger Israel Folau was also the subject of abuse….. And Johns allegedly also directed abuse at indigenous stars Sam Thaiday and Johnathan Thurston. The escalation in the scandal came as Sydney Swans indigenous player Adam Goodes claimed racism still occurred in AFL and he had been subject to the same abuse as Johns used towards Inglis. “It still happens and that’s the truth,” Goodes said….. www.theaustralian.com.au Race row deepens around Johns – Andrew Johns has been accused of using terms such as “nigger” and “monkey” to describe Indigenous rugby league players in the latest claims of racism against the besieged former league star….. www.abc.net.au Dr Calma, a director on the board of Reconciliation Australia, said the incident had tarnished the National Rugby League’s (NRL) efforts to promote reconciliation in sport. “I hope that this issue within the ranks of rugby league has made people realise how one off-the-cuff remark can be extremely hurtful to other individuals and have a major impact on the …

I feel so angry when I see something like this too, but you can’t make a generalisation about all white Aussies being racist, that’s just racist in itself. We DO NOT hate Maoris, Indians, OR Black People, or in fact any race. Education takes time, so please don’t blame this racism on the entire White Aussie group, cause it’s not all of us. I know things like this are really upsetting, but you don’t really think that all of us are like that, do you?
lol australia is just giving themselves a bad name…jeeez is it just me or do they hate everyone?Indians ….maoris…. black people….

Fucking Phil Gould you dinosaur! There’s is no excuse, I don’t care what bubble you live in, everyone knows you can’t go around talking like that and if you still are in the this day and age then you’re a racist.
by Phi Goud saying that he didn’t thin JOhns is a racist, is completely a racist thing to say. Phil should admit that he obviously fosters racism because of his deliberate reluctance to condone silence on racism. Shame on him.
Timana is one hot guy, but more importantly he is an excellent role model, he won’t stand for bigotry and racism in any form. Fantastic work!! White people and I mean all white people who haven’t addressed their own racist attitudes need to do so more and more, Tim Wise is an excellent speaker on this topic.
OK I’m a proud light skinned Aboriginal Australian, i get called a white c and a white bastard from my own people, but i have strong indigenous blood, so why is it OK that i am forced to cope with these remarks if being called these names in reverse is all good when its from a racist dark skin but a light skin person makes a statement of equal attrition and are destroyed for it.
its about time now that people start realizing that calling a person with a certain skin tone racist is racist as well
@ddchalmers
From what i hear.
Indegenous Australians are just as racist.
Ok, so we have someone who’s deliberately used the n-word a couple of times and people say he is not a racist?
@markeymonk
What do kiwis have to do with Australia?

@markeymonk
Are you illiterate?
That made no sense.
Typical media.
Yes it was wrong what he said.
But the media are only out to destroy this man.
Racism is embedded in all parts of society.
You dont see the news doing follow up storys about, racism in sport, racism in society, the enviroments in which these state of minds that deem these comments as ‘acceptable’ come from.
It sickens me that they are not out to educate the audience on these issues they are more focused on cutting John’s head off.
Like i said typical media
John says he made “inappropriate and offensive” comments. um, no, they were RACIST. That’s the bottom line.
@89lovely89 how precious are these overpaid sissy boys, grow some balls
There is a permissive kulcha in (white) Australia as far as racism is concerned, @teagan684 + wat Kurt Gidley said @6.28+ kinda proves tat white Auzzies R livin in a lil cloud all on their own as far as their hypocrisy is concerned + wid no regard as to how it offends others. Wat is worse it tat dey will accept Indians but still spit on indigenous Australians, uhh
I can’t believe how everyone is painting Johns as the victim.
Tahu can sign for the Broncos next year if he likes, we’d love to have you mate.
I don’t blame Tahu for walking out! If my mentor and life long friend was passionated about footy and described a player from my arch rival team as ‘white’ i’d walk out on a history making game in the highest level of footy in Australia too!
I think its fucked up that people are outraged about this and he might lose his job! whats the difference between this and calling someone a ranga or calling Johns barge ass?? racism (in this case) is a joke! grow up world…
geez people really need to lighten up johns is a funny cunt he is a legend of the game these porch monkeys need to harden up that tamana tahu needs to be sacked from origin what a pussy not playing for his state andrew johns is allways the scapegoat for bullshit
too sook is just that ,childish shit….it was ok when kiwi stuck there finger up our ass when playing….kiwi should know better also…ozzies are known for cracking jokes..grow up the lot of you….stick an stones hurt mature adults no only childish kids hurt from it.
