leaving aside the villification issue and without condoning what johns said for a moment an obvious question is "how stupid is Johns?"
I have often heard the term black c...t used in pub conversations(some times offensively,some times with no ill will at all) but how many times have you heard it with an aboriginal mate sitting at the table.I was having a beer with the legendary SOO one timer Phil Dukes brother the other night who is a great fella and the thought of saying something like that in his presence would be ridiculous.i wouldnt have a clue what his reaction would be but why would anyone contemplate saying it in a mixed race environment among friends at all.the stupidity of the act is a crime in itself particularly in a professional sporting environment.
ill let you blokes decide the morals of the situation but he should be charged with a grade 5 idiot offence.
