i couldn't care less Ron T said you were all interested in the racial
debate but i can see now why he was anxious to bring someone who objected
to the word abo in here

you are right 
however it would be even more interesting to see Ron T wander into redfern
and yelling out Abo and then try and excuse himself by saying it is a
shortened version of aboriginal  ROFL

now i have got used to seeing words that people use everyday on my screen
it is i have to admit a refreshingly honest echo and such honest racist
redneck blatancy is better than the sickening denial that australia is not
a racist country. Australia if full of racists black, white, yellow and
brindle.
Words like abo, nigger, and chink are there to fuel the hatred and violence.

Two wogs went into Hindley Street in Adelaide and thought they would be
funny and yell out Chink and had their brains blown.
We have a group called National Action (a supposed equivalent to the klu
klux clan) the only action they see is to wave placards around outside of
schools to educate our kids to be racists. 
My main objection to the word abo is that my children have been hurt by
it's use physically and emotionally and now it is my grandchildren are
coming home telling me they hate that word.
The only consulation is that after they get over the initial shock of being
ganged up on for being an abo they learn to become so tough as in the case
of my eight year old grandson that even the Grade 7's won't take him on.
Yes he has received a good education at school he has learnt physical
violence and to call white people, dogs.

ps
before you jump up and down on my mistake of brains blown, i will correct
it to brains blown out with a gun, at least i have the brains to
acknowledge that words like abo, nigger and chink are fighting words and
not a hypocrite to try and pass it off as merely not being politically
correct.
The words that are acceptable to aboriginal people are Koorie and down
south, nunga, not that anyone here would give a shit because it is easy to
say abo and boong behind a screen but i doubt whether anyone here has ever
had the guts to say it in an aboriginal's face.
