Bolt: Sam Kerr ‘white bastard’ alleged incident exposes Left hypocrisy

The Sam Kerr “white bastard” allegations have proven that many on the Left are racists, despite all their Aboriginal flags and bended knees.

I thank Sam Kerr for proving me right. Many on the Left really are racists, despite all their Aboriginal flags and bended knees.

Take people like Craig Foster, the anti-racism crusader and Australian Republic Movement boss.

His extraordinary backflip on the weekend makes him an exquisite example of the many Leftists who claim racism is disgusting, but not if it’s racism against whites.

Foster at first could not deny common sense: that Kerr’s alleged abuse of a London policeman was racist.

Kerr, captain of the Australian women’s soccer team, allegedly called the officer a “stupid white bastard” after he was asked to sort out her confrontation with a taxi driver after she threw up in the back of his cab.

Kerr has now been charged with racially aggravated harassment, which seems over the top, but says she’s innocent. She reportedly denies calling the officer a “bastard”, but not a “stupid white”.

Foster had at first demanded Kerr be sacked as captain. Racism is racism. After all, calling someone a “stupid black bastard” would kill your career.

But Foster then saw himself deserted by many on the Left. The Prime Minister defended Kerr. Western Australia’s Labor premier said he stood by her.

Many other Leftists pointed out Kerr was actually of “Indian descent”, as if having one Indian grandparent absolved her of the guilt of having three Anglo ones, and gave her licence to be racist.

So on Saturday Foster apologised and said Kerr wasn’t racist at all.

“Like many, I mistakenly thought that comments that references any colour and were discriminatory, demeaning or hostile were a form of racism,” he said.

He’d now read the woke Diversity Council of Australia’s definition of racism, which redefines the true as false, saying racism was only when someone with “race-based societal power” was mean to a “racially based person”.

So it’s just as I’ve long warned: racism for such hypocrites is about the side, not the principle. You can actually be racist, as long as you abuse whites or the supposedly powerful, like maybe Jews, richer on average than other Australians.

Maybe that’s why the Left is now so anti-Jewish, too?

But Foster’s argument seems itself racist. He’s typecasting all whites as powerful, and all non whites as not.

That’s nonsense. Who had the most power and status that night in London – Kerr, the rich superstar athlete with powerful political support, or that poor bobby trying to deal with a stroppy athlete allegedly arguing over a taxi fare and her vomit?

Or take Foster’s other arguments in his woke white self-criticism.

“Those of us who aren’t from a minority background cannot possibly know how it feels to be told that we don’t belong.., to ‘go back where you came from’,” he penned.

Craig, have you really not noticed the new anti-white racism?

Whites are indeed told “we don’t belong”. They’re told that constantly in the new “welcome to country” ceremonies that treat them as strangers in their own country.

They’re indeed told to “go back to where you came from”. A recent taxpayer-funded documentary on artist Richard Bell, who identifies as Aboriginal, ended with a stream of fellow activists, including federal Indigenous Australians Minister Linda Burney, telling whites “you can go now”.

Foster also insisted a white like him “cannot experience racism” because “my right to speak is not questioned…”

What a joke. No non-white here has their right to speak questioned, but Foster is questioning the right of whites to speak on the new anti-white racism, which includes, for instance, ABC TV running a skit of Aborigines saying white people “are c…s”, US academic Dante King last month giving a lecture insisting “white people are psychopaths”, a Victorian council youth worker telling white Year 11 schoolboys they were “oppressors”, and a London play starring Game of Thrones star Kit Harrington holding two nights just for black audiences.

Other Leftists tried even more absurd ways to excuse this. Sydney Morning Herald writer Jacqueline Maley argued racism against whites wasn’t really racism because this was “not an article of hate-speech of the kind that might presage violence”.

Seriously? In the US, black violence against whites is far more common than white violence against blacks. Non-white terrorism against whites here is far more common than white terrorism against people of colour.

This is the hypocrisy that Sam Kerr has forced us to confront, but watch the Left fail the test, telling us they really do defend racism, after all. As long as it’s against people they don’t like.
