ABC Black Comedy: Therapist's First Aboriginal Client

[@JM8328]

"aaand did you tell them what's up?"

[@mummab7481]

We all bleed the same.. and I know it's a comedy skit but sadly there is so much racism and a lack of connection between different cultures.. everyone deserves love and respect 🙏 there's to much hate..

[@maviswharawhara7572]

Only black fella doin my head in 🤣😂😂🖤💛❤

[@outwestcreatives127]

‘Where are you from..from..” 👀

[@kayjose1673]

When they ask you where your from, they are asking why your skin isn't white

[@Tigerland1962]

I am offended by your comments ,,,, they are racist ..

[@mditt7]

I was a high school teacher and I always used to ask kids of colour "Are you indigenous?" If they said yeah then I would ask "do you know where your people are from?" Then I would ask "do you know the name of the tribe?" I was sincerely interested to see if they were learning about their own culture and I was interested in indigenous culture too. Still am. . The kids were always good about it and always answered me if they could.

[@Ocker3]

@@mditt7 I think that's different to what she was asked, they likely assumed she was foreign, not First Nations. Either that, or she thought it was a bit intrusive for a first meeting. Especially if they weren't offering the same kind of information.

[@thecountysfinest]

I'm white an people ask me where I'm from all the time, explain that one? I'll give you a hint there's a correct anwser

[@cnj67]

Not from Australia myself, here but can't help wondering: I know "Where are you from" is an offensive question, assuming people of other than the most typical colour in a country must be foreigners. But, in Australia, if anyone should ask that question, (I know, they shouldn't but say, IF) shouldn't it be people of aboriginal descent asking everyone else? I mean, okay, I heard that aboriginals supposedly took over/conquered the land from someone else 40.000 years ago or something, but then they have been there for about 39.600 years before everyone else started arriving, in comparison quite recently? So the answer would be "From here. Where are YOU from-from?" And the follow-up question would be "What kind of crime runs in your family?" assuming that if they are not of aboriginal descent, you must have been sent to Australia as punishment for some crime. (And I know, the crime was often "being very poor in England", but if we are asking unreasonable questions, let's just get on with it).

And….did you tell them what’s up? 😂

[@God-Emperor_Elizabeth_the_2nd]

Lmfao “whats up. My nigga”

[@idkyet4435]

😂😂😂As a black person I can say this is funny and true

[@Tigerland1962]

I think the I am offended by anything woke culture has destroyed society

[@Ocker3]

As a Caucasian born in Australia I wish I could claim this kind of thing doesn't happen, but then I've met a lot of white Australians, so I can't. The therapist being so clueless is similar to what I have heard whitefellas say when talking about First Nations peoples. Far too true 😅

[@heathspencer188]

How is this sketch going over everyone's head!?

[@Ocker3]

They've not seen this kind of thing happen, or just didn't realise/ignored it. But it does :(

[@HiNickCares]

Was it Jackie Chan?

[@drewpro3525]

So true it's not funny

[@jakemurphy8601]

This is hilarious 🖤💛❤️

[@trevorclausen2994]

That is typical white fella attitude, no bullshit.

[@I14Realok]

😂

[@raevon6845]

More of this, ✌🏽greatly executed. Yes it’s sadly very true that this happens in a daily basis.

[@Tigerland1962]

I am offended by your comment >>

[@anthovision7048]

She is so beautiful 👸🏽❤️👀

[@maviswharawhara7572]

Wassup ma Nigga.. 🤣😂😂 lucky it's a comedy show. Otherwise I wudda said are you dying or is that your natural colour?

[@BronzeSista]

Get a new therapist, this happens in real life.

[@pauljordan4452]

My old therapist worked with indigenous people and she was never this insensitive. I get it's a satire though.

[@BronzeSista]

But its different when you're a Black fella. They are seen differently than Indigenous peoples. They are Indigenous too, but Black, and even though some are mixed with the white people. They still refer to themselves as Aboriginal people. I don't think Indigenous people who live on the reservations in America would have white therapists. I think its a bad idea. I am a Black American, I had a white therapist it was not a good idea. I worked for a Black therapist. She was more understanding of rhe Black and minority communities.

[@Ocker3]

@@BronzeSista good point, we need more First Nations peoples in all levels of Australian society so this kind of thing happens less and less

[@cnj67]

@@pauljordan4452 Nice that someone was a therapist and not this insensitive. But you can hear from reactions that some people have really experienced this. And also, even if she wasn't *this* offensive, there is probably a good deal of micro aggressions that she hasn't recognized for what they are. I myself has only bit by bit discovered some of the typical micro aggressions that some groups are exposed to. And as a women, there are some similar experiences where a man might say that "Don't you think he was just paying you a compliment?" and we just know .... "[sigh] No."

[@cnj67]

Oh ... oh ... that's funny in a really sad way.

[@MrBamaga]

I can't see the humour in this. Is it meant to be the way I'm interpreting this??

[@chrisonion3127]

You can't just say "irony" 3 times and feel like you're a smart person for it. I hope that's not what you're doing.

Black comedy, it's in The name.

[@seaworldsocialartslecturer7489]

My aboriginal friend and I applied for the same station hand job at the government job agency, of coarse my friend got the job. Then some aboriginal help group paid for his ticket to get there bought him a new swag, dryasabone , acubra hat and gave him $500 which he bought an ounce of weed to go away with. He was there 5 days decided wasn't for him. Kept all his free shit.it's OKto be white but easier to be black ;(

[@lemintonhat]

Are you being ironic? Or do you actually believe what you have just written?

@Scrambo 1 thought he was at the time but turns out no. Same guy picked me and another friend up in a stolen hj monaro, we we're caught ,locked up, he was out in 30 mins with an aboriginal lawyer my white friend and I were in the cells 5 hour's before we we're bailed. Equality hey ??? We're is it ??

[@seaworldsocialartslecturer7489]

@Scrambo 1 vague claim of a friend ??? Was my friend when I was a teenager,as I matured and realized he was asshole not friend ;) I think you're comment's are vague. Nothing underhanded in the FACTS you read either

[@StephenJansen]

Well... Can't have any feelings getting hurt. Better segregate everyone.

[@Tigerland1962]

Well said agree , modern woke society wakes up everyday waiting and wanting to be offended just so they can moan to their race equality council..

[@chrisonion3127]

Thank you, thank you, thank you for taking the initiative to put out a piece showcases the work of writers with mental deficiencies. It's a great stride forward for equality.
