They have every right to be angry. The aboriginals were not even recognised as human beings in Australia till approximately the 60's. They are some of the most gentle, beautiful, lovely people I have ever known. I consider it an honor to have met and known those I have. They value beauty and are sharing good people. They see what matters.

[@kerrysmall8764]

Well said! You seem to know a bit about Aussie history, Am I right in thinking that Australia used to belong to the Aboriginals until the Brits came in and colonised the country by dumping all our criminals there? I'm a Brit by the way but I'm no patriot. I guess I'm afflicted with what people would call white guilt. I just feel bad for what my ancestors did to these people for no reason other than greed and power.

Thé ‘Flora and Fauna’ concept was a myth - but that didn’t alter the fact that the indigenous peoples were treated like shit by the whites. I’m a little embarrassed that the scriptwriters thought it was okay to include some of the conversations they did between Pamela and the others. Cringeworthy.

Joan Ferguson helped cancel the show, people were worn out with her crap

[@josephd.2725]

Good for Prisoner producers and writers for tackling a very sensitive, emotionally charged, and important topic at a time when it wasn't easy to address. The subject of the racist treatment of the Australian Aboriginals by the European settlers is controversial and hard hitting, and is still a sensitive subject to this day. Notice how they had the show's main antagonist, Joan Ferguson, express some sympathy and understanding towards Sarah... this speaks volumes and is a powerful statement that they were trying to get across to the viewers in what appears to be efforts to help mitigate any prejudice. Prisoner always attempted to cover a whole spectrum of important social issues and "educate" and open the minds of the viewers. It was a great show.

It's not the best portrayal but for Prisoner to even go for a racism story like this with such gusto in 1986 Australia is really impressive. I find Joan's relationship with Sarah massively touching.

Why shouldnt PCBH cover racism. Its good that they have shown racism on both sides. Im surprised at the amount of comments where people are asking why PCBH are showing this type of story line. I say, why not!! It existed then and it exists now. Racism seems to be a taboo subject, like its not P.C. I love the way Sarah was introduced to the programme, crash bang wallop. Havent had a character create such an immediate impact as this for ages. Love Joans reaction to her too.

[@amykjorlien326]

Lesley Thwaites I agree completely!! PCBH has covered so many topics many of which were then considered (and still are) taboo.

LittleMissJmoo Moo Oh, we can handle it. Trouble is that I’m not sure that was the right way to go about it. I taught aboriginal kids ten years before these episodes were made, and believe me - if people thought the way those scriptwriters wrote, then they didn’t show it.

This material was probably edgy in Australia, even at that time. Australia hadn't even formally apologised to the stolen generation. That didn't happen for many years after this.

[@lampshade8818]

I don't know- I think the Prisoner writers were trying to be ironic about the Aboriginies being the original Australians ...whilst also being completely blatant about how the Australians act towards them and how they are intolerant towards each other... largely to do with completely differing upbringings in their own societies. I personally see that as a problem, because of the refusal to integrate. But that will never happen- in any two completely different societies (I refuse to use the demeaning description of 'culture'), or civilisations, coz the one huge difference that sticks out like a sore thumb is the word 'civilised', and, sadly, the war is always to do with outdated customs that should have died a death many centuries ago, up against current civilisation. Unfortunately, a person in today's world cannot explain current living to a person hundreds of years ago. They still believe in hell to anyone that doesn't believe in their ficticious god for goodness sake...

[@agemoth]

Lamp Shade God will still be utterly real for infinity just as He was ever real before.. And a lot of people do bad things in His name which I don't agree with.. I just can't stand by and watch somebody flippantly call Our Saviour fictitious..

[@lampshade8818]

I believe in love, truth, being gratious, being polite, kindness, generosity for no reward, never being responsible for the death of another living being, respect, and I don't stand for arrogance or hatred towards others that do not agree with you. Live good, and never, never, never give hate to someone who doesn't believe in worshipping whatever it is you worship if they simply believe in the things I just mentioned above. Not everyone needs a belief in 'God'. I have always believed that to be a great person, you just believe in yourself, and try hard to every day. Often I feel low- but I never sway from wanting to be the best I can and good. That is a stay. It is wrong to condemn someone who doesn't agree with your belief in this.

[@teejay6893]

Without sounding harsh, the term “Aborigines” is no longer accepted. I am of Aboriginal descent and the issues in Australia are far deeper than just cultural differences. It is a build up of an ingrained “colonial” mentality that has continued for almost 230 years. Hearing Spider using the word “Abos” makes me cringe but I still ❤️ Prisoner

I'm really glad that they showed this kind of racism- coz it's extremely rare to see any kind of TV programme or documentary or anything that displays the appalling proof that other nationalities are racist towards us- us meaning white- and that can be Australian, English, American, Scottish etc etc etc. But, oh no- only people of dark skin can suffer the assault of racism. Well, that is absolutely not true 100%. I first witnessed racism way back when I was about 9 or 10 years old. Me and my family lived on a street in England where lots of Pakistanis and Bangaledeshis moved in. They were all related to each other (several generations of the same family bought houses next door to each other) and used to shout racist abuse at us in the street- they even got their children involved- children that me and my sister used to regard as 'friends' coz we all used to play out in the street together after school. These kids obviously were brainwashed by their own parents to be poisonous towards us, and WE didn't understand- we were just kids!! But the things they said....'white ice cream' was one of the most tame insults that the youngest of their families used to shout at us.

[@suzieshackles]

You are fucking lying and it didn't happen! It's always racist white people who invent stories of facing 'racism' from ethnic minorities. You are only fabricating the story to strengthen your racial hatred towards ethnic minorities. When ethnic minorities speak out against racism and white supremacy, you hate it because you know it takes away your power to divide and rule. That woman is not from a different nationality as you implied, she is an indigenous Australian otherwise known as an aborigine. Get your facts right. The real Australians are black. This Aboriginie woman is hurling abuse out of anger. The anger stems from the fact White people stole her land, took away her rights, massacred her own people and denied her privileges. Those white ladies are hurling abuse out of ignorance and are using their white supremacy status to make her feel threatened. Neither what they are doing is right, but I can understand why the Aboriginie woman is angry.

[@DistantCousin]

I think her hair was supposed to have been hacked at with scissors by the women, but it was not shown properly in the scenes. Bit of a cop out!!

[@Redsleather]

[@darrendunn134]

[@butchdinglespigs]

[@joedaley3054]

[@joedaley3054]

[@Agnethatheredhairkid]

@ Problembeing: 'But' seems to be used as a substitute for 'though'. It's a dialect thing.

[@karennicholls8532]

Or 'however'.

[@teasdaleeden]

Why is spider soooo racist???

[@matthewplace7329]

She is the last who should be... shes a ranga!! As cartoon says.. they have no souls

[@user-rl1nv1xp1y]

Stupid question, whitey.

[@joylapine9004]

Why is any Aussie so racist? Look at the Americans standing on stolen land and having the nerve to be racist.

[@user-rl1nv1xp1y]

@@joylapine9004 People like you will always justify hatred towards white people. You're just pissing in the wind, lady. Nothing meaningful about your whining. Other races have conquered lands and had slaves too...but that will always be ignored.

Loving Sarah West

[@kop1986]

3 minutes 40 seconds recap 😒

[@hannahshenas8705]

The only person who knows about first aide stuffs in this show is Joan. ;)))))

[@musicisdabest671]

I like wendy/trisha :D

[@nevermore380]

Reading these comments is so interesting. Some people are so uncomfortable with race and racism EVER being talked about and think racism will just stop if we just don't talk about it. When, in fact, that is the case. There is a lot of hurt and pain that people of colour have endured as a result of very recent historical injustices and we can't just act like everything is equal now so that means people of colour have no right to complain. You're delusional if you think that. Loving this Sarah West storyline personally.

[@nevermore380]

*when in fact that is NOT the case

[@nevermore380]

+ToTo Coelo "colour blindness" is really an outdated, and in some ways racist way to go about life. it's great to acknowledge and celebrate our differences and recognise white privilege if you are white. I say all this with due respect (I don't hate you or want to get into a heated argument on KZbin on a show we both love obviously. I think we can both express our opinions and agree to disagree :-). )

[@nevermore380]

+ToTo Coelo Cops murder innocent black people all the damn time and racial profile them and treat them like garbage. White people are not treated like that by the police. that is white privilege. Colonialism had devastating effects on people of color. White people, by and large, benefitted from European colonialism. the effects of colonialism, slavery, destruction of indigenous people's lives and culture through rape and murder by white oppressors is very much an issue because these events have side effects that are still present to this day. white privilege is very real. God...probably not.

[@LogansWarning]

Everything is equal. They are not owed a thing, and they need to make their own way in life just like everyone else. What are you one of those self-loathing white liberals?

[@nevermore380]

LogansWarning everything is not equal unfortunately and never has been. It's delusional to think otherwise.

[@giovanni1965]
