Ah so my mother’s brain tumour that killed her was caused by racism and she was white. So if cancer is caused by racism and cancer numbers continue to rise we must all be living in a very racist World then??!!

so how are we supposed to "Close the Gap" between Indigenous and non-indigenous people healthwise if it's racism that causes illnesses? That could have been used in The Voice campaign perhaps?! People are sick not because of how they treat their own body, but because of how others treat them socially?

And the people who will BELIEVE this rubbish are just as bad as the ones who push it. I don’t like this world any more.

It just takes 3 generations to change history. One to decide to change it and teach it wrong to generation two, the second generation accept the lie without free speech - which is dangerous because it may contain actual truth - and then teach it wrong to the third generation - who don’t know that its a lie, and accept what they’ve been taught, and “voila” - history will be rewritten.

We are currently seeing generation two being taught the lie and those who speak the actual truth prosecuted by law. It’s the next generation that I am concerned for.

It wouldn’t be surprising if someone studying medicine at Harvard Columbia Sydney Uni might reference third episode in an exam or even get a post graduate research grant to search for clusters of racism based cancers . Something for an epidemiologist to do while waiting to the next pandemic so that they can become relevant again

I am 80 years old ,I think I have still got all my marbles but in my experience television is so unbelievably bloody awful of late that I desist on seven ,nine ,ten and of course two not insulting my intelligence by tuning in to any of them . Even the advertising is an insult to your intelligence , eg the dick head is always a white male and the saviour of the day normally a smirking black female on a motorbike or an asian man wisely saving the day . Sky Channel has so far not spoiled my day.

The heroine in most movie thrillers is a skinny, young female who flattens a whole bunch of crooks twice her size! The captain of sci-fi space ships is also a young, sometimes black female who barks orders at a crew of tough guys on the hunt for aliens. Will they show us movies next where the captain is a drag queen?

Ha ha! I’ve watched that show and yes it’s seriously dreadful. You should see the covid episodes. They go full covid mania and there’s lots of death, dying, panicking and crying. They should have added vomiting 🤮 in there somewhere for effect. They may have because I stopped watching it for some unknown reason 🤔 but I do remember commenting on their facebook page. I may have been in lockup/lockdown at the time. 😂

That really is funny! However, there would be some who actually believe that stupidity - look out for future diagnoses. You have brought outso well, the idiocy of our society today James
