Mercy! Mercy!
most awkward scene of 2013
So Katrina has spent one whole season needing to be rescued, only to be rescued, then IMMEDIATELY get captured by someone else and need rescuing again.
OMG I DISLIKE KATRINA SO MUCH. On a show that has such fabulous characters in Abbie and Jenny, Katrina is SUCH a useless character. And we’re supposed to believe that Ichabod is in such true love with someone so inept? She’s LITERALLY been nothing but a damsel in distress her entire existence.
They fucking bring Katrina back from purgatory at Abbie's expense so she can help them win the war, and her powers end up being pretty useless just because she's a bit rusty.
Now Abbie is stuck there for no good reason while Katrina tries fails to do what she came back for. It cost so much to bring her back, and now she's even more useless in the mortal realm than she was in purgatory!!
Australia’s history of racism towards Aboriginals is absolutely disgusting.
Until the mid-60s, indigenous Australians came under the Flora And Fauna Act, which classified them as animals, not human beings. This also meant that killing an indigenous Australian meant you weren’t killing a human being, but an animal.
To this day, Australia breaks every code of the Geneva Convention when it comes to indigenous Australians and their human rights. The “public housing” that the government has given them are one-bedroom shacks with no running water, no electricity and no gas, that entire families are forced to live in. These shacks are in communities in the outback, as far away from “civilised” society as possible. Out of sight, out of mind.
Indigenous Australians that live in the city are commonly forced to live in very dangerous and derelict areas that the government gives very little funding towards. Redfern in Sydney is a highly indigenous Australian populated suburb that is rife with crime, unemployment and horrendous living conditions. The government does next to nothing to help these people, either.
Whenever riots have broken out as a result of incredibly low morale, the police and the government are very quick to point all the blame at the indigenous Australians and say that they are the cause of their own problems, rather than looking at what the actual cause is.
Unemployment rates amongst indigenous Australians is astronomical. Crime rates are astronomical. Suicide rates are extremely high within the indigenous Australian community. Death from inadequate living conditions and inadequate health care is common. Brutality towards indigenous Australians is common.
The way many indigenous Australians are forced to live is equivalent to that of what one would expect from a third-world country. Indigenous Australians are considered by the UN to be one of the most horrendously marginalised groups in the world.
And how does the government amend all of this? With a national “Sorry Day”, where white people plant a hand in some designated area of soil as a token of their white guilt, and then continue going about their white privileged day.
On top of that, white people here commonly bitch and complain about how “good” indigenous Australians have it and how “thankful” they ought to be to the white man for improving their quality of life. Meanwhile, indigenous Australians have lost almost all sense of identity and culture because of white colonisation.
What is left of Aboriginal identity and culture has been nearly completely destroyed. And most people in this disgustingly privileged country do not give a single god damn fuck.
Australia is a disgusting country when it comes to racism. I am disgusted by my own country.
This story, although sad, sounds all to familiar.
And I’ve talked to many white Australians who have smugly told me that racism was an “American problem”.
HAHAA! Liam is like ‘da fuck, who is- oh, it’s just josh.” lakjsdfl;
