Abolish Australia Day. ‘Change the Date’ doesn’t change the nation. It’s just another tokenistic gesture, a part of so called ‘Australia’s’ lazy arse dialogue concerning Blackfullas. Has no real connection with Blackfullas lives or realities.
I speak for myself here. I speak on no one’s behalf but my own. I’m not a leader. I’m not a politician. I don’t have to kiss arse. I don’t believe in patriotism and these old arse colonial traditions and celebrations are designed for whiteness and the celebration of it.
What do you even do on this day, that you don’t any other time? Drink? You alcoholics drink all the time. It’s a celebration? Of what? What’s to celebrate? Rape? Theft? Genocide? Honestly, what do you want me to do? Shut the fuck up and be grateful?
Thank for trying to take my culture, my identity. Thank you for taking babies from mothers. Deadly. Thank you to your great great great great great grand, whatever-the-fuck for shooting mine and claiming their land. It’s lovely reaping fuck all of the benefits of it.
Oh but I do, don’t I? I’m a lazy black cunt that gets free shit from the government. Tax payers hard earned cash. Hand outs galore. Yay! I already know what you think. What you’re going to say. Don’t @ me with that shit. Don’t bother commenting and dm-ing me I don’t read the shit
This stupid argument ‘for’, is irrelevant. Pales in comparison to the fight for justice, sovereignty, our people and our land. You’re going to be on the wrong side of history anyway. Your kids and your kids-kids, are going to look at you with shame... Australia Day is clown shit.
