Australia Day - with Ken Oathcarn [RAP NEWS 11]

Australia Day. It's a day of high jinx, high revelry and high people in Australia; a day when a large and vocal majority come together to "celebrate what's great" about this cuntry. But what is the meaning of all this fanfare? What is the true origin of this passionately marked day of facepaint and binge drinking? Is everyone in Australia so keen on this particular anniversary? To get to bottom of these questions, and more, join your amiable host Robert Foster as he conducts a high-octane, high-frequency satellite link-up with a representative of the Mainstream Australian media: multi-Logie award-winning broadcaster, entertainer, emu-wrangler and true-blue Aussie, Kenneth Oathcarn. WARNING: contains adult Australian vernacular - viewer discretion is strongly advised.

Juice Rap News: written and created by Giordano Nanni and Hugo Farrant. Performed by Hugo Farrant (Robert Foster) & Giordano Nanni (Ken Oathcarn), in a back-yard studio in suburban Melbourne - on the lands of the Wurundjeri people.

Pretty sure that slaughtering ethnic groups and stealing their land is pretty fucking terrible, sunshine. "Better technology" does not mean that nations are entitled to colonise other lands, that's some manifest destiny bullshit.

[SscubaStevee]

Are you saying you wouldn't care if aliens came and conquered us because they would have 'better technology'?

[Baldur Freya]

Well i would like to say my native Celtic lands where taken from my people by ruthless Latin empire my redheaded brethren chased to northern Scotland, and Ireland where the IRA still fights British occupation.

[Andrew Binder]

Yall gotta check out OLD MAN SAXON - OFF MY MIND. its crazy af

[MegaMeh101]

lol I thought his name was ken oathcunt

[liamjfriel]

Aliens are not the same species as humans.

[bulletprooth]

If they gave us a ton of money and government support more so than for the aliens them self, then yeah.. probably. I mean if the alien says something about me, it's racist but If I say something about the alien it's heroism.

[MooseCannon]

Then how come natural medicine can cure cancer and big pharma can't? lol

[Cole Stellvertreter]

Boo fucking hoo indeed, those abbos weren't even doing anything for hundreds to thousands of years and they actually get a chance for proper education when the British started colonizing. They even got better medical care instead of speaking to the head tribal wizard for healing. Lefties are scum

[thenemesiswho]

If humans were only leaving Africa 60 - 120, 000 years ago I find it hard to understand where you get this 300, 000 years figure

[Heart Soul]

If you speak to an elder, they will tell you that they came to this land in the time before time. Recent mitochondrial DNA testing on homo sapien skeletons found in this land indicates that the koori folk descended from two distinct lineages... 300,000 years ago.

So face the facts, you fuckin' racist cats,

Think before you attack, because it's clear Adam was black.

[John Smith]

Conquering the savages has been what humanity has been doing since the beginning of time. If you want to keep crying about it then go and populate Antarctica
