Aboriginal people are entitled to be pissed off that Australia day which is supposed to celebrate our great nation and include all of it's inhabitants is based on the arrival of British Colonisation....How can Aboriginal people be expected to celebrate the day they lost their nation...
Huh

That's because they're tinted.

If they had any respect, they'd get down on their hands and knees, say "thanks, boss", and offer up their sphincters.

If they can't even do that, remember this:

WE DON'T WANT THEM HERE.

Currently Australia day represents the arrival of the British Empire on these shores....The Aboriginal people and those Australians from nations other than England do not relate or associate themselves with this event....Why is that so hard to comprehend....Australia day should mean something to all Australian's or it means nothing!!!

What a profound idea! Never thought of that... but let's try Endless Appeasement first.. see how that goes... might cut their rate of domestic murder and violence and drug use and youth suicide if we just love them a little more...

Here you go mate....Although you have no idea what Australia day represents those that actually care about what the event represents have every right to voice their concerns about a lack of representation from the chosen date....Australia day should represent all Australian's!!!

It's the day Australians stopped being Poms - and even the Aboriginals could breathe a sigh of relief....

it means to be Australian, to celebrate contemporary
Australia and to acknowledge our history.
