Bob and Doug McKenzie in Great White North
In the video Great White North, Bob and Doug McKenzie are two of hilarious Canadian comedians who created “Great White North”, a program which was included on SCTV – second city television for the show’s most liked season when it braodcast by CBC Television in in the early 80s. Bob McKenzie is created by the funny Rick Moranis and Doug McKenzie is acted by the comedian Dave Thomas. The sketch was born originally as an idea to both please and make fun of legal Canadian content rules, the duo transformed into a pop culture phenomenon in both Canada and the States. The characters later became the focus of a huge comedy album, The Great White North, in 1981.
Political and historical rap about racism in Canada! Lyrics: MikeAll- Beat: Royce Birth
Eh I love Canada indeed I’m so Canadian maple syrups what I bleed/
But Canada ain’t all sweet
VERSE 1:
The Great White North drained the life force/
Of millions of human rights ignored/
European recourse for building this nation/
Appropriation enslavement exploitation/
Foundation’s allegedly English and French/
But that ignores Canada’s first residents/
Historical documents fictitious twisted/
How Chris discover *ish nations been existed/
But got stripped quick of land and all props/
Wars fought biologically cloths with Smallpox/
Populations dropped survivors enslaved/
Biased treaties made which Whites would renege/
To deculturate Native customs banned/
Residential schools left youth roots curtained/
Moved to reserve lands while Whites made reservation/
Of better habitation Natives placed in lesser station/
Observe isolation intoxication on First’s earths/
It’s apparently clear reserves mirror ghetto turfs/
Aboriginal worth was abhorred as minimal/
This is Canada’s historical core and it’s pitiful
CHORUS 2x:
The flag’s tainted with racist imagery/
Ivory equals white supremacy/
Red’s for blood shed by minorities/
If you disagree do your history
VERSE 2:
CEh ain’t like States it’s a slave’s haven (kiss teeth sound)/
Till 1834 Blacks faced enslavement/
After liberation still kept subordinate/
Through schools that segregate curriculum miseducates/
Texts circulate info on A.G. Bell’s invention/
Elijah McCoy’s lubricating cup’s not mentioned/
Ask Viola Desmond if Blacks let in front row/
Dumped folks in ghetto to settle for bum role/
Speaking of crumb holes evil tactics killed/
Halifax’s Black village Africville hacked to nil/
The facts is real their home was made into a ghetto/
Invading railroad waste zone no H2O/
TO was cool yeah cold like wind chill/
Entertainment face painted insult called minstrel/
White skin cells made man Blacks were boys no fetal/
Not a person but a Black thing Negro
CHORUS 2x:
VERSE 3:
Caucasians hold top station and dropped Asians/
To bottom placement brought to this nation for job enslavement/
The railroads connect cause of Chinese immigrants/
Whose work was highly threatening and were denied benefits/
When they tried get residence kept back with head tax/
Their women weren’t welcome so birth rates be left flat/
War xenophobia sealed Japanese fate/
They were despised as spies and enemies of the State/
War measures activated human rights violated/
Property funds freedom confiscated/
Incarcerated in camps for internment/
They even paid for captivity like tenants and rent/
These events don’t fit CEh’s distinguished image/
One thing’s clear it’s only fair when your skin is/
These events don’t fit CEh’s distinguished image/
One thing’s clear it’s only fair when your skin is
CHORUS 2x:
