No mate just sick of honkeys like you

What's with all this racial stereotyping? Yes - we may be Pakeha, Maori, Chinese, Indian, etc. Yes - we may identify with a particular group. However, we are all individuals and should be viewed as such. Our beliefs, values, and achievements vary from person to person. I've been lucky enough to travel around the world, and I have met, and had good times with, people of different races and religions. I judge people based on their merits, not their language, culture, or colour. Judging others because of their racial background, indicates that you live in a self-imposed box; too ignorant or scared, to get out there and find out the truth.

Maori, Pakeha, Chinese - we are all Kiwi...

There's a whole lot more to this....would anyone object to Hone doing Paris(in one day!) with his wife if he'd planned for it after his job in Brussels was done? Why does he have to "sneak" or "go awol" Surely he would have been granted one days leave to visit apparently the romantic capital of the world before he returned.....or would he?
Why did Buddy Mikaere feel the need to ask who paid for Hilda? Whose interests is he representing- because he's employed by quite a few commercial developers to negotiate with Maori and is a budding Labour party supporter- or was it a personal bit of nastiness that attests to a very poor pre-existing relationship with Hone...and similarly having got a nasty, hurt response from Hone why did Buddy flick it on to National Radio? Hone is delicious fodder for the media and for the most part their response has been patronising,gullible and sadly predictable.
Comparisons with Rodney Hide's behaviour are totally bereft- having danced his way through the coalition so far he has proved to be much less nimble than he would like to think he is- his fulsome apology is yet another self -serving performance which leaves me gagging. If Hone Harawira apologises it will be genuine, difficult and sad and ultimately will precede his resignation.

Gee Buddy .....Interestingly it was Hone's Buddy who framed his question to Hone in part in terms of "mofo's" -check the Sunday Star Times report.
If Hone harbours resentment towards old whitey then it would seem that old whitey still wants to reserve the gay Paree experience and other European colonizer booty for himself - tonight on Close Up Deborah Coddington was the latest in a series of whitey commentators to imply that Hone shouldn't want the gay Paree experience because he can't be grateful to whitey for creating and preserving it-let alone understand it.
I abhor the word and Buddy invited a response in kind by using it first in this exchange.

The sooner NZ gets over the race issues the better. We need to all become New Zealanders. This Maori race card is just BS. An excuse for non performance. The bizarre thing is that all these so called Maoris are not full blooded they are only part Maori so really when it boils down to it they aren't Maori. So how the hell can a 30% blooded Maori demand money and compensation and play the oh I am so hard done by routine. Just more BS.I think Hone is a good representation of the majority of prison inmates. That is: Maori's that lie steal and further their own greed by rape robbing and pilaging all they can. It seems odd that Hone accuses New Zealanders of this when it seems to me that it's his Bro's that are doing more of it in our times. Would his energy be better focussed on his own Brown Mofo's? Rather than living in the past.

I think it is a much larger problem than what has been seen over the last week. We have a small group of Maori that can't be bothered getting off their arses and doing an honest days work. They would rather try for as many hand outs as possible so they can do as little as possible. Take take take is all that they seem to be good at. The ones that I know that have made something for themselves are embarrassed by the carry on of these morons and wish they weren't sharing the same be it a percentage of Maori blood. Rather damning on Maori culture when your so called own kind doesn't want anything to do with their background.
I know I am sick of it and am almost at the point that I am sure most of us are, ready to stick one finger up in the air to Maori and everything that is Maori and tell them to go take a flying leap. No more Maori TV programmes , BS blessings, Krapahaka and All Black HAKA. No embarrasing primitive carry on that we have had to endure for so long. We are in 2009 not 1709, we are (well most of us) civilised and are over the native ways. Next they will be wanting to eat humans again, just because it was there fore fathers customery right. No more Maori BS, end of story. We are over it already.

To me anake.
Yes you are right I do only relate to one type of person. The type that works hard, intergrates with society and does what they can to further and better society. A person whom does not suffer from greed and does not steal or use violence for their own gain. This is not based on race at all but I find that there are very few Maori that meet this criterea and the crime and prison stat's prove this. As I said the Maori friends I have are embarassed by the carry on of the minority activists like this tosser Hone and hate the fact that Maori seem to take the easy path to get what they want.
For a long time we have needed to become unified. One country, one people. After all there is no such thing as a full blooded Maori! So all Maori have ancestors whom are guilty of what the so called Maori activists are moaning about. So when it boils down to it this is a mute point. It doesn't wash as I said there are no true blooded Maori.
Most of my ancestors bought wealth and knowledge into this country. I am sure the European side of YOUR family did as well. Where would your so called people be with out this? Still running around in grass skirts killing and eating each other. Would you enjoy this type of life style?
I am sure you have a television, I know you have a computer, phone, car, roof over your head? All invented by the white man. All Maori seem to be ok using these white man inventions. Yet they seem unable to intergrate and live with the very people who made all of this possible for them.
I personally think that we need to put a stop to all of this racial disharmony and take a new line. We need to become New Zealanders, not European New Zealanders, Asian New Zealanders, Pacific Island New Zealanders, and Maori. Just New Zelanders. On the election forms, the census forms the box to tick needs to be either New Zealander or immigrant that does not have residency. We need to become proud of who we are, our mix of cultures, and our achievements that make us the country we are NOW.
Forget blameing your problems on the past, we are not responsible for my or when boils down to it YOUR ancestors and what they did to the inhabitants of the country in the past. (Remember Maori wheren't the first here so why do they think it is theirs). If the so called Maori have an issue with the things that happened in the distant past perhaps they should take it up with the English as they have more responsibilty than the current citizens of New Zealand remember this also includes you as you are not a full blooded Maori either I am sure.
If Maori want to continue down this path of racism and hate then the old saying will surely come true. What you get out is equivalent to how much you put in. If you continue to fight the system and the majority then the system and majority will fight against you. If you continue the racist attacks against the majority the majority will fire it straight back. The unfortunate thing is that it will not get us anywhere. Would you not prefer to be an embrassment to society or start achieving like the rest of us. Wouldn't you like to feel pride that you have earnt the money that feeds your kids and not the guilt knowing that the money you have has come from robbing some poor hard working sole because they have more than you and the dole isn't paying enough for you and your family to survive on? It is about time Maori stepped up to the plate and took some responsibilty and stopped being the poor old victim. Maori have the same opportunity as everyone else it seems that the problem is with their mind set. They have been bought up as the victim and will due to this, live a life as a victim. Seems strange when you get the likes of the refugees who come here with nothing yet achieve so much with a little bit of effort and hard work. Probably the same amount of effort and hard work that the Maori activists put into their racist plite that is slowing sending this country into racial disharmony. We should embrase all the different cultures we have here now, mix it all together and become a proud multicultural society that doesn't dwell on the past but eyes up the future and all the good things we can get out of it. We can treat all colour and creed (yes including Maori) as one, and as an equal, whom all have the same opportunities and potential. I am not saying we need to get rid of the cultures as I like a lot of people enjoy the different shows that are put on by the Maori's, Pacific Island nations, te Asians etc and the different things they bring to our society. It makes us what we are today. I don't however like being forced into or having culture rammed down my throat as has happened with Maoridom. It needs to be an equal balance. When we get the balance right and start looking at each other as equals then New Zealand will be once again a great place. A far better prospect than a number of countries that are at war over race at the moment.
So Me Anake when you are over being a victim and and finally figure out there is more to life than looking in the past for opportunities to get more hand outs. When you figure out that you too have the same opportunities as everyone else and can achieve as much as everyone else proved by my Maori friends. You may finally reap the rewards of your efforts and feel a part of a modern go ahead society that the rest of us NEW ZEALANDERS are aiming for. Are you a victim or are you too over it already?
Oh and by the way, I would not like to use abusive language, I have no need I can convey my thoughts with out the need for foul language. Something Hone should try. Certainly a sign of his upbringing or should I say dragging up! Why would I want to lower myself to his level?

Me Anake, yes the PART Maori where oppressed more than thirty years ago as where women prior to that with regards to voting, New Zealanders where leaders when it came to changing that, being Gay was also illegal not so many years ago. I am sure all of the above felt oppressed and victims. Who from the above list still play the victim card?
Despite the fact that within the last few years PART Maori have had more given back to them in Land, money and rights than ever before. I think perhaps that New Zealanders should start playing the victim role as our hard earned cash is being used for all these repayments for OUR (yes yours as well) forefathers wrong doings. As I said before, we all have equal opportunities to succeed and do well. The problem is because the PART Maori see themselves as victims and the goverment have allowed them to be victims and lined their pocket because of this, the PART Maori will always be victims.
Who wouldn't when you can get millions of dollars handed to you on a platter. Hell its almost like getting the dole but better. Are they happy, are they no longer a victim? Hell no, what else can we get say's the PART Maori, perhaps the seabed as we can make huge bucks out of that!
I ask you who really should be the victim now? Part Maori or the poor New Zealanders footing the bill. The moron Hone and his racial outbursts or the poor New Zealanders having to not only fund him but listen to his uneducated crap that flies out of his ugly head when he opens his big mouth? The majority of prisoners who blame their oppression for the crimes they have commited or the poor soles they where commited against?
Everybody can play the victim card, some of us however know the best way to deal with these things are by learning by your mistakes, getting over it, and getting on with it. Part Maori seem to have difficulty grasping this concept. So perhaps New Zealanders should adopt the same attitude and become victims. Sue Part Maoris for the crimes they commit and the pain they cause,the racial verbal attacks against us as well. Then perhaps we can then start getting our hard earned millions back. The way the crime stats read it won't take us long!

"Pakeha sensitivity on racial issues is, of course, understandable. It’s difficult to feel positive about a country founded on bad faith, violence and the wholesale expropriation of the indigenous inhabitants. Much easier to construct a national mythology which declares the exact opposite to be true.

Up until the mid-1970s, New Zealand’s founding myth went something like this.

In the beginning were the Moriori – a primitive Melanesian people who were easily defeated and exterminated by a proud and warlike Polynesian race called the Maori. The arrival of Europeans profoundly disrupted Maori society, forcing their chiefs to seek the protection of the all-powerful British Empire. Almost alone among Britain’s colonies, New Zealand was founded peacefully and in good faith. The 1840 Treaty of Waitangi guaranteed native property rights and gave Maori the legal status of British subjects. Unfortunately, the warlike Maori tribes proved incapable of keeping the peace, and the British Government was required to subjugate them by military force. As the Moriori succumbed to the more powerful Maori, so were the Maori forced to give way before the more civilised Europeans. However, the dignity and valour of their Maori adversaries left a deep and favourable impression on the victorious "Pakeha" settlers. Convinced they were descended from the same Indo-European stock, the two peoples intermarried freely, producing a vigorous hybrid nation famed throughout the world for its racial harmony.

Over the course of the last thirty years, this myth has been relentlessly deconstructed by both Pakeha and Maori historians. For some New Zealanders, learning the truth about their country’s past has been a liberating experience, but for many others it has been profoundly disorienting and unsettling. Particularly galling has been the State’s effective endorsement of the revisionists’ work. For a surprisingly large number of citizens, this official repudiation of the nation’s founding myths is something akin to treason." ...LOL...

The English did us no favours by settling raher than eliminating all foes. We now have to throw more of our hard earned cash away on people who have been taking it already for years by means of the dole, DPB and prison. We should have done to these winging jerks the same as they did to the Moriori eliminating them totally. Mind you the way we are going we may just get the chance to, as I like so many are not going to give up all we have worked for in a hurry. Especially to folk whom have had their hand out for as much as they can get and not contributed bugger all, that is unless you want to take the crime and unemployment rates into account. Give it all to the full blooded Maoris the rest can go to hell!
p.s. I am a New Zealander not a Pakeha. Are you sure your not Moari? You sure do like using their words.
