Maori whining about protection & equality

Maori

But you don’t mind using the benefits of Northern hemisphere technology, do you…….benefits you use in every single daily aspect of your lives.

It’s a fact that ‘maori’ have actually invented/discovered absolutely nothing technological.

They have been instrumental in finding new processes and solutions to various scientific and academic problems and deserve kudos for that, but never invented anything.

No-one else here seems to mind sharing, in fact everyone except ‘maori’ sees the population of NZ as one people – New Zealanders, an ability which seems to have escaped ‘maori’. ….

And then read why the TOW was written and agreed upon in the first place; it was to protect you all from yourselves, from raiding, from being sold by various tribes into slavery, from being cannibalised by neighbours, protection from various other nations who coveted these isles who would have given you a damn site worse treatment than you ever got from the British.

No-one cares who was here first, all most people want to do is simply discover the truth of who else has been here in the long history of these isles.

All ‘maori’ have done since gaining protection and equality is whinge about it, twist NZ history, claim everything in sight, change the meaning of words to suit, and squeeze as much money from the country as possible to the point where now our hospitals, health and housing are in jeopardy due to the lack of available government funding.

And the ‘squeezed’ money doesn’t even trickle down to the average ‘maori’ either – it stays in the hands of tribal elite. Well done….

‘Pakeha’ is a Maori word

I have seen this same message in many tweets and Facebook posts. They say something to the tune of, “How ironic that the ‘Pakeha’ Party is named from a Maori word”.

I don’t understand the reasoning here. The Pakeha Party is about equality for all New Zealanders, and is not about excluding Maori or Maori culture. The point in this tweet would be a valid one, if The Pakeha Party was racist or a White Supremacist movement which of course it is not. The fact that the movement uses a Maori word at all shows that it embraces Maori as it does with all races.

What these kinds of tweets prove is there are the many misconceptions about the Pakeha Party. Surely if a person bothered to educate themselves as to what the movement was about, then they wouldn’t make comments like that. This sort of ignorance is probably no different to those Pakeha in our history who were against equality for Maori. Perhaps if they lived back then they would be equally against equality for Maori as they are for Pakeha now.

Think about it. If you had to make a choice as to which point was racist out of:

1) Parties that are race-based with a pro-race agenda; or
2) Parties that promoted equal rights for all races;

I would certainly choose point 1 as being the racist of the two.

And so it is that The Pakeha Party movement stands with point 2. Not for Pakeha privilege or a Pakeha only agenda, but that all have equal privilege regardless of race.
